Whether you've had a long week full of challenges, or your week sped by swimmingly, the idea is to give you something fun/inspiring/interesting/hillarious to kick off your weekend. In any case, this will be something you can check out online and share with friends if you like. I encourage you to leave comments or send us an email (</span><a href="mailto:info@projectdome.ca"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">info@projectdome.ca</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">) if you have comments or suggestions to share. I will try to have one every week for you, so your feedback would be very helpful!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So without further ado, our first ever Fun Friday post...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Check out:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">+ </span><a href="http://damnyouautocorrect.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">http://damnyouautocorrect.com/</span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Where you'll find:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hillarious and unfortunate text messages courtesey of iPhone autocorrect. If you have an iPhone, you've likely had an experience or two like this yourself. If not, read enough of them and you'll catch on fast.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Tips:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">- Prepare yourself for some foul language.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">- Do not attempt to eat or drink anything while reading these or listening to anyone read them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">- If you aren't struggling to control your laughter after reading through a handful of these, try reading them out loud to a friend using your left and right index fingers like puppets to indicate the two sides of the exchange... So worth it!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We joined Twitter in April 2010. On December 15 I blogged that we had just hit 100 followers. Less than one month later that number has more than doubled. I don't know how this happened. Granted I have been making a concerted effort to follow more tweeps in the last couple of weeks, but at least half of these new followers found us before I found them. This. Seems. Crazy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I just needed to marvel at that for a moment.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Have you experienced something like that - like, marvelled at the connectivity of social media? What's the most "Holy crow!" kind of moment you've had?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Bonkers,</span><br />

Granted it doesn't exactly deal with interior design, but inspiration comes from everywhere, and I think this whole sequence is just breathtaking.</span><br />

I have been planning to blog the wonderful photos taken by Jugana of BlackBelo at the Kimberley Seldon Business of Design Vancouver Book Launch two Fridays ago, but I have not had the chance. I still plan to do this today or tomorrow (fingers crossed), but for now I'll leave you with this:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">I couldn't sleep last night because I was fantasizing about purchasing my rented condo and renovating it. Dreams of a custom window seat, hardwood-looking-ceramic tile, a new walk in closet, and more kept swirling around in my head. Along with those dreams a vision persisted; I could not get the sofa we saw at IDS West from 18 Karat out of my head.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">By mid-afternoon, it was time for a <strong>brain treat</strong> with a talk by Karim Rashid about the world of design being shaped by new social behaviours/languages/materials/technologies/needs/desires...</span><br />
<br />
<div align="center"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtVG0S6BR6F2Khcx7O361kmPqDmiphYhSQZvAwcaZd0pYg_sMnV70RO6wnNiLcJM9BTTwuMdkI5OOhwioaKcuvrhCjWX5p_quGcu6wh17pXizGV08dZrjHfcyBwSPvB8VnSpuC9aeHphYf/s1600/talk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtVG0S6BR6F2Khcx7O361kmPqDmiphYhSQZvAwcaZd0pYg_sMnV70RO6wnNiLcJM9BTTwuMdkI5OOhwioaKcuvrhCjWX5p_quGcu6wh17pXizGV08dZrjHfcyBwSPvB8VnSpuC9aeHphYf/s400/talk.jpg" width="167" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">His talk was interesting and thought provoking. It sounds like he lives in a beautiful and frustrating world, and I'd be scared to work for him. Even so, I really enjoyed listening to him.

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I</span> also attended Sarah Richardson's talk in the evening. It was fun and was very interesting to hear a bit about her journey so far as a designer. The advice she had to give was pretty much at odds to what we'd learned from Kimberley Seldon's Business of Design seminar series. That particular aspect of her talk definitely provided some food for thought.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">All in all it was a fantastic experience. The new Convention Centre is a terrific venue. The number and quality of booths was pitch-perfect. The seminars and talks offered covered a range of topics. We will absolutely plan to attend again next year.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

They are characterised by their "box-like" structure, low-pitched roofs, balconies across the front of the house, and brick or stone finishes on the ground-floor level of the facade with stucco elsewhere. Vancouver Specials have similar floor plans with the main living quarters on the upper floor and secondary bedrooms on the bottom, making them ideal for secondary suites. These homes were favoured by new Canadians, often from Hong Kong and Italy, for their spaciousness and were often a first house purchase.</span></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkPLbX13ErX5GfYYQA12IOCgYjDnu6cc_tqMV06-lzEvEj9zx5r7gn-ha1HUg8zojErvvQ637obEpEgD-dhTsZsXv8VPSXonGe_kxMhjcOHHpr1H1atDLSLiUFUAm0FR5ZzqlUZ6qLGHA8/s1600/wiki_vanspecial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkPLbX13ErX5GfYYQA12IOCgYjDnu6cc_tqMV06-lzEvEj9zx5r7gn-ha1HUg8zojErvvQ637obEpEgD-dhTsZsXv8VPSXonGe_kxMhjcOHHpr1H1atDLSLiUFUAm0FR5ZzqlUZ6qLGHA8/s320/wiki_vanspecial.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">They are designed to work with Vancouver’s density and smaller-than-average lot sizes. The basic design is a series of squares, shifted around to provide multiple configurations within the same envelope. Nowadays people are continually modifying these basic floor plans and boxy exteriors in an effort to add a stroke of individuality to the module.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">The tour this year included four houses. All were originally built between 1968 and 1973 in East Vancouver and all have since been renovated to some extent.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">I attended this year’s Vancouver Special Self-Guided Tour with local interior decorator Lori Steeves. She made the astute observation that it seems – because of the very flexible interior plan – the largest struggle with Vancouver Specials is to create interest on the exterior. Last year, the Vancouver Heritage Foundation featured a particularly successful West-Coasty-style-reno’d Special on the post cards advertising the Tour.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Two of the houses on the tour this year made strides towards distinguishing their exteriors from other Specials. We did the tour in reverse order, so those were saved for last.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">The tour did have its good points. The four examples used were effective in illustrating how flexible the floor plan of a Special can be with each house’s interior having been modified into different configurations. They showed how the spaces can be converted to serve different functions with one divided into two suites, one split into residential-plus-business spaces, one being used as a transitional home run by a local charitable foundation, and the last housing a single family with minimalist tastes. So, overall, the selection of these particular properties to be included on the tour was handled well.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Unfortunately, the positives end there.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">I think the biggest problem with this Tour lay in the branding: I am not sure what was being sold, exactly. This was billed as a heritage tour. But the volunteers seemed to be trying to sell us on the changes that had been made – like they were advocating for the work done to redesign the properties. We saw too many examples of shoddy workmanship and poor planning to buy that tonic.</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">In the end we left feeling under whelmed and a tad confused. There was a limited amount of information provided on aspects of the homes that most intrigued us as designers. Without an un-touched example (via a house on the tour or just a floor plan included with the brochure) to refer to, it was left to our imaginations to interpret the actual changes made to these houses. And with the near-constant inundation of tid-bit information from the volunteers it was difficult to focus on one’s own reasons for attending the Tour in the first place.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">I’m just glad we did the tour in reverse. Had we started at the first house and moved forward, I know I would have been expecting a lot more from the subsequent specimens. Not all renovations are made equal, and I have no idea why the VHF would want to pretend they were. I understand that the people who opened their homes to us volunteered their properties, and we should respect that and feel grateful for the opportunity. But doesn’t that very act of volunteering mean you are opening your house up for scrutiny?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">I’m not suggesting that the VHF should have been running an in depth analysis on the homes to debate the validity of the changes made. In fact, this is the opposite approach I think should have been taken. The “Isn’t it fantastic?!!” attitude turned this from a study of made-over post-mid-century architecture into one big real estate pitch. I submit that this pretense established by the volunteers – that all the changes were positive ones – skewed the “heritage” angle almost beyond recognition. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Would I do it again? Definitely. But then, I’m an optimist. I’ll go in next year with a much greater level of skepticism and with a conservative hope that we will be pleasantly surprised. One thing to keep in mind is that this tour is young. Honestly, given time and some guidance, it could be a huge success. For this year’s effort, however, I have to give the Vancouver Heritage Foundation a 6 out of 10.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">In writing this review I had debated with myself about whether to take the approach of critiquing the actual renovations themselves. But with the scarcity of cold hard facts provided about the renovations combined with the fact that there was no photography allowed on the properties, it seemed a natural fit to discuss the presentation instead.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Better luck next year…</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Did you attend the Tour this year? Last year? What were your thoughts?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">If you didn’t go, what would make you want to?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">If you don’t live in or visit Vancouver regularly, do you have a version of this where you are? How is that handled?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">I think these kinds of tours are a terrific idea in principle, and I LOVE seeing inside spaces I otherwise would never gain access to. Here’s hoping for a pleasant surprise next year…</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">‘Til next time,</span><br />

In the meantime, check out this great news:</span><br />

So far, that post is a complete lemon. I want to be able to take the time to really give it some thought. And I haven't had time yet. Being busy with your business is great - no complaints here - but it means we haven't had as much time for Twitter, blogging, and working on our forthcoming website.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Even so, I did happen across a tweet from @SterlingSurface that caught my eye: A Facebook album detailing the process of creating custom fit Corian plinths. Definitely worth checking out...</span><br />
<br />

There is a lot on the Dome plate. It's all good stuff, but it's a lot.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">This means little time for blogging. So I'm going to post a photo pulled via Layers and Layers' blog from the new Dennis Basso collection. Because it's beautiful, and because it's the one I'd select from this shimmery collection...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">I can just see a party filled with such beauties spilling into a kitchen and onto a covered patio. This one in particular requires a golden glass of sparkling prosecco in hand, carefully making a few choice pulls from the rustic-but-modern reclaimed lumber appies table, then leaning gracefully against a sculpted chair back looking fabulous in the middle of the whole glamourous, low-lit-and-twinkling event.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Enjoy. And be sure to follow the link below to see what inspired Layers to post about the collection.</span><br />
