Art student’s car vanishing act

May 4th, 2009 No comments

A design student made a battered old Skoda “disappear” by painting it to merge with the surrounding car park.

Sara Watson, who is studying drawing at the University of Central Lancashire Uclan, took three weeks to transform the car’s appearance.

She created the illusion in the car park outside her studio at Uclan’s Hanover Building in Preston.

Renovation Realities : The Vitale Job : DIY Network

April 28th, 2009 1 comment

Here is the show detail about one of my colleague’s makeover to his deck recently which aired on DIY.  Guys, its worth watching :)

From DIY…

Geff and Tiina Vitale have a home just down the road from the Jersey Shore. They have an old deck attached to their house and they want to try to salvage as much as possible. Also, the Vitales would like to rework the deck in the dead of winter, so they can enjoy the renovated deck in the Spring and Summer. Geffs idea is to detach the deck from the house, knock out every-other plank, save the remaining ones, but add new wood to create a sturdier, bigger deck. Geff and Tiina have a newborn, so Tiinas limited with the amount of work she can contribute, so Geff recruits his best friend, Jay. Jay however, is the last one to know that hes in it for the long run. Aside from the deck being a bit of a bear to restructure, below freezing temperatures only add to the difficulty of the job. This is one show that truly tests friendship during the renovation process.
