Colin Firth – The Importance of Being Earnest 2002 – Part 4 HD

The story revolves around two men in Victorian England, John (Jack) Worthing and Algernon (Algy) Moncrieff. Whenever Jack travels to London from his Hertfordshire estate, he says he is going to see his (fictitious) wayward brother Ernest. Once in London he keeps his privacy by calling himself Ernest. This tactic is especially important as his beloved, Gwendolen, declares that she could only love a man named Ernest. Her cousin, Algy, is the one person who knows Jack’s secret and one day he travels down to the estate, announcing himself to Jack’s attractive ward Cecily as the infamous Ernest. Cecily is enamoured of him and his name, but upon Jack’s return home and Gwendolen’s unexpected arrival it becomes clear there are both too many and too few Ernests.

An Extensive Tour Of Brooklyn NY On Bicycle Ditmas Park Part 24

For more check out myworldtravel.weebly.com An Extensive Tour Of Brooklyn NY On Bicycle Ditmas Park Ditmas Park is a neighborhood in western Flatbush in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, east of Kensington, and is one of three Flatbush neighborhoods which have been officially designated Historic Districts. Located on land that remained rural until the early 20th century, the neighborhood consists of many large, free-standing Victorian homes built in the 1900s. Ditmas Park is roughly bounded by Coney Island Avenue to the west, Beverley Road to the north, Ocean Avenue to the east and Newkirk Avenue to the south. Ditmas Park is patrolled by the NYPD’s 70th Precinct. Newkirk Avenue, Coney Island Avenue, and Cortelyou Road are the neighborhood’s commercial strips while many of their east-west streets are lined with historic Victorian style homes. Since much of Ditmas Park is residential, many locals go to nearby Park Slope to run errands and shop, although the neighborhood has seen increased commercialization due to its recent gentrification. The Ditmas Park Association, founded in 1908, hosts social events, publishes a newsletter and a home improvement directory, and works on numerous civic issues, often jointly with its sister neighborhoods and the Flatbush Development Corporation. The Flatbush Development Corporation hosts an annual Victorian Flatbush House Tour. Throughout the eighties and early nineties, wealthy families purchased the large Victorian homes, but in …

Victorian Era Hairstyles (Part 6)

Insights into Interior Design: Designing in Style. Part II: Traditional – Jacobean and Victorian

Interior design has always been impacted by fashion trends – both historically and in the modern day. In this article series, “Designing in Style,” I explore the meaning of style for interior designers.

I draw on my experience working alongside many of London’s best-known interior design teams. This second article in my series introduces traditional/period design, with a focus on the Jacobean and Victorian styles.

Traditional design uses materials that reflect the wealth and opulence of historic times. London Interior Designers will often take the best of the features that were available back then and skilfully combine them with elements that are available today. Traditional/period interior design projects tend to focus on elegance, with a look and feel that is comfortable, rich and sumptuous, although sometimes also a little fragile.

The Jacobean theme is popular in London mansions and other residences that have a real sense of history. The Jacobean style focuses on heavy wooden features, with dark-stained oak often used to create panels for walls and floorboards. Oak is also often used for the furniture, and the overall interior design feel is that of robustness, with pleasantly-proportioned pieces to fill the available space. Tapestries are also an important part of the Jacobean look. However, many interior designers recognise that tapestries can be impractical nowadays, and one approach often used by London’s best-known consultancies is to recreate the tapestry appearance on modern upholstered furniture or curtains.

One caveat with Jacobean interior designs is that the style does need plenty of natural light, because otherwise the darker wood stains can seem uninspired. This can be problematic in smaller London residences, but is generally not an issue with more luxurious mansions that often feature huge south-facing windows and substantial grounds.

The Victorian interior design style, by contrast, is considered a more staid approach. Interior designers often focus on small rounded tables, often covered entirely in cloth, and fat, heavily-buttoned chesterfield settees. So much of London became urbanised in Victorian times that the style also came to include nature as a theme for textiles, serving as a counterpoint to accelerating industrialisation. Consequently, Victorian interior design schemes often feature floral elements and birds on both walls and furnishings.

In the next article in my “Designing in Style” interior design series, I will focus on a third and final period style that is particularly important for London residences – the Georgian style.

Decorating with Furniture Layout – Part Five – QC Design School

Interior decorating course tutorial: Looking at fabrics to use within a room and how to bring out the best colours within the space. QC Design School offers distance learning courses to help start your career as a decorating professional. Now that we’ve looked at all the fabrics in this room, I’d like to take them in the actual room and see them with the rug and come up with the ones that are going to work nicely in the room. Right away I see ones that I don’t like and ones that I love, this is why I think it’s helpful to bring everything back into the room and it’s OK for me to sit back in my office and pick colours according to my little picture of the carpet. It is actually when you get into the room with the lighting with the rug, then you’re going to see what is going to work or not work. I don’t know if you have any favourites at this point. Now right away that one I don’t like at all, it’s too strong it’s not really working, I thought it would be interesting to look at but that’s a goner. I love that, this carpet has a lot of red and I’m down playing the red and going more into the greens and the blues. In this case, this one works really beautifully, when you see the more muted tones of the greens and the blues. I wasn’t sure how well it would work until I got it in the room again and it does work quite nice, it really pulls in the softer versions of the greens and the blues. Has a little touch of the red in this one to make it interesting. This is a little bit …
