5 Weird Happy Rooms: Sunday Outings & Rolls
@miracleonthirtyfourth

I got a nice message the other day from a TIR reader who mentioned he liked the way I mix classics with whimsical elements. I love that he is so observant and understands that! It’s true, I have infused a sense of imagination into every home we have ever lived in.

For me, imagination can be a sense of humor, a funny pattern or color that always seems to go into my style. I wouldn’t have it any other way, mixing wacky moments with classics makes ME happy!

In the coming weeks I’ll be sharing how I decorate to bring some imagination into our home and how I use those elements in combination with our classic pieces. I’ll also show you more about our upcoming decorating plans and how we designed our new kitchen and dining room

Lab Grown Diamonds in India 

Posted on 23/01/2026 By Kartika

Lab grown diamonds are a new and growing trend in the Indian jewelry market. These diamonds are created in a lab, rather than mined from the earth, and offer a number of advantages over mined diamonds. They are often more affordable, conflict-free, and environmentally friendly. 

The Indian lab grown diamond market is still in its early stages, but it is growing rapidly. In 2022, the market was valued at $1 billion, and it is expected to reach $5 billion by 2025. This growth is being driven by a number of factors, including the increasing awareness of lab grown diamonds, the growing demand for sustainable jewelry, and the rising cost of mined diamonds. 

There are a number of companies that are manufacturing lab grown diamonds in India. Some of the largest companies include: 

  • Diamond Foundry is a California-based company that has a lab in India.

How I create living rooms that showcase your unique style |

Posted on 22/01/2026 By Kartika
House Design

The living room is arguably the most important room in the house. It is where we spend most of our time with family and friends. It is public-facing and often receives the lion’s share of the soft furnishing and decoration budget.

I recommend taking an artistic approach when designing living rooms. It’s a fun and exciting way to express yourself and showcase your unique style. The objective is to immerse yourself in a space that you love surrounded by objects that are meaningful. I can think of nothing better than to be enveloped by what you love. It is an equal privilege to be invited to share in someone else’s living space when it reflects who they are.

Here’s how you can get started on your very home personal living space.

1. Choose a color scheme that you like

What expenses can you deduct when renovating a rental property?

Posted on 21/01/2026 By Kartika
House Renovation

Rental property owners can typically deduct property taxes, insurance, interest, condo fees, repairs, utilities and other related costs. A rental property can even run at a loss allowing the taxpayer to claim deductions against their other sources of income.

Rental properties: Current vs capital expenses

There is a distinction between repairs and renovations for a rental property, Shawn. Repairs are referred to as current expenses, meaning they are deductible in the year incurred. Renovations are capital expenses that cannot be deducted immediately but can reduce your capital gain upon sale.

According to the Canada Revenue Agency:

A current expense is one that generally recurs after a short period. For example, the cost of painting the exterior of a wooden property is a current expense.

A capital expense generally gives a lasting benefit or advantage. For example, the cost of putting vinyl siding on the exterior walls of a wooden property

Before and After: How a $360,000 renovation transformed a Junction shack into a sparkling family home

Goodbye, muddy floors, ’70s paneling and dilapidated shed. Hello, airy interiors, bespoke cabinets and EV-ready garage

Toronto, Real Estate, Before and After: basement before


The place

A three-plus-one-bedroom, four-bathroom semi in the Junction that just underwent a big-time renovation. It has a separate one-bedroom basement apartment and a new two-car garage with a panel that can support an EV charger.

Thehistory

Gord Harrison, a contractor, initially purchased this 100-year-old property, for $1 million in February of 2021, as a home for his young family. He brought in his friend Shawn Chua, with whom he had partnered on a dozen previous renos, to share the load. But, a year into the job, they discovered a rat’s nest of problems: poor insulation, asbestos and a basement floor that required re-pouring. Harrison needed to recoup costs, so he kiboshed moving in, instead opting to rent

This Midcentury Portland Home’s Transformation Took Nearly Five Years

Posted on 19/01/2026 By Kartika

Casey Keasler values ​​experiential learning. The founder of interior design firm Casework recently completed a nearly five-year renovation of her 1966 Portland, Oregon, home, which she affectionately calls the “Ranchalow” thanks to its ranch-meets-bungalow vibe. “I used the house as a bit of a testing ground,” the designer says. “Doing a lot of the work myself gave me a better understanding of the details and process, which strengthened the design as well as my relationships with vendors and tradespeople.”

In conceiving a design scheme for the 1,250-square-foot mid-century home that would suit her needs and reflect her personal style, Casey followed the same process as she does for all her clients. “We are very calculated as we develop the palette and vision, and always set three key phrases,” she explains. For her own home they are: “golden hour”—the warmth and glow of that really beautiful September sunshine; “easy like Sunday

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwanese chip maker MediaTek was ranked the fifth largest IC designer by revenue in the third quarter by market research firm TrendForce.


MediaTek saw its quarter-on-quarter revenue decline 11.6% to NT$152 billion (US$4.68 billion), according to TrendForce. MediaTek was hampered by weak sales numbers for the Chinese smartphone brand and clients who saw inventory corrections.


MediaTek experienced a decline in revenue from mobile solutions, smart edge platforms and power ICs in the third quarter. TrendForce notes that going forward, inventory reduction will remain MediaTek’s top priority.


Fellow Taiwanese IC designer Realtek, which ranked seventh in Q3, saw revenue decline 5.5% from the previous quarter to US$979 million.

Ask Angi: What are the biggest upcoming home shopping trends?

Posted on 15/01/2026 By Kartika
Home Improvement

The last few years have seen major changes in our lifestyles and spending, and our homes are no exception. Angi’s Household Expense Report for 2022 shows how things have changed this year, and what you can expect for 2023.

The single biggest impact on home spending in recent years has, of course, been the pandemic. As homeowners hunker down in their homes for most of 2020, they are thinking less about how home improvements can affect value, and instead how they will change and improve their lifestyles as everyone stays home more.

Now that many pre-pandemic activities and behaviors have returned, how has this affected household expenses? Angie surveyed 6,500 consumers to determine what is most important to them. It turns out that lifestyle needs are still the main driver. Prior to 2020, “return on investment” was the top motivator for home improvement spending in the Angi survey. This year,
