Style mavens! Ree Drummond shared a new decorating hack on Instagram on Tuesday, July 11, after revealing she was renovating her office.
“The dogs will get mud all over this but you only live once,” the Food Network personality captioned a photo of her new space in her Instagram stories.
To add a pop of color to the room, Ree, 54, decided to install geometric floor tiles that perfectly reflect her vibrant personality. The red, blue and yellow hues of the tiles are stunning.
Using primary colors in her projects has definitely become one of Ree’s design signatures since rising to fame on TV in 2011 with The Pioneer Woman. She previously launched a collection of homeware sold at multiple retailers that fuses her love for primary colors and floral patterns.

The design shows a thoughtful approach to addressing challenges inside a built mass, creating opportunities for visually open spaces by adding colorful graphics. As part of climatic considerations, passive design strategies and planning principles have been incorporated.

Text description provided by the architects. Nanjing Combat Machinery Factory is located on the west side of Hongshan in the north of the city and is nearby the Nanjing Railway Station. The factory was built in the 1950s. With the expansion of the city and industrial development, the production department moved out, which leads to the idle of the original factory. Around 2006, people tried to renew the factory, hoping to reopen it as the creative industrial center.

Within five years of moving to Europe, businessman Douglas Loewe “fell in love” with Barcelona, he said.
He decided to buy a home there, spending about 500,000 euros ($545,000) to purchase an apartment in the city’s famous Eixample neighborhood in 1999, the senior operating partner at Macquarie said.

Loewe had renovated the apartment once before, but “it needed refreshing on a lot of levels” after almost 20 years, he said.

Whitehorse’s Beringia Interpretive Center re-opens its doors this weekend after a five-month closure for renovations — and visitors are being promised a more engaging and interactive experience of Yukon’s Ice Age history.
“Change was a constant thing in the Yukon in the past,” said territorial government paleontologist Grant Zazula, who was involved in the facility’s overhaul.
“Extinction, survival and change through time was really what we wanted to get across.”
The center, just off the Alaska Highway, is home to skeletons, fossils, and other exhibits that aim to tell the story of life in the Yukon through the ages. Beringia refers to the land bridge that once connected Alaska and Siberia, over which humans and wildlife migrated into North America tens of thousands of years ago.
The Beringia Interpretive Center first opened in the late 1990s, before Yukon had its own paleontology program. (Paul Tukker/CBC)
