Belmont Park renovation work could bring the Breeders’ Cup to New York in the future

The home of the third and final leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown is finally getting a major makeover.

A little over a year from now, after it hosted the Belmont Stakes in 2024, Belmont Park is set to undergo a $455 million renovation of everything from the track surface to a new, smaller grandstand more fit for the sport in the modern era.

Once completed, the track should host the best horses in the world for a Breeders’ Cup in the not-too-distant future, but the expected construction timeline raises the question of where the 2025 Belmont will take place. New York Racing Association president and CEO Dave O’Rourke expects a clearer answer on that in the coming months when the project is further along.

The 1 1/2-mile race known as “the test of the champion” has been run before at Aqueduct in Queens, from 1963-67 when Belmont Park was

Living with a renovation: Preparation, communication are key

Posted on By Kartika
Renovation

Renovation projects can be very disruptive and stressful. If you are like most people renovating, you cannot easily vacate your home and must find ways to live alongside the work. Luckily, there are ways to prepare.

Communicating with your renovator is a big part of the process. Work with your renovator to draw up a project plan that best accommodates your family’s needs. Talk to your renovator about your household’s daily schedule, any vacations that you have planned and any special circumstances that need to be accommodated, so they can factor into the work plan and schedule for your project. This way, particularly disruptive or messy parts of the project, such as refinishing hardwood floors, can be arranged for when you are away or otherwise accommodated around your family’s schedule.

Make sure you discuss which parts of your house will be affected by your renovation project. Depending on factors, such

5 Painted Kitchen Cabinets to Inspire Your Next Renovation | Architectural Digest

Katherine used Sherwin-Williams’s Rookwood Dark Red for her painted kitchen cabinets. “This is a Victorian color that feels unusual for a modern kitchen,” she reflects. “I like the juxtapositions.”

Katherine Thewlis didn’t let being a renter stop her from tackling the kitchen in her 1,200-square-foot Johnson City, Tennessee, home last fall. The e-designer and blogger was more than ready to say goodbye to the many features within the space, which included what she called an Easter egg yellow hue, wood paneling, and linoleum floors. However, given that she wouldn’t be able to take on a major renovation, Katherine had to get creative. She needed to keep the kitchen’s original flat panel cabinets intact for storage purposes but did give them a major facelift. “I sanded and repainted them myself to match the wall paint color,” she says. “I wanted it to have a built-in look. I purchased some

inspired by the cinema world, MCA forms reel house in colorado

located in Coloradothe Reel House sees the sweeping renovation of a Victorian two-story home, offering a modern take on a timeless classic. Inspired by the client’s profession in cinematography, the project by MCA (Matteo Cainer Architects) was designed to capture the essence of the cinematic experience, characterized by excitement, surprise, emotion and lighting techniques.

How to Make a Shelf with a Wooden Gallery Rail

Renovation

We are currently refreshing the laundry room and I am slowly completing a project to update this space. We finished it almost 7 years ago and it is one of the most used rooms in our house (after the kitchen). But now that we have 3 kids and my style has evolved, it’s time for some changes! My latest project is to make a shelving with wooden gallery rails and I’m here to share all the details with you!

How to Make a Wooden Gallery Rail Shelf

When we first finished the laundry room, we put a shelf against the wall above the washer and dryer that was about 5 feet long. I don’t know why I decided on that length or why I didn’t extend it all the way to the wall. It was the start of my design journey and the laundry room was the first room I ever designed from top to bottom!
