Nice restoration on this 1890 Italianate Victorian in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It's white, but the restoration is very good, so it needs the new owners to put their own stamp on it. 4bds, 2.5ba, $525K.

The wood has been stripped, but they accented the posts in black and brightened the rest up with white.

I can't tell if they oiled the bare wood or put a satin finish on it, but I like it.

The sitting room has a wonderful original marble fireplace.

What were they thinking with that modern light fixture and modern furniture. Why do buyers feel that they have to make their beautiful historic Victorians look new?

Totally in love with the way they did this kitchen. No ugly new or 80s style cabinetry. How refreshing.

And, they left the ancient fireplace. Wish they didn't paint it white, so you could see the details of the old brick.

This is cool. They left the scullery untouched and didn't make it a home office or something.

And, there you see the original maids stairs going up to their quarters from the scullery.

Look at the sink in the guest powder room. What a beauty.

The primary bedroom is large and has another original marble fireplace, but unfortunately, they never put in a closet. I would have to get a carpenter to come in and design one against this back wall.

Small bath with modern tile, vintage tub & sink.

If this became a child's room that mantle would look adorable painted in pastel colors.

Look at the fireplace in this room. Beautiful.

This bedroom is huge and has an en-suite.

It was renovated with a modern shower, but the light and mirror look original.

The basement isn't finished, but they brightened it up with white paint. Look at the old foundation. And, there's a vintage sink.

It's not bad.

Looks like they watch TV and exercise down here.

They have a patio and fenced in yard in the back.

I wonder if that was an extension they build on the original home. I would buy this house, it's cool.

Looks like a nice neighborhood, but it's on a service road. That wouldn't bother me.

[ehh-is-the-name]

You know when I said I'd make a Floory rug..?

So yeah, I did it.

This is your calling card to do the same. Make a rug, I triple-dog dare you. Don't know how?

Here's a breakdown of how I made The Floor:

Before fully getting into it, in that rb I said:

We could have so much mroe than what the shop offers- it could be glorious. I couldn't get tuft chin hair or flower power blush floor with $45 dollars at their store, but I could get it irl for the low low price of like a week-straight worth of work.

Ha... haha.... No. It took a lot longer than that. MUCH longer than that.

This is a little jitter lapse with the dates I worked on him. In each pic I spent around 2-3 hours working on him, except the last few in August. Those I spent like 3-5 hours on because I needed him to be finished before the semester started. My goal was to get him finished and sitting in my dorm, and I fucking did :)

= - - =

Starting from the top though, since I had the design after making the rb post linked, I decided on the size. I was watching the video showcasing him as a rug, and I gauged he was about a yard wide, so I based my measurements on that. I knew that I was going to needle punch him instead of latch hook him because I felt the punching would be faster. And well... I've done punch needling before this project so I figured it'd be faster than learning a new technique.

Here's what I mean, for a frame of reference.

Since I went the punching route, I knew he'd need a frame to be punched out on. To keep the fabric taut and all that jazz. Luckily for me I had a bunch of wood hanging around from an old bed's slots, so I made the frame out of that. Similarly, I had a bunch of fabric lying around.

Word of advice: DO NOT USE NORMAL FABRIC WITH A NORMAL PUNCH NEEDLE YOU WILL TEAR THAT SHIT UP. Learned that the hard way-

The fabric I used was NOWHERE near "loose" enough for a big punch needle. Loose in the sense that it has more holes in it. On the left is the fabric you're supposed to use when making a rug (Monk's Cloth), and on the right is the fabric I used (pic not of the exact cloth but close).

Notice that the holes on the right are a LOT smaller... I did not realise this mattered until I'd already primed the frame and drew him on with a sharpie.

Bask in his glory.

To give a breif on how I did this, I hooked my 'puter up to the TV with an HTMI, opened the image I had of him (it's a bit different than the of doodle in the rb b/c I wanted brighter colours), and literally held the wooden frame with the fabric on it up to my TV and traced it. I traced it from the inside first so that it would be mirrored on the side I would be punching on. If you draw the design you want to punch on the side you're punching on please mirror the image first.

Forgot to say, yes I had a staple gun too, so that didn't add into the price of making this Floory rug.

After this point, it was pretty smooth sailing, sorta... It would've been if I'd bought a thinner yarn for the main body. See, in this whole experiment, I was very dead set on keeping this project under $45 so I bought a large ball of cheap yarn. I tried to gauge how much I would need with the needle height (about 3/4 inch I used), but I got scared and just wound up buying this giant green ball that I needed to de-ply to work with properly. You could kinda see it in the jitter-lapse below, but yeah.

Before punching with this Red Heart size 4 yarn, I had to separate 1 of the ply FOR THE ENTIRE RUG. I had to pull out a substantial amount from the big skein, de-ply it, roll it back into a ball, then needle punch with it.

And why did I have to do this? BECAUSE I WAS USING THE WRONG FABRIC AND NEEDLE PUNCH FOR MAKING A WHOLE ASS RUG!!

I didn't know that the needle punch needle I had was an embroidery one, NOT a normal needle punch needle. Notice that it's small, and embroidery floss is the thing going through the hole and NOT size 4 yarn. And for the right, notice that it's also kinda small but the needle itself is a lot thicker, the channel that the yarn is going through is wider than the yarn itself- and that it's YARN AND NOT EMBROIDERY FLOSS.

Needless to say, it was aggravating and made the process take a lot longer than it should've. It wasn't impossible, I mean, you see him finished above and below, but it made it WAY more tedious, since a the thicker yard, even after being de-ply'd, still got stuck in the needle punch needle. After wresling with that off and on for... what about 4 months give or take, it was on to gluing and backing.

Going on the record to say that Tuft the World, Sam Made That, Shop Last., AJ MAKES, and BrokenBlvds' thread were the backbone of my glue searching, and rug-making experience. If you genuinely want to make a tuff rug (hand-punched or otherwise) their guides are so helpful <3

But for real, finding the right glue was a lot harder than anticipated. Many people said to use Roberts 3095 adhesive for rugs along with another glue, but I didn't have the funds for that, nor was planning to buy a whole gallon of rug glue I'd only for 1 project. I took up BrokenBlvds thread as my glue of choice, even though they were asking for something better. So far (about 3 months of use and a couple cleanings) the Roberts 6700 glue is holding up fine. The thing that isn't, is the yarn. After one vacuuming, fuzzies have been obscuring his eyes and junk. It's not bad, or even that noticeable, but I do miss his original state. That's what I get for using cheap yarn. I still love him to death tho.

Side tangent aside, I also used the 6700 because it has less of an odour, and I planned on bringing him to my dorm right when he was dry. While that was drying outside, I worked on the backing. The OG Floory rug had a nonslip backing attached (if I remember correctly), but mine does not! In similar fashion to the fabric of the rug itself, I also used left over fabric as his backing. For structure, I used some of my father's old uniform pants, and to make it more like dirt, I used an old bed sheet.

I stitched them together in a quilt-ish design so that the layers would be attached throughout the rug. That was a rush, but when I finished it I went out back and stuck it on there with a bit more Roberts 6700. When it was cured enough to come inside (3 days after gluing) I worked on the nonslip portion.

Had a rectangle of rug grip mat stuff, stuck some pins around the edges of Floory, traced the pins then cut it out. It's a little hard to see but looking up top, you can see a few of the pins sticking out around his edge.

After getting that, I released him from the frame, "pinked" his edges, and whip-stitched the edge shut.

That hurt my thumb SO FUCKIN BAD- Had to have pliers next to me for most of the whip-stitching, because it was so hard to get through the glue with a blunt needle. I used a blunt needle 'cause it was the only needle I had that could hold the yarn, and to keep in the spirit of the experiment... No way I was buying a needle when I had a needle that could technically work.

Now, in the name of the whole experiment, let me do a breakdown of the things I bought verse used:

Items Bought for project:

Green Red Heart Yarn - $15

Roberts 6700 Carpet Adhesive - $9

Wrong sized punch needle - $3

Total spent on Floory rug: $27

Items used in general:

9 different colours of yarn

About 1.5 yards of polyester/cotton blend fabric

1/2 of a flat sheet from a bedsheet set

1 pair of uniform pants

1 embroidery needle punch needle

4 (roughly) yard-long wood slots from a bed

Nails and screws (and the tools for those)

1 Staple gun & about 70 staples (I fucked up a lot of them & restapled)

A sewing machine

Pinking shears

Tapestry needles

etc...

Total if I had to buy all that: More than $45!

I put the lists side by side to say that I know saying "Oh just make it yourself" is easier said than done. If I didn't have all the shit I did, I would've just bought him myself like any sane person would. But no, I had the will and the materials, and I wanted The Floor in my dorm. And now here he is, along with my crazy ass Jhariah x hfjone bag...

That's for a different post- but forgive me, it's the most recent photo I have of him.

All and all, I had a good time working on him! It was very therapeutic to hunch on the floor of my living room and stab fabric a gazillion times to make The Floor from Inanimate Insanity. It drove me a bit inanimate insane, but honestly, I wake up every morning and see his face and it makes things better. So in reality, I guess you could say it was the friends I made along the way- thanks for watch

Why Sideboards Are A fantastic Addition To Any Home & What To Look For

Trying to increase the space in your lounge or dining area? A sideboard could possibly this website be the solution. Attractive & ultra functional, sideboards have leaped in popularity lately, & it is no great surprise why. To begin with, what is considered to be a sideboard?

Sideboards is fairly diverse word, spanning free standing, low to moderate height cabinets, which commonly include sliding or hanging doors or drawers, or even a combination of both. In fact, although a chest of drawers & a sideboard are twodistinct items, the word sideboard is commonly used more to talk about the general appearance, for instance a long, low chest of drawers with legs can also be a sideboard. Initially made for the dining-room, sideboards used to be a place to keep utensils, crockery, napkins, glasses & beverages, & were also known as a buffet.

These days the sideboard has grown to be extremely well known, & can be used in the lounge as well as the passageway, in the form of cupboard to set the television on, as spot to stow the 'bits & pieces' of every day living, or perhaps simply as a drinks bar. The arrival of slimmer tvs has meant it's possible to easily fit a Television set onto a sideboard, with most of the cables concealed at the rear of it. Not only is a sideboard extremely useful it is usually built to look wonderful & improve your decoration first & foremost.

Since most of the storage is hidden away inside the compartments the manufacturers will often focus on the outside, which means a number of sideboards are quickly becoming an item of modern furniture you will not want to do without. A good sized surface allows people that have some design and style taste to showcase their objets, and for everyone else an attractive table lamp or perhaps a elegant dish for house keys, purses and so on.

Quite a few sideboards, especially the European styles, have got eye-catching detailing on the front of the doors, such as glass with laser engraved designs, grooved wood, mirrored glass, or high gloss lacquer in vibrant or pale colours, intended to enhance the overall look. These days the manufacturers of sideboards are likely to strive to ensure that they're attractive to look at & at the same time practical.

From reasonably priced wood veneer sideboards, to top quality gloss lacquer sideboards from Italy you will find something to accommodate just about any price range. There is a huge selection of designs on the market from smooth contemporary styles with metal legs to conventional with special paint effects like limewashing as well as decorated folk details. The truth is the large selection of shapes and colours available in the market these days means that customers can be quite particular with what they really want, getting a sideboard geared to their space, instead of attempting to develop a space around a sideboard. Even with all of this choice though black, white & wood continue to be the most common colours for sideboards because they are generally more adaptable.

After you have selected your colour the following element to consider is dimensions. Sideboards aren't developed to common dimensions, therefore should you have a specific area to fill you will have to do your homework Offered in an extensive assortmentof dimensions, there's really no such thing as a regular height, width or depth. And then you have the interior of your sideboard to think about. Usually, if a sideboard is purchased it is purchased to keep particular kinds of things, therefore the dimensions & place of particulars such as shelving is very important. Quite often shelving is able to be shifted or even taken out, though not generally, thus, making this just one more element to take into consideration. Once again, there is simply no regular interior arrangement.

Although it's good to enjoy so many choices, buying a sideboard with the perfect appearance, the appropriate kind of interior storage space, & to fit specific measurements is usually laborious. So, just how, precisely, can you hunt down that ideal sideboard? The one which suits your dining area, will fit correctly & has precisely the ideal kind of interior storage space?

An excellent starting point is the internet. Lookups can be made by type, so that you can search for modern sideboards as well as classic sideboards. Materials can be looked for, for example a search for lacquer sideboards or wenge sideboards. When you have refined the design down it will become much simpler to check out measurements & interior fittings, & the good thing about the internet is that you are able to do all of it whilst sitting in the very lounge room that you are getting the sideboard for!

Research: Robot sculptures

Robot build

This video by Thomas Burns showcases how he built an electronic robot that can respond to commands using the circuit board of an Alexa.

After a lengthy montage of Burns goes around stalls selling electronic scraps, he comes back with a small scale CRT tv, with its circuit board open to be tampered with, mainly to hijack the horizontal signal and replace it with an audio signal. By connecting two of the lines to the audio circuit and connecting a phone to an amp, a wavegram appears and moves.

The 3D printing process begins and produces an eyeball and eyelids. the eye mechanisms are using a method developed by Will Kogi of Milheim Mechatronics, which is quick and cheap to build. Once finalised, the eyes can move freely with a sensor circuit board.

Now to work with a dissembled Alexa for reprogramming. With some altercation to the sister board so it could connect to a microcontroller, the Alexa can now activate and respond without additional commands. Extra work is now done for the eyes and their detailing with acrylics and have them covered I resin (With some mistakes made in terms of molds).

For the body of the robot, a chassis made from acrylic sheets is formed and fitted to hide all the parts. Once fitted, a test is done and the robot is complete.

Emerson Tung

Emerson Tung is a concept artist who specialises in illustrating armour and mechs. He has drawn a vast variety, from medieval-armor inspired robots to robots inspired by random items, all of them are gorgeously detailed and well designed. there's a lot of variety in terms of art direction, some more simple and serious than others, but they all work within their given worlds and contexts.

Wooden robot

Here's a robot by DR Toys about his process in making a robot entirely out of wood.

He starts out by mapping out the pieces he's going to cut with a pencil. Once the pieces are cut with a saw, they are sanded ti have grooves so parts could be fitted. This is how the base body is formed, with extra measuring and cutting done to actually put the pieces together (As well as drilling holes to put in other wood pieces into the robot itself). Wood disks are glued together with wood filler to hide seams.

Some designs are imprinted and cut out using a laser cutter and are sanded. They are placed using glue and tweezers as showcased by pencil guidelines. A frame is formed for volume and detailing for the bottom half of the body and then glued to the top part.

After finalising all the details, the robot is given a coating of blue paint with details like wear painted with acrylic paints.

Wooden toy robot

Another video about making a wooden toy robot. Yay.

Multiple pieces of wood have their sides measured and cut down by a chainsaw to form the body of the robot. Once the pieces are cut, some of them are drilled into to attach the limbs to the body. Once th pieces are actually finished, they are sanded down and indented with details. A large piece of sting is cut and glued into the holes so al the pieces could be connected to the torso. The wooden parts are then polished and have marbles inserted into the eye holes.

Pop culture robots

Here's a top 10 list of greatest robot designs in pop culture. I'll be honest: I never cared much for robots or mechas, at least in popular culture. There are some pretty good picks here, like Canti for FLCL and The Iron Giant, but I can tell the author has a bias towards mechs (Nothing wrong with that. They are pretty cool looking and can defiantly be iconic). I don't have a lot to elaborate on because I can't name a robot design that 1. Is popular and 2. Can beat out a Gundam of all things.
