Greytown, New Zealand's most creative corner

Last updated 14:06, August 3 2017 landmark White Swan on the Main Street of Greytown." title="" src="https://resources.stuff.co.nz/content/dam/images/1/k/t/0/p/j/image.related.StuffLandscapeSixteenByNine.620x349.1ksrps.png/1501725989333.jpg" class="photoborder" /> The landmark White Swan on the Main Street of Greytown. Greytown is an unlikely place for jihadists to run amok. But the turban-clad warriors are fighting a fierce battle inside the former bootmaker's shop in this quiet corner of rural New Zealand. Joining them in the tussle are the Camel Corps, spear-carrying dervishes and even a gun- toting Winston Churchill astride a horse. "That's the Sudan and the Battle of Omdurman, which Churchill was in," says David Cowe. "We actually make Churchill and the 21st Lancers. But we're always selling those."

think rooftop vegie patches and beehives

Image
The long retail spine of Sydney Road, Brunswick, just north of Melbourne's CBD, was once a prosperous trading outpost on the way to the goldfields. These days it's a bohemian mix of variety stores, op shops, halal butchers and Lebanese bakeries. Take a side street to the west, however, and a different picture emerges. Sandwiched between Sydney Road and the Upfield train line is an area undergoing rapid and widespread transformation. Light industry is fast being replaced by mid- rise apartment buildings , their inhabitants attracted by the short commute into town and cheaper prices than in the city's south-east. The quality of these units is, on the whole, depressingly bad; think poor ventilation and bedrooms that "borrow" natural light (a weasel word for being dark and windowless). The occasional jazzy façade tries feebly to make up for otherwise cheap construction amid a chorus of greys. At ground level, carpark roller doors alternate with mean pocket garden...

The one small furniture piece that can complete a room

Image
In the world of interior design, console tables are emerging as a must-have piece thanks to their ability to deliver maximum visual impact in a minimal amount of space. And the handy storage pieces are finding their way into homes in new and surprising ways. Here are a few of our favorite places to use a console table. UNDER A TV Unlike days of old, when we had big, bulky TV units to design a room around, today’s streamlined flatscreens can fit in small spaces with no fuss. Rather than dealing with a large TV stand , slide a console table under the TV, with the TV either mounted on the wall above it like artwork, or perched on top. Use the tabletop for a display or storage. UNDER ARTWORK Big, bold, modern artwork is very popular right now as it really wakes up a wall and makes a huge statement in a room. A perfect spot for a large painting — or any artwork, from a mirror to a grid of photos to a pair of botanicals — is over a lovely console . The table won’t compete with the art, b...

Power to the People (Solar Power, That Is)

Image
(Source: Sullivan Solar Power ) By Mark Hughes You may have heard the news: San Diego leads the country in kilowatts of solar panels installed , beating out LA and Honolulu — and by a lot. What’s going on? It’s like cell phones all over again. At first, just a few wealthy cranks have them, but before you know it, everyone and their kid has one. Was there a memo? Maybe this is you now: driving home from work, you can’t resist flicking a glance at the solar panel array on your neighbor’s roof and wonder yet again if they pay SDG&E anything. Or, you’re out for a walk and see that trim, shipshape house you’ve always admired now sports the increasingly fashionable blue/black panels. You put on a brave face, but it’s starting to eat at you: panel envy. The good news is that it’s nothing to be ashamed of and you’re far from alone. Pull up a seat, lie back, and let’s talk. Sure, you know all the valiant reasons for putting panels on your roof: a heroic reduction in greenhouse gas emissi...

Emmy Nominee Michael Kelly on Stopping Self-Doubt, Auditions, and Paying It Forward

Emmy Nominee Michael Kelly on Stopping Self-Doubt, Auditions, and Paying It Forward" /> Photo Source: Matt Doyle It took Michael Kelly seven years before he managed to earn a living as an actor. He was 30 years old. And even then, he didn’t quit his part-time job. It would take a decade more for him to land the role that changed his career. As the laconic Doug Stamper on Netflix’s “House of Cards,” Kelly has proven himself to be the show’s secret weapon, embodying the cruelty of politics that the Kevin Spacey–starring drama so perfectly captures. That belated breakout role , which has earned him an Emmy nomination three years running in the supporting actor in a drama category , has opened plenty of opportunities. But it hasn’t changed the strong work ethic and pragmatic approach that has characterized this working actor’s decades-spanning career. Sharing appetizers mere blocks away from where he’d worked (with a flexible schedule) at a small consignment shop for high-en...
