Some speak with deeper meanings, others appear to be that perfect fit in the jigsaw, and the finishing touch to a modern home. Here are a few tips on choosing a tapestry. Angela Dawson-Field - Making an Impact With Tapestry Art By : Angela Dawson-Field Splendid tapestries imported from Europe adorned many American homes in the 17th and 19th century. Elaborate designs were more often than not found in a parlour than in the bedroom and were very much on display. Often a European made tapestry was among the most valued items listed in a householder’s possession. America’s industrial revolution and urbanisation of the cities gave rise to unprecedented wealth among the elite. These included the Vanderbilts and Astors. European style homes were inspired by and modelled on palaces in the Mother country. Angela Dawson-Field - Medieval Tapestry- A Timeless Stalwart in Home Décor By : Angela Dawson-Field The imagery of medieval tapestry conveyed messages of love and redemption, of the senses and perception and deep religious meanings. A combination of the cultures of German and Roman Art ensured that religious themes remained a pillar to artistic development during the Middle Ages. Angela Dawson-Field - Tapestries in American Décor: A Short History By : Angela Dawson-Field Tapestries were brought to America by European colonists who aspired to be as refined as the well heeled in their mother countries. America saw a number of fashions imported from Europe at this time to ensure the new immigrants kept up with changes in vogue. Tapestries were used as wall hangings or bed hangings and European made work was often listed among the most valued item in a householder’s inventory. At this time the best bed in the house was often decorated lavishly with tapestry art and found more often in a parlour than a bedroom. Angela Stephens - Design Styles - Contemporary Style By : Angela Stephens Contemporary and modern are words often used to mean the same style, but in fact they are different. I’ll explore modern style in a different article, but for now we will focus on contemporary style. Contemporary design incorporates many colors and textures. Though sleek and simple, it is also fresh and comfortable, not cold or stark. Angela Stephens - Design Styles - Cottage Style By : Angela Stephens Cottages were originally summer or vacation homes or simple country houses. As a vacation house, owners were interested in it being easy to care for, fun, durable and mostly for spring and summertime use. They were often furnished with leftovers, hand- me downs, or bargains. Pieces were meant to be used and enjoyed. Time spent at the cottage was supposed to be full of pleasures for the senses. Angela Stephens - Design Styles - Retro By : Angela Stephens Retro design encompasses several decades and many different design details, but they all seem to have a uniting outlook. After the gloomy rationing of World War II, people were ready for some bright colors and cheerful design. New technologies developed during the war made it possible to experiment with shapes and colors and affordability. The possibilities seemed endless and so did their optimism. Angela Stephens - Design Styles - Traditional By : Angela Stephens Traditional style spans a broad range of cultures and time periods, and can include everything from opulent and ornate to spare and simple. The ties that bind them to Traditional style are the familiarity of silhouette and use of architectural details. Often homes with traditional style are older and have an abundance of architectural details such as elaborate or chunky moldings, arches, columns, intricate tile or wood floor patterns, beams, built in cabinetry, etc. The shapes are familiar because the have a historical influence. Angela Stephens - Design Styles - Transitional Style By : Angela Stephens The importance of comfort and relaxation in our homes has been growing at the same fast pace as our hectic busy lives. Transitional design is at the forefront of that idea. It takes the stuffy attitude out of traditional style and the cold feeling from contemporary style and melds it into an elegant, updated , classic, yet casual space. It allows for a little bit of eclecticism- you can pick and choose the elements you like, and mix them together. Angela Stephens - Design Styles – Country Style By : Angela Stephens French Country design displays a rustic version of the more formal French designs. Wood pieces are often left unfinished, or possibly finished in warm honey tones. Use of natural materials, such as woven rush seats or a natural stone floor, is common and can add to the rural feel. Wrought iron or other weathered metal finishes are at home in French Country style. Popular colors would include saturated hues of yellow, blue, green, and gold. Angela Stephens - Design Styles – Modern By : Angela Stephens The social and economic ideals of modernism play a role in the Modern design aesthetic. Though the design reform movement began in the 19th century, it gained a more mainstream following in the 1920’s. Due to social and economic unrest in Europe, the climate of change and rebellion against traditional values, art, religion, and design was in full swing. After World War II, Modern style gained popularity, but lost much of its association with many of the socio-economic ideals. It became about the design and not the philosophy behind it. Annette Badowski - What is Housemaid’s Knee? By : Annette Badowski Symptoms of prepatellar bursitis, or Housemaid's knee can include a limited range of motion in the knee joint caused by the swelling within the bursa (just over the kneecap), which can cause a limited range of motion of the joint. There can also be a vague feeling of tightness of fullness, which is quite possibly a byproduct of the swelling. In some cases, an abscess may develop. Symptoms of prepatellar bursitis are usually relieved when sitting still and aggravated by kneeling.

Some treatments involve rest, cold and heat therapy, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
