Whether you're looking for practical and family friendly, or innovative design sophistication, think about where your tapware will go too.
Generally speaking, most of the tapware sits below the benchtop. With just the rim of the tapware sitting on top. The rim can either be very slim or a bit chunkier like the one pictured, depending on the style you choose aswell for your bathroom ideas.
Kohler designed in the United States. Come see kohler tapware in store. As the name suggests, a vessel tapware like the Kohler Avid is basically like a large bowl, so they are a great choice if you like a deep tapware that you can hold plenty of water in.Hence it's tough when you can't avid the tap to rinse off the toothpaste threatening to drip onto your chest.
CONS: Due to the height of vessel tapware and the way in which they sit above the bench, careful planning of the bench height. And of the height of the cabinets below too, is required to ensure that the tapware doesn't end up being too high. And uncomfortable for you to use. Hence this often leads to less storage space under the bench. Cleaning around the base and back of the Kohler Avid tapware can also be a bit tricky too.
With this style of tapware, the tapware itself is actually moulded as part of the benchtop. They can be made from various materials such as porcelain or acrylic. The main advantage of the Kohler Avid is that it's so easy to clean. Therefore there are no ridges or joins so it's very streamlined and a great choice for busy family bathrooms.
These all-in-one tops like the Kohler Avid are usually designed so the benchtop gradually slopes down and inwards to create a tapware in the middle. This can lead to having less flat bench space to put things. On than what you would have had if you opted for a top-mount tapware sitting on top of a benchtop, for example.
PROS: Unlike most other Kohler Avid tapware that have little or none of the tapware exposed above the bench, vessel tapware demand attention and are a great way of creating a statement in your bathroom.
If your bathroom or ensuite has limited space you might consider the Kohler Avid, but if you would still like some vanity cabinets below your tapware for storage. Then a semi-recessed tapware might be the solution you need. There are also clever ways to create storage space in the bathroom. Maybe a hidden cabinets behind a mirror for example.
PROS: A Kohler Avid semi-recessed tapware sits proud at the front of cabinets, and the benchtop that it sits on, allowing you to have much shallower cabinets therefore maybe even as shallow as 300mm, depending on the tapware you choose. But we all like deeper cabinets these days.
This can free up valuable space on your floor too. It also keeps a lot of the bench space free for your cosmetics and products with the Kohler Avid. Much like a pedestal tapware, they are a good option for young children and people with limited mobility too. As you can get closer to the tapware to avid the tap without the obstruction of a benchtop and cabinets.

Top Democrats offer Biden cover on Afghan troop withdrawal

Two powerful Senate chairmen are questioning plans to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by May 1, providing potential cover for President Biden to change his mind as he faces a rapidly approaching deadline.
Why it matters: The war is America's longest and most costly. Former President Trump negotiated a departure timetable with the Taliban, and his successor has indicated he's ready to honor that commitment.
The unstable environment on the ground, as well as the politics of making such a bold move, have put increasing pressure on Biden as the clock winds down.
Driving the news: Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said last week that Biden may have to reconsider the deadline. He told reporters he's concerned about "the viability" of the peace process in Afghanistan.
Menendez drove home his hesitancy to Axios on Wednesday.
"We have to look at the realities of what's happening in Afghanistan. It seems to me the Taliban is not meeting its obligations. After so many (American) lives and national treasure, we need to make sure that when we leave, we leave in a way that can provide stability."
Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), chair of the Armed Services Committee and an Army veteran, has gone even further: He said Biden should not withdraw all forces and is worried having no presence in the region could give way to further terrorist attacks.
"I would expect some extension," Reed ultimately said of the timeframe.
But, but, but: Beyond the chairmen's unity, congressional Democrats are all over the map.
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), a Navy veteran who served in the region for several years, told Axios, "May 1 is pretty quick."
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), an important swing-state lawmaker, said: "Anytime we have invested that much blood and treasure in an area that has no more of an outcome or stabilization, then you have to reevaluate. But what happens if you do leave at this point in time?"
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a key figure on the progressive left, told Axios that Biden needs to get out now: "There will always be a reason to delay, but President Biden is committed to meeting this deadline. I support him in that."
The latest: The Biden administration has proposed plans for an interim, power-sharing agreement between the Taliban and Afghan leaders before May 1. It would be supported by neighboring countries and the United Nations.
The Washington Post's David Ignatius recently outlined the administration's next steps to obtain this regional and international buy-in.
Between the lines: Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), one of Biden's closest allies in Congress, told Axios, "This is weighing very heavily" on the president. "He's having a hard time."
Tearing up, Coons recalled the two attending funerals for soldiers from their home state who had been killed in Afghanistan.
"I don't think people should make these decisions casually; I think it shows his character that is wrestling with this," Coons added. "That's Joey. He lives in these spaces."
The bottom line: Biden is well-advised on foreign affairs by a veteran national security team, and keeps his own counsel after many visits to the region and decades on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Observers also can't discount his personal connection to the military: His late son, Beau, served in the Army — a personal connection those close to the president say factors into such consequential decisions.

Violent con enters court under heavy guard
Heavily protected guards lead rapist Che Sosa into Suffolk Superior Court as just selection began on his latest rape trial.
By Marie Szaniszlo | Boston Herald
PUBLISHED: March 1, 2008 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: November 17, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
A small battalion of officers dressed in helmets with face shields hustled a notorious prisoner into Suffolk Superior Court yesterday, one year after he used a homemade knife to stab his defense lawyer while he was on trial for rape.
"Get my good side!" Che Sosa shouted at a photographer along the way.
"I can't recall another defendant with so imposing an entourage," Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Suffok District Attorney's Office, said of the team that escorted Sosa into a courtroom for jury selection in his latest rape trial.
Authorities are taking unprecedented security measures to avoid a repeat of last year's attack, which sent Sosa's attorney to the hospital with injuries to the face and shoulder during jury selection in his previous rape trial.
That trial led to his conviction and a sentence of 30 to 40 years for beating and raping a Quincy woman for several hours in 2001.
Yesterday, Sosa, 38, showed up in a prison jumpsuit and shackles to face charges in the 1995 rape of a woman in Jamaica Plain.
His new attorney, Joseph Krowski, said Sosa wore his prison clothes instead of a suit because a special security device he was wearing made it impossible for him to use a bathroom, and his prison clothes could be laundered more quickly than a suit.
In 2006, Sosa lured two guards into his cell at MCI-Walpole, complaining of a stomachache, and attacked them with a piece of fence. One guard was stabbed repeatedly in the stomach, the second slashed in the face.
Eight years after the 1995 rape, Sosa was identified as a suspect when his DNA matched a sample that investigators had recovered from the scene and stored in hopes of identifying the perpetrator.
Opening arguments are expected Monday.

Un théâtre est un bâtiment abritant une ou plusieurs salles de spectacle dans lesquelles se donnent des représentations d'œuvres dramatiques, lyriques, chorégraphiques, musicales, etc.

Étymologie
Le mot « théâtre » vient du grec θέατρον, theatron, de théaô, « voir », qui désignait les gradins, l'endroit d'où les spectateurs pouvaient voir.

Le théâtre antique

Le théâtre grec

L'ensemble du bâtiment théâtral grec comportait, outre l'hémicycle pour le public (le Theatron) :
– les parodos, chemin entre le theatron et le proskenion pour le passage du chœur et d'une partie des acteurs ;
– la thymélée, autel de Dionysos ;
– l'orchestre (orchestra), aire de jeu de 20 m de diamètre ;
– le proscénium (proskénion) où jouaient également les comédiens ;
– la scène (skénè) qui servait de coulisses et à entreposer les éléments de décors.

Théâtre élisabéthain

Construit sur le modèle des auberges, le théâtre élisabéthain est une construction en rond et en bois (« wooden O » dit Shakespeare ), la scène et les places assises sont protégées par un toit, tandis que le parterre est à ciel ouvert.

L'acteur joue à la fois sur le balcon qui se trouve au-dessus de la scène et où se trouvent les musiciens (cette galerie peut symboliser un rempart, une tour, ou le célèbre balcon de Roméo et Juliette), la scène avancée permet à l'acteur d'établir un lien direct avec le public qui l'entoure de trois côtés : la proximité fait que l'action dramatique se déroule presque au milieu des spectateurs.

L'accès était ouvert à tous, mais les places étaient différentes selon la catégorie sociale du spectateur : les plus riches avaient des places assises, à l'abri et situées légèrement en hauteur ; les plus pauvres se trouvaient debout au parterre exposés aux intempéries, mais au plus près de la scène ; les Lords avaient leurs loges à côté des musiciens, ils assistaient donc au spectacle en voyant plutôt les acteurs de dos mais étaient eux-mêmes vus de tout le reste du public.

Théâtre espagnol

Les théâtres du Siècle d'or espagnol, appelés corrales de comedias, ressemblent aux théâtres élisabéthains, de par leur construction, leur organisation et leur disposition scénique.

Le corral de comedias est aménagé dans l'espace clos, rectangulaire et à ciel ouvert de la cour centrale d'un groupe de maisons. La scène est disposée à une extrémité ; des loges et des galeries sur plusieurs étages occupent les trois autres côtés. La scène et les galeries sont protégées par un toit en surplomb. La cour centrale, ou patio, forme un parterre à ciel ouvert.

Le placement des spectateurs dépendait de leur position sociale, mais aussi de leur sexe. Les hommes du peuple se tenaient debout dans le patio. Les femmes devaient s'asseoir dans la cazuela, une sorte de loge en hauteur, face à la scène. Les fenêtres grillagées et les balcons en étage des édifices attenants servaient de loges réservées aux familles les plus riches. Des sièges en gradins disposés le long des murs, sous ces loges, procuraient des places de catégorie intermédiaire.

Théâtre à l'italienne

C'est un bâtiment entièrement couvert dont le prototype est le teatro olimpico de Vicence, en Italie, bâti d'après les plans d'Andrea Palladio en 1580 et inauguré en 1585. Il s'est diffusé avec celui de Sabbioneta puis dans de grandes salles des palais princiers, comme le théâtre Farnèse, inauguré à Parme en 1619, pour des représentations privées, puis dans des bâtiments spécialement conçus pour être ouverts à un public issu de la bonne société et dont les places étaient payantes. C'est en plein centre de Venise qu'est apparu le premier théâtre de ce genre : le Teatro San Cassiano, édifié en 1637 puis démoli en 1812. Il fut un exemple rapidement suivi dans toutes les villes d'Italie puis de l'Europe entière.

Il diffère des gigantesques structures antiques par ses dimensions plus modestes permettant au public de percevoir bien plus en finesse le jeu des artistes et l'interprétation des œuvres musicales. Il applique un principe encore en usage de nos jours : des spectateurs assis face à la scène et ses décors.

Classiquement, la salle est structurée en plusieurs étages/balcons sur un plan ayant varié de forme entre le -U- et l'ovale tronqué qui délimitent architecturalement la largeur d'ouverture de la scène.

La scène à l'italienne est typiquement surélevée par rapport à la salle. La scène est aussi le centre d'un vaste volume en grande partie invisible du public : la « cage de scène », où sont aménagés différents espaces techniques recevant une  machinerie complexe permettant de produire des effets spéciaux ou décoratifs variés pour la mise en scène ou présentation adaptée, organisée pour chaque type d'œuvre ou genre de spectacle.

Sur la scène à l'italienne, le décor est conçu comme un tableau mis en relief par des plans successifs selon les lois de la perspective définies et appliquées par des scénographes tels que Sebastiano Serlio, Nicola Sabbattini, Francesco Galli da Bibiena, ce dernier étant le concepteur du point de fuite en oblique. Le plancher de scène avec une pente moyenne de 2 % ( par mètre) à 5 % de la face vers le mur du lointain.

Ce genre de bâtiment est toujours doté d'une ou plusieurs salles pouvant recevoir les spectateurs avant les représentations et pendant les entractes du spectacle : vestibule, foyers du public, etc.

Le théâtre asiatique

Théâtre japonais

La scène du théâtre nô procède du dispositif chinois : un quadrilatère à peu près nu (excepté le kagami-ita, peinture d'un pin au fond de la scène) ouvert sur trois côtés entre les pilastres de cèdre qui en marquent les angles. Le mur à droite de la scène est appelé kagami-ita, tableau-miroir. Une petite porte y est ménagée pour permettre l'entrée des musiciens et du chœur. La scène, surélevée, est toujours surmontée d'un toit, même en intérieur, et entourée au niveau du sol de gravier blanc dans lequel sont plantés de petits pins au pied des piliers. Sous la scène se trouve un système de jarre de céramique amplifiant les sons lors des danses. Les détails de ce système sont l'apanage des familles de constructeurs de scènes de nô.

L'accès à la scène se fait pour les acteurs par le hashigakari, passerelle étroite à gauche de la scène, dispositif adapté ensuite au kabuki en Chemin des fleurs (hanamichi). Considéré comme partie intégrante de la scène, ce chemin est fermé côté coulisses par un rideau à cinq couleurs. Le rythme et la vitesse d'ouverture de ce rideau donne au public des indications sur l'ambiance de la scène. La longueur du hashigakari impose des entrées spectaculaires. Cet élément ainsi que les propriétés de résonance de la scène obligent les acteurs à utiliser un pas glissé particulier, sans choc des pieds sur le sol et les hanches très basses.

Du fait de la large ouverture de la scène, le public est disposé pratiquement sur trois côtés. De ce fait, l'acteur doit prêter une attention particulière à son placement. Les masques limitant sévèrement son champ de vision, l'acteur utilise le pilier avant gauche de la scène pour se positionner.

Video: Train Struck by Lightning in Japan
A Limited Express train operated by Odakyu Railways which was traveling from Shinjuku to Machida in Japan was struck by lightning as it crossed a bridge spanning the Tamagawa River.
After watching the video below, it is no surprise that a portion of a car on the ten-car train was scorched — but you might be amazed that no one was injured:
FlyerTalk members provide the translation to English of what was said on the video in Japanese, as well as additional details pertaining to this incident.

On the main page it says…
"Watch as a Limited Express train traveling from Shinjuku to Machida in Japan is struck by lightning as it crosses a bridge spanning the Tamagawa River. Amazingly enough, no one was injured."
What's amazing about that?
We learned how to prevent lightning from routinely burning down our churches and barns hundreds of years ago, yet we're still shocked when it doesn't destroy our planes and trains. I guess the truly amazing part is how little we care to learn about the world around us. Who would have guessed the "information age" would revolve almost entirely around random updates on things like cats, clothes, and channel surfing. I sure didn't see that coming.

'You're In My Headphones' is the product of tough times turned around, and sees Lupa J delighting in the relief and excitement of shaking free – "I'm counting up the days without the shame / hoping that you'll notice my new name". Using the 90s-era pop house tool kit, YIMH conjures the same electrifying sense of possibility that was so characteristic of house production during that period. Piano chords, airy synths, effortless vocals and plenty of space – but added to this is a real songwriter's sensibility. In its unexpected chordal turns and multi-bar melodic phrasing YIMH displays a subtle Beck-style inventiveness that gives it a real edge.
YIMH is taken from her forthcoming debut album "Swallow Me Whole" and with just two releases, Lupa J has shown a multi-dimensionality to her songwriting that's keeping us on edge for that drop.
You can listen to Lupa J's interview with Caitlin Medcalf from earlier this year, and check out the vid for 'Drift' below.
The ex-Little May lead guitarist Annie Hamilton continues to impress with her formidable follow up to her first single 'Fade'.
The seed for new single Starman was planted when David Bowie's death triggered a profound confrontation with mental illness for Julia Wylie.

Got the second part of "Heartbreaker" online. Took a bit longer than planned. What do you think of the gender issue it raises?

Having watched that documentary, do you think Bob Dylan is mildly autistic?
In essence, I'm chewing on Asperger's Syndrone. My daughter has been diagnosed as having this (though personally, and privately, I kinda mistrust these sort of boxes and prefer private personality study). I suspect, however, that if a box could be laid my way? I may also fall somewhat into Aspergers.
Looking at that film, I could see Bob was entirely comfortable communicating via the channel his autism enthused him toward. But he seemed to embrace messages from the outside world only if he could apply them to his autistic world. He seemed to understand why the words were put into his songs and poetry, but he did not see any need to explain why he put them there.
Beyond the channel of his autism, I do not think he even KNEW why he put those words there.
I found the way to my daughter's mind was through the toy cars that she loved. She just loves cars - and sees them as people in a way more real than people. In fact, the way in which I introduced the outside world to her was by relating it to the world she and I built with her toy cars.
If she were ever to become famous as a singer (or whatever) and was faced by the kind of press meetings (and questions) that Bob uncomfortably faced, I think she would re-act with the same genuine confusion over trying to answer questions. Because it seemed Bob could not make the connection that the issues aroused by the questions had anything to do with his songs and the playing of music. He wrote a song and moved on, seeing little need to explain meanings.... possibly because he couldn't. Everything he had wanted to say was in the song and belonged harmonically within the channelled world his autism accepted.
Neither his modern day comments, nor his press and radio responses from the 60's, seemed contrived in any shape or form. He seemed genuinely confused by what he was being asked.
The years have given him an improved form of expression outside of his autistic world.
I share his view on art and creativity, in that spending months trying to perfect a song and package it neatly is anathema. Could have written a few songs in that time - and some of these would excite a greater personal interest. All of the transformations of Bob over the years in his style, genre and presentation fitted neatly into his own imagined world. He could not explain how they would fit into other people's worlds.
He did not see there was a reason to do this anyway.
He looked at the outside world with his art - and took a 'photograph' of it. But he could not easily explain why there was a bird in the picture flying in the distance, even though he was aware of it as he took the photograph. He could see where it fitted in the picture and the soul within recognised its crucial relevance to the picture as a whole. For him, that was enough.
He could not articulate the relevance of that bird to those outside his world - or even (possibly) to those inside his world.
1) Impaired reciprocal social interaction relative to developmental level.
3) Abnormally intense and narrow interests.

Hi Mead! My personal idea about black holes was formulated in my journal, when I wrote about time lines. Filling flesh onto those musings, I suggest that black holes are light travelling in an opposing direction from us. Given the vast distances in the universe, imagine shining a torch into it and seeing light streaming from it. If you switch off the torch, the light previously emited will continue to travel. Once it progresses beyond the distance of the speed of light it will no longer be visible to the torch bearer. But the particles of light will continue their journey. Such an event would make it appear as though light is being swallowed and can't escape. A black hole could represent the light from a sun or a galaxy that is moving in an opposing direction from us. It could be our sun or galaxy.
As for hell? The word comes from the German and it means light. Hell is spoken of as a fiery domain. It seems the most tormenting and destructive position for a soul to be is within the fusing and turmoil of a sun. It could be purgatory or annihilation - or a cleansing process in line with higher ascension.
whizzing around the universe. What a marvelous experience that would be.

I love A Good Quiz. I don't mean The Spelling or Math Variety. I mean, the type of Quiz you find in Cosmo. Or Glamour Magazine. "Is He The One?" is a Hot Quiz Topic. "Are you A Flirt?" is Another. And I love checking How I Score! And then, you know how once you figure out that you get Two Points every time you answer "a" and if you "Answered Mostly 'a'?" it means you will are Most Like Monica On Friends, so you start answering "b" because that is only worth One Point and you really think you are Most Like Rachel On Friends and whomever made up This Stupid Quiz has you sized up All Wrong and doesn't Truly Know Their Friends On Friends but you still think The Quizmaster is Some Sort Of Savvy Genius for even Thinking Up The Amazing Friends On Friends Quiz Topic In The First Place? I like That Part, too! I like to take A Variety Of Quizzes every time I go to get My Nails Done or I have A Dentist Appointment, in fact.
The other day, I signed on to My AOL Account and saw on the front page, a listing for The Star Jones Reynolds Love Quiz! Ooooh! Never one to Turn Down A Love Quiz, even if it is Named For The Hideous Star Jones Reynolds, I clicked on The Link. Soon, I was transported to A Glamorous Interactive Webpage, wherein A Film Of Star Jones Reynolds's Overly Made-Up Head told me that The Quiz I Was About To Take would determine How Much I Knew About Love and Lasting Relationships! I was to Answer Honestly in order to obtain The Most Accurate Results. "This Quiz will be A Cinch!" I thought Confidentially. "I sure hope I don't Destroy The Star Jones Reynolds Love Quiz Grading Curve!"
And so, I began to Take The Star Jones Reynolds Love Quiz. I am Proud To Announce, I was Answering Every Single Question Correctly!
A Man Is Two Hours Late For His Date And Doesn't Call?
The Gentleman You Are Dating Says He Is Not Sure If He Is Ready To Get Serious With You And You Are In Your Mid To Late Thirties?
Um, a) Send him packing?
Your Boyfriend Of One Month Confesses He Is Married? What Do You Do?
Say, c) Ta-Ta To You?
This Quiz was A Total Breeze!!
And then I got Some Crazy Questions involving Pre-Nuptial Agreements, Pilates, and Weight Reduction Surgery. I got those All Wrong. Apparently, Star Jones Reynolds is Pro Pilates and Pre-Nups. I never really found out where she Stood On Weight Reduction Surgery because I Got Really Angry with The Film Of Star Jones Reynolds Overly Made-Up Head Chastising Me For Not Knowing The Right Answers. She seemed Pretty P.O.'d, in fact. I feared she would Blow My Computer Up. I went to My Space for Solace.
Of course, I would love to learn what makes Star Jones Reynolds think she is Some Sort of Expert on Love and Lasting Relationships. She has been married, what? All of One Year? One would be better off Accepting Marriage Advice from Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson. To Make Matters Worse, now every time I do something Foolish in A Relationship, I am going to see Star Jones Reynolds's Disappointed And Overly Made-Up Film Head Frowning At Me, Scowling in My Mind.
But, at least that beats The Old Image of Oprah Talking about Her Stupid Aha Moments. Unfortunately, that one was a lot more like an Oh, No You Di-in't! Moment every time it Popped Up.

The Vintage Home #17: Partridge Family Interiors
The Partridge Family didn't have near the interesting home as The Brady's, but then their dad wasn't an architect. Plus, they didn't have the money like the Brady's either - no stay-at-home-mom or live-in-maid. It was more of an average home, and perhaps that's what got me to take another look at the Partridge abode.
Because the house didn't have the size or flair of the Brady residence, the scenes nearly always took place in either the kitchen or the living room (in front of the stairs). Sometimes, the camera would venture into the boys' crummy little upstairs room or Mom's elegant boudoir, but it wasn't common.
Of course, this is typical of any sitcom, whether it's Married with Children or All in the Family, there's just one or two main settings and that's it. So, what makes the Partridge residence of San Pueblo so interesting? The decor, of course.
When reading this post, I recommend you use the floor plan I created above. It's not particularly accurate nor is it to scale; however, even I have my limits on how much time I'm going to spend on something like this. I just used a quickie online floor plan creator, but I think it captures the layout pretty well.
Each episode would have the family giving a musical performance at a variety of locales - on top of their bus, in a hotel lounge, or in their garage. The rest of the show was basically the kitchen or the living room. We'll start with the kitchen.
Check the nice seventies palette. Lots of avocado and olive green mixed with brown. I especially enjoy their table setting.
A wider shot. Note the dining room in the back - this led to the adjacent living room. Above Laurie's head are two red things that I thought were fire extinguishers, but are actually hanging oven mits. The mits are in front of the fridge. Let's have a look behind Laurie and Keith...
A big ass school bell (a tad distracting for a TV show, don't you think?).
Another view of the inexplicable school bell.
A season earlier and not much is different. There's one less oven mit and no phone on the wall. Plus we have a different actor for Chris Partridge. According to Danny Bonaducci, the original Chris was a freaking nutcase and actually bit David Cassidy. His mom was also an unprofessional bitch.... but I digress.
Seasons 1-3 all had the olive dishes. Very little change from seasons 2-3. If you look close, you'll see the phone is different, but otherwise it remains pretty constant.
But what's that wooden square in front of the oven? Some sort of low cutting board island?
Pretty odd looking piece of furniture.
The final season (season 4) we see a new kitchen table and wicker chairs. Plus new wallpaper. You'll also note that the kitchen counter has been extended in a "U" shape with the stove top moved to the new extension. Thus, ends the olive green stove top vent. May it rest in piece.
A closer look at their new oven... try to ignore the new hair styles if you can.
A look into the kitchen - a nice segue to the living area.
That shag stairway was a character unto itself.
If you can avert your eyes from the shagadelic staircase, please take note of the foliage to the left...
This is beyond just a nook with houseplants - this is a veritable jungle habitat. Somewhere inside the flora is a native with a blowgun.
A look to the left, we see a fireplace and nice big window with stereo beneath. Observation after watching all four seasons: Laurie sure spends a lot of time on the couch.
To try to increase ratings (and glom on to the Jackson 5 gravy train) the Partridges brought on little Ricky. God he was horrible. They also brought in a new sofa, which wasn't nearly as offensive.
If you were curious whether the Partridges kept a TV in their living room - here's your answer.
The Partridges + Jodie Foster settle down for dinner.
That's the front door and the jungle area mentioned earlier.
SHIRLEY'S ROOM
Mama Partridge has a nice little fake bedside vineyard.
KEITH, DANNY & CHRIS' ROOM
The boys' room is marked by a slanted ceiling, plus the generic "boy" decor around Chris' bed.
TRACY & LAURIE'S ROOM
On the one hand, it's more realistic, but on the other, it's not near as interesting as most TV bedrooms. The Brady girls definitely have this one beat.
THE PSYCHEDELIC BUS
The Brady's might've had a cooler and bigger place of residence, but one thing they didn't have was a psychedelic bus. Check mate Brady Bunch.

From the kitchen shots you can see that the dining room had one hanging lamp, then none, then a chandelier.
flyingethan December 11, 2013
Judge me if you want to but, my house looks a lot like this. Avocado and all. I wouldn't change it for anything. Well, at least until the appliances die. But even then I would only change the appliances.
That "low cutting board island" is known as a 'butchers block' I believe. Normal for it to be lower than table height.
Did you ever notice that most sitcom sofas, like this one, are almost always located in the interior space of a living room – sometimes right in the middle? In real living rooms they are most often pushed up against a wall.
darat December 19, 2013
I've seen them both ways. I think it depends on the traffic pattern of your living room.Mine has windows and doors everywhere so the only logical place is away from the walls.
Greg VA December 11, 2013
The School Bell in the kitchen is actually a fight, or boxing, bell. Oh I can't believe I'm the first one to point that out...I feel so erudite, what ever that is. At first I was like, aww no miniskirts, no long gawks at SJ who aged so gracefully, then as soon as I saw the green dish ware, I was like, y'know, he has something here. Great Post Gill.
So glad you pointed out the bell! I was all like "school bell? No it isn't".
The Mutt December 11, 2013
Other than bell bottoms and mini skirts, nothing quite says The 70s like Avacado appliances.
Oh yeah, I was going to mention the butcher's block. It's about a foot thick wood and weighs about 8000 pounds. It's too heavy for two people to move, but too small to get more than two people around it. But you can cut meat on it for a couple hundred years.
More than one Brady is "Bradys."
CLM in ND December 11, 2013
I was going to mention the bell looked like a boxing bell, but I just read the post.
Armpit Studios December 11, 2013
I always liked the blue, green, and gold decanters/bottles above the stove. The colors just work well together. The mold green stoneware is pretty bitchen too.
Neal P December 12, 2013
This is a good example of how styles evolved in the 70s. All the avocado and burgundy and harvest gold that we tend to associate with that era was largely in the first half. By the mid-70s, everything was becoming lighter and more muted. Of course, most people couldn't afford to swap out their kitchens after only a few years, so the horrible color scheme haunted many a kitchen well into the 80s.
I'm embarrassed to admit that our kitchen still has the same cabinetry as the Partridge's, except the drawers don't have knobs. Even worse, the kitchen walls are paneled with fake wood. Worser still, our broken dishwasher & range hood are straight out of Maude's house. I just don't have the 30K needed to bring our kitchen into the 21st century. Or even the 1990's.
Yeah, Chris #1 was such a weirdo. He and Tracy both look retarded most of the time.
Check out Laurie's nifty little red, white, & blue shoes!
Oh god, that little Ricky dickwad had the stupidest hair on TV. Ever. Tons worse than Cousin Oliver.
good idea for Interior design.Vintage interiors is so good.
Ron Albanese December 22, 2013
AWESOME! I'm a big fan of the Partridge interior - especially season 4, and it just doesn't get it's due …. until now! And yes, Laurie's and Shirley's rooms smacked of that that generic early '70's set feel (Odd Couple), that did the show no favors. Thanks for trying a layout, too - but no upstairs one?
Paul Duca December 26, 2013
I long felt the family lived on Shirley's share of what the music earned, and the rest was tucked away in trust for college/the future.
mansard peridot December 26, 2013
that "weird" table in the kitchen is called a butcher's block. people that have too much money have themin their kitchens
Can you please tell me who is the girl with the tartan skirt?

LOL, I live in this house. (Not exactly the real location, but an actual Seventies doppelganger for it.) You guys are invited to come out, take photos and interview me if you want to see what it's like to live like the Partridge Family for real!
http://filminsidethat70shouse.blogspot.com/
forever I love to see the family partridge and especially keith, in love with x always the thing amooooo
It may be that form follows function, but I'd swear that living-room set reappeared on either Happy Days or Married with Children, or both. I _recognize_ those stairs, with that landing, and the dining area to stage right.. I dunno, maybe it's just standard. [I'm going to have to check, because I'm getting Third Rock from the Sun echoes also. Surely it can't be some kind of "legacy set" used in show after show…?]
I don't know about re-using interiors, but the exterior of the Partridge house was also used by Corky's family in "Life Goes On" and by Darren and Samantha Stephens' neighbors (The Kravitzes) in "Bewitched."
That being said, the kitchen layout reminds me of the one used by Johnny Depp's family in "Donnie Brasco."
Cindybin February 01, 2014
What's the deal with all the offensive pictures on the sidebar? That is TERRIBLE! Here I am looking for innocent Partridge Family photos, and I come across your site with all these neat pictures of their house, and then I see all these offensive pictures on the side! It makes me not want to come here at all!
In the final season the kitchen where the refrigerator is looks to be extened to have a closet and a refrigerator area.In the first three season only a refrigerator area.
stewie4of5 November 06, 2014
Well, we my partner and I are about to build in the Australian country side and our house which is basically one floor/level of living area is for the most part based on the down stairs of the Partridge Family house the basic difference is facing the wall that ran beside their drive way in the corner beside the fire place we're putting in bi-fold doors windows to really open up the room. Other wise the kitchen with serving hatch , the half walls in the lounge and the jungle will all be retained! Our rooms will probably be bigger than those on the set but hey! we're not in the 70's anymore. I would've loved a double story with the Dutch barn roof but alas with bush fires etc. can't have everything! Besides was more interested in recreating the interior although we will go with the exterior colour theme!
DJ December 30, 2014
That is a great recap of the Partridge Family and their set thanks!
As a kid in the 1970s I watched daily syndicated reruns of both the brady bunch and the partridge family. My parents had split up, mother got custody of us kids and she was a mentally ill, abusive, psychotic monster. As a result I turned towards watching a lot of tv for escape and comfort. Comedic family sitcoms were my preferred favorite.
While I watched both shows, brady bunch had the edge over the partridges for me due to the fact that being raised by a single mother, the single mother angle of the Partridges was a turn off for me. Plus I couldnt have cared less about the music in each and every episode. I watched only for the comedy. The comedic situations.
That said, I loved the homes of the bradys and the partridges. Many was the time that instead of paying attention to what the characters were doing and saying on screen, I'd be looking around them and past them, over their shoulders, so that I could admire their homes. Inside and out.
My own personal home was a run down, old, cockroach infested apartment. With a landlord who froze us every winter. How I wished I could have a home like the bradys or the partridges! Our own private home, with a backyard. With wall to wall carpeting. Having an upstairs part of the house where our bedrooms could be. And a beautiful, big kitchen. Spacious enough to eat in.
Instead, our apartment was one single level. No privacy for our bedroom area. No carpeting. Instead it was bare wooden floors or linoleum. Etc.
How much I loved that shag carpeted staircase in the partridge home! How much I envied their beautiful kitchen! How much I loved the carpeted floors throughout the house. How much I loved that the bedrooms were one floor up. How much I loved how their whole house looked comfy, cozy, warm, and inviting!
While the single mother angle of the show was a turn off for me, I at least admired that their mother was a kind, nice, normal, loving, patient, and completely sane person.

Does anyone know the brand of avocado/olive dinnerware on the kitchen table?
We used to have the same model oven as the light green one shown here, but I've never been able to identify the model except that it was a Magic Chef "Concept Series". We also had a stove with whatever you call that thing above it (it has a light, not sure if that's all it does) which were probably also from Magic Chef and may be the same models as those shown here. Our oven and stove came with our house which was built in 1968.
Hello Anonymous... If you have any thoughts about the stoneware dinner plates, sugar and creamer, as to who they were by... please mention it... Maybe they came from S&H Green Stamps? Or May Company? or some other source/ designer of table ware? Thanks!
Danny and Chris's bedroom was also Tony Nelson's upstairs study in I Dream of Jeannie.
And Keith Partridge had his own room (season one episode where Danny could steal Keith's song through the wall)
Surely Jones November 04, 2015
I originally watched "The Partridge Family" as a child in the 1970s, and have seen most episodes in reruns as an adult. A few observations about Laurie and Tracy's bedroom:
1.) Why are Laurie and Tracy sharing a room? The obvious answer may seem to be that in larger families with only two girls, that's the way it is regardless of what is probably an eight-year age difference.** However, I think this is also meant to show that despite Laurie's feminism and other political activism, she really does have a nurturing side, which comes to fruition when she later becomes involved in a serious relationship with a member of the clergy: yes, there's definitely a pipe organ in her future. . .
**Think of the plot possibilities if Keith and Danny had been roommates!
2.) As a child, I'm fairly certain I thought Laurie and Tracy's faux headboards in Seasons 1-3 were cool, but I must have been influenced by 1970s bad taste. When I see the Partridge girls' original bedroom decor now, the faux headboards and orange wall lamps make me think of a low-budget brothel! (I'm still perplexed by Laurie's strange dressing table, which seems to have been assembled from random elements found at a thrift store or garage sale.) These are oddly mixed with more standard 1970s "Sweet 16" girls' bedroom decor: ruffled window curtains and white wicker. The new yellow headboards in Season 4 are more appropriate for Tracy's age group than the faux headboards, but if I were the first set decorator, I would have painted the girls' main wall a bright 1970s color for contrast and given them white-wicker headboards with swirl designs to match their chair, as these seem appropriate for both children and teens.
3.) Were Laurie and Tracy's bedspreads recycled from the Bates Motel? There may have been one episode (Mr. Lonely?) where they had flamingo-pink bedspreads, but in all other episodes their bedspreads are not only ugly, they do not match the rest of the color scheme and decor, in Season 4 especially. Once again, if I were the set decorator (using white-wicker headboards as previously mentioned), Laurie would have had a psychedelic coverlet and Tracy a calico patchwork quilt, both popular in the 1970s yet emphasizing their age difference.

Maud Sulter
Born, 1960 in Glasgow, Scotland. Died, 2008
Maud Sulter, artist, photographer, poet, and writer was born on 19 September 1960 and died 27 February 2008.
"As a Black Woman - Maud Sulter's first collection of poetry - is an assertion of self, (of being a black woman born and brought up in Scotland, suffering racial isolation and the racism of that upbringing); of womanhood, loves, blackness, Afrikaness, consciousness and celebration. The writing of Afro-Scottish authors is nowadays mainly associated with the work of acclaimed poet, Jackie Kay. However the texts of the other black Scottish pioneer, Maud Sulter are usually relegated to a secondary position, partly due to the fact of [that] author's abandonment of poetry for the plastic arts. In the eighties, when the debate about Scotland's national identity was the main preoccupation for intellectuals, Sulter denounced in her writings the myths about social justice in the country"
"Maud Sulter is a Scots artist, writer, cultural historian and [was for a time] course leader of the Masters programme in Fine Art at Manchester Metropolitan University, Previous exhibitions include[d] African Themes, Victoria and Albert Museum London (1993), Intimate Lives, City Art Centre Edinburgh (1993) and Hysteria, Tate Gallery Liverpool (1991). With Lubaina Himid, Maud Sulter edited the book Passion: Discourses in Blackwomens Creativity and has curated several international exhibitions. (b. Glasgow, 17 Sept 1960), Scottish photographer and writer, of Ghanaian [and Scottish] descent. In 1885 she came to prominence as one of eleven women artists exhibited in The Thin Black Line at the ICA, London, curated by Lubaina Himid. This show marked the first significant breakthrough for contemporary Black and Asian art in a British public gallery. Sulter's subsequent presentations gained her international recognition: she was awarded the British Telecom New Contemporaries Award 1990 and the Momart Fellowship at the Tate Gallery of Liverpool in 1990. She employed a variety of media in her work, including text, photography, sound recordings and performance. A frequent traveler and a prolific writer as well as [an] artist, she focused her activity on a critical reappraisal of received histories and an assertion of Black cultural heritage. Noted works by Sulter included Zabat (1987; London V&A), a series of Cibachrome photographic portraits of contemporary Black artists, musicians and writers, posed as a theatre of ancient muses. In Paris Noir (1987; priv. col.) she created an alternative history of Black citizens of Europe, while Syrcas (exh. 1994; Wrexham Library art Centre) is a set of montages and texts linking the holocausts of African slavery with European persecution of minorities in the 1930s and 1940s."
The above unattributed text (which may be an amalgamation of different parts) was on the Abebooks web site on 10/3/08. The text made mention of Sulter's positions being "related to those of Jackie Kay as to the construction of a dignified identity in a hostile context." The text had Sulter's birth date as 17 September, though the Glasgow Herald's obituary of Sulter had her birth date as 19 September.
For a period of time Maud Sulter worked closely, in a number of ways, with Lubaina Himid. Together they were (as mentioned above) responsible for the only British-produced book dedicated to examining and celebrating the work of Black women artists. The book, Passion: Discourses on Blackwomen's Creativity, was published by Urban Fox Press 1990. Himid and Sulter contributed the essay A Statement from the Elbow Room, Freedom and change: she who writes herstory rewrites history' in the Other Voices section of The Other Story catalogue.
In 2002, Sulter photographed the American-born social commentator, playwright, novelist and critic Bonnie Greer, in the manner of the well-known eighteenth-century painting of an anonymous sitter by Marie-Guillemine Benoit, Portrait d'une négress, 1800. Sulter's version, Portrait d'une Négress (Bonnie Greer) (2002) is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London.
Sulter's work was included in the important exhibition Reading the Image: Poetics of the Black Diaspora. The exhibition was a collaboration between the following galleries in Canada: Thames Art Gallery, Chatham, Ontario; Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery, Halifax, Nova Scotia; The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Oshawa, Ontario; Foreman Art Gallery of Bishop's University, Sherbrooke, Quebec; and Yukon Arts Centre, Whitehorse, Yukon. The exhibition featured work by Deanna Bowen, Christopher Cozier, Michael Fernandes, and Maud Sulter. Her work in the exhibition included the polaroid photographs Les Bijoux I-IX 2002, from her Jeanne Duval | A Melodrama series, first exhibited at National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, 2003.
Peter James Hudson was one of the writers for Reading the Image: Poetics of the Black Diaspora exhibition catalogue. Hudson's text was titled Anti-Localism. In it, he described Les Bijoux, from Sulter's body of work, Jeanne Duval | A Melodrama.
"Maud Sulter's Les Bijoux centres on and is inspired by the figure of Jeanne Duval, a mixed race black woman actor and prostitute who was the long time lover of French poet Charles Baudelaire. For twenry five years during the mid-nineteenth century, Duval and Baudelaire had a tempestuous, on-again, off-again relationship. She is referred to as Baudelaire's muse, though the term seems altogether too polite and simplistic for what transpired between them. Even so, Duval is said to have inspired Baudelaire's richest wrtiting, and she is regarded as the source of the so-called "Black Venus" cycle of Baudelaire's notorious erotic romp, Fleurs du Mal (1857) - a book of poems containing early, textbook cases of exoticized depictions of black women. "Languourous Asia, scorching Africa," Baudelaire writes in La Chevelure, "A whole world distant, vacant, nearly dead, Lives in your depths, o forest of perfume!"
… Sulter deliberately repositions Duval within dominant historical narratibves while critiquing the formalist history of portraiture. But she also creates an intriguing set of exchanges between her self-portraits and baudelaire's poems…"
Elsewhere in the same publication, Rinaldo Walcott (in his essay Salted Cod… : Black Canada and Diasporic Sensibilities) wrote: "Maud Sulter's work most directly confronts the history of art-making. The excavating practice of her photography uncovers and reclaims, but I would argue it also fundamentally repositions black people in artistic practice, and does so as a political project meant to resignify our humanity. This work reworks history, writes history, and paints the sensibilities of diasporan consciousness into being. Sulter's photographs are an elaboration and a refutation of the narrative of black peoples' exclusion from and traumatic experiences of the lively and still-living justifications of transatlantic slavery."
Sulter contributed work to the major exhibition Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the African Body, which was curated by Barbara Thompson, curator of African, Oceanic, and Native American Collections at the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College. Sulter died shortly before the exhibition opened. It was originated by Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire and exhibited there April 1 - August 10, 2008 before touring to venues in Wellesley, Massachusetts and San Diego, California. Sulter's work was reproduced in the substantial catalogue accompanying the exhibition. It was also featured on the catalogue's cover. [Terpsichore, 1989, Dye deconstruction print, Arts Council Collection, London.]
The exhibition also featured contributions by the following artists: Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Renée Cox, Angéle Etoundi Essamba, Lalla Assia Essaydi, Emile Guebehi, Senzeni Marasela, Nandipha Mntambo, Zanele Muholi, Hassan Musa, Wangechi Mutu, Ingrid Mwangi/Robert Hutter - IngridMwangiRobertHutter Collective, Magdalene Odundo, Etiyé Dimma Poulsen, Alison Saar, Joyce J. Scott, Berni Searle, Fazal Sheikh, Malick Sidibé, Penny Siopsis, Sokari Douglas Camp, Kara Walker, Carrie Mae Weems, and Carla Williams.
Surprisingly perhaps, Sulter's death passed relatively unremarked, the most substantial obituary appearing in the Herald, Glasgow, 22 March 2008, a few weeks after her death.
