Living with Pattern

Lifestyle & Home

A design book filled with beautiful photography and clear ideas for how to use pattern to decorate your home. If you focus on pattern, from texture and color to furniture and textiles, everything else will fall into place. Pattern is the strongest element in any room. In Living with Pattern, Rebecca Atwood demystifies how to use that element, a design concept that often confounds and confuses, demonstrating how to seamlessly mix and layer prints throughout a house. She covers pattern usage you probably already have, such as on your duvet cover or in the living room rug, and she also reveals the unexpected places you might not have thought to add it: bathroom tiles, an arrangement of book spines in a reading nook, or windowpane gridding in your entryway. This stunning book showcases distinct uses of pattern in homes all over the country to inspire you to realize that an injection of pattern can enliven any space, helping to make it uniquely yours.

El submayordomo Minor

Lifestyle & Home

Una hilarante y emocionante novela de iniciación sobre un joven mayordomo que descubre los misterios de la vida y las heridas del amor.Lucy Minor, un joven que está dejando atrás la adolescencia y adentrándose en el mundo adulto, se marcha del pueblo entre montañas del que no ha salido jamás. Lo hace después de sufrir un desengaño amoroso y constatar que en ese lugar en el que abundan los rudos gigantones será siempre un marginado. Lleva en el bolsillo una carta con una oferta de trabajo: un puesto de ayudante de mayordomo en el castillo Von Aux.El ingenuo Lucy se topará con personajes variopintos: un mayordomo dado a filosofar y a la melancolía; una cocinera inepta que no acepta críticas; un aristócrata que cada día envía una desesperada carta de amor sin obtener nunca respuesta; unos peculiares guerrilleros que combaten en las montañas sin saber muy bien por qué; dos ladrones profesionales que ejercen su oficio en los trenes, y Klara, la hija de uno de ellos... Rodeado por esta galería de excéntricos, Lucy indagará en la misteriosa desaparición de su antecesor, descubrirá en el castillo a un ser humano salvaje que come roedores, será testigo de una extraña orgía en la que una tarta se convierte en instrumento sadomasoquista, escuchará algunas historias sobre pérfidos seductores y maestros del engaño y, sobre todo, irá descubriendo las pasiones y pesares del mundo adulto y los vaivenes del amor, que «no es para pusilánimes».DeWitt toma como punto de partida la novela centroeuropea, los antihéroes de Robert Walser y el universo kafkiano, y los mezcla con un protagonista que parece salido de un slapstick con unas gotas de cine expresionista. El resultado es un Bildungsroman posmoderno, que combina un humor descacharrante con una profunda mirada sobre las incertezas y perplejidades de un joven ante las paradojas de la vida.

Professional installation of the right style of roof using suitable materials can yield substantial savings for the homeowner in repair and maintenance costs, create a lower environmental impact and reduce the demand on energy and natural resources.This eBook provides readers with comprehensive information to help new homeowners choose a roof. It gives details about the most commonly used roof styles and materials, their benefits and disadvantages, and various methods of installation. It highlights the type of damage that roofs typically sustain and provides advice to help homeowners decide whether they should repair or replace a damaged roof.
