A new home renovation show set in Charlotte is back for another season.

‘Artfully Designed’ is a new series on Magnolia Network that showcases the work of local designer Natalie Papier, muralist Racheal Jackson and abstract artist Frankie Zombie as they take an “art-forward approach” to transform different rooms in homes around the Charlotte area.

The cable series, which originally aired in 2022, has been picked up for a second season and will be filmed starting next month.

MOULTRIEGa. — Renovation and demolition of Willie J. Williams Middle School and CA Gray Middle School could begin in the next five years if voters approve Colquitt County School Districts’ upcoming ESPLOST.

“Since the fall of the school year ’21-22, the Board of Education has been working closely with Altman + Barrett Architects to look at options for addressing school building age and size with respect to enrollment. A full facility review was conducted. Architectural engineers and members of the BOE evaluate building age, infrastructure needs, growth or decline in registrations, and other problems with maintenance and use of facilities,” said the district’s chief communications officer, Angela Hobby, via email Tuesday.

The facility project will be funded by the forthcoming ESPLOST fund – Educational Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax – fund. The district’s current ESPLOST funds will expire in September 2023, while the new plan (if approved by

After over five years of calling the place home, the couple is putting the four-bedroom property on the market for $649,000.

One of the main reasons why the couple bought the house was because of how convenient it was for them to commute to work, Rogers said. But after the pandemic, everything changed.

“Our jobs went full-time remote, and all of a sudden we weren’t in New York City anymore, ever,” Rogers said. “And we started thinking about if there was somewhere else we could live.”

Even though they live in an area with lots of conveniences nearby, including the grocery store, coffee shops, and even bars, it wasn’t the same as being in the city, she said.

“It was a really big shift for us to just be in our home and in the suburbs 24/7,” Rogers said. “So we

More questions over FirstOntario Center renovation timeline

Just in case there weren’t enough unknowns about the construction timetable for the promised renovations to FirstOntario Centre, a new puzzle has emerged.

The company that produces Disney On Ice says the popular skating show will make its annual visit to the arena next year.

“Our dates for the 2024 Disney On Ice in Hamilton at FirstOntario Center have been confirmed but have not been announced at this time,” Feld Entertainment said in an email to The Spectator.

That would surely be happy news for families who look forward to the show’s annual visit that traditionally lands on March break.

But hold on a second. The local group behind the $100-million-plus construction project says there are no shows of any kind planned in the new year because long-awaited renovations will be starting.

“ … (I) can simply share that there are no plans of booking into 2024, which we confirmed

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!

Change is on the horizon for Whidbey Island’s oldest library.

The Langley Library, which has been part of Village by the Sea for almost a century, will receive a much-anticipated update in the new year regarding the building’s accessibility and functionality.

The $2 million renovation project, which could start as early as February, will make better use of the library space downstairs and create meeting space for the public, among other things.

In 2021, the Sno-Isle Library received a $700,000 capital-boosting grant from the state for the project. In addition, the library system contributed $1.2 million and Friends of the Langley Library raised $30,000.

Since 2022, representatives from the Sno-Isle Library have met with members of the community, Langley City Council, the city’s Design Review Board, and the Historical Preservation Commission to gather input on proposed renovation plans.

Sno-Isle Library Deputy Director David Durante said nearly 50 people attended the
