copypasting my extensive wine headcanons here in case anyone out in the world wants to adopt them

Pink: this is just juice of a plant. Like some soft drinks, there is a small amount of caffeine, but for the most part, it’s basically the same as apple or grape juice. Feminine drink.

Orange: structurally this is identical to kombucha, in that it is a nonalcoholic (or at least so negligibly alcoholic that it doesn’t count) beverage that is made via fermentation. But its cultural place is akin to ginger ale in that it is just a soft drink people drink when not drinking alcohol and that it has a reputation of soothing stomachs. This is the go-to beverage of people of any gender looking to have a sober drink.

Yellow: the default masculine drink. Made from lavis grains, it’s beer. It’s essentially beer. About the same strength as beer, drank from pint glasses, steins, and once Roshar invents cans it will be drank from those as well. Customary beverage to enjoy during duels. Unlike beer from Earth, people very rarely drink this to get any more drunk than a pleasant buzz.

Auburn: traditionally made from fermented simberries, but can be made from any fruit that when fermented ends up with between 10% to 15% abv, this is the default feminine drink. It really functions almost identically to wine on Earth. It is drunk from glasses analogous to Earth wine glasses. There is a large culture of auburn wine snobbery. Though it is concretely a feminine drink, it is not unheard of for men who are a touch effeminate to sneak a glass or two of it.

Red: you’d have to be insane to drink red wine on its own. It is used near exclusively in mixed drinks as the alcohol base to a fun fruity beverage. Mixed often with pink wine, fruit juices of all kinds, and occasionally wild card picks like sow’s milk or Shin creations such as “coffee”, it is there to provide alcohol to women who cannot stand the taste of alcohol.

Sapphire: wines of red strength or stronger are considered liquors, and sapphire wine is the unequivocal Man’s Wine. It is quite strong, but there is still a veneer of drinking it for the flavor. It is made of the same grains as yellow wine, but distilled instead of fermented. Traditionally drunk on the rocks out of what an Earthling might call a whiskey tumbler.

Blue: this stuff is not as strong as violet wine, but still quite strong. Its closest Earth analogue is a strong rum, made out of a sugarcane-like plant that naturally carries fruity undertones. This is the usual alcohol base drunk in mixed drinks by men; a popular drink will have two types of blue wine mixed with a couple flavors of fruit juice for a Vorin-friendly Mai Tai. It can also be drunk out of shot glasses as a party beverage, but this is less common.

Violet: violet wine is a gender neutral beverage, allowed to be drunk by both men and women. This is because the creators of Vorinism understood the necessity of all humans to have a surefire way of getting drunk quickly. It is roughly analogous to 100 proof vodka in both taste and creation, although in rare cases some violets can reach the 130 proof heights of absinthe. It is made from blackthorn berries, which on Roshar can get distilled to death like potatoes can on earth but like i dunno how that's possible i dont know jack shit about plants. sorry. This makes them perfect for creating the strongest liquors out of. “Glasses” of violet wine, drunk at feasts as a power move, are a mixture of violet wine, blackthorn juice, and lots of water. It is traditionally drunk hot, and nobody likes it like that but everybody pretends to. Nine times out of ten, violet wine is drunk out of a shot glass. It is known for tasting bad. Occasionally, it can be found in mixed drinks in the place of red or blue wine.

Uncovered: Glüme - Main Character

Continuing our insights into the creative behind the shortlisted album covers for Best Art Vinyl 2023. Andrea Riba talks us through her work and this evocative cover shot of the avant-pop star Glüme who flippantly calls herself the 'Walmart Marilyn' for her latest album Main Character.

Andrea Riba is a Mexican-Chilean writer, director, producer, and co-founder of Femina Films. The album cover for Main Character was shot on the film set for 'Child Actor' which is the opening track on the album and inspired the short film and music video of the same title produced by Femina Films and Italians Do It Better.

Andrea tells us “It's a surreal film in which Glüme revisits her child self in the 90s. The image was taken after shooting the climax of the film in a preserved 70s dressing room in the outskirts of Hollywood. In this scene, Glüme confronts her mother (played by Riki Lindhome - whose credits include Knives Out, Wednesday) about the loss of her childhood to the demanding world of child acting in Hollywood."

Riba first met Glüme on set for her debut album cover shoot for 'The Internet', although the shoot initially started as a passion project. Andrea explains, “I had a Blue Velvet inspired photoshoot I had been sitting on, and after discovering Glüme through music label Italians Do It Better, I thought she had the perfect cadence for the concept. At the time, the label had already announced the album cover for her debut album The Internet, but when the label saw the photos from our shoot, the plan changed and they landed on one of the images for the album cover and billboards around LA, which was such an exciting surprise.”

The Internet album cover - Glüme 2012

We asked Andrea how the iconic image for the cover of Main Character came about. She told us, “We purposefully scheduled this scene at the end of our 12 hour set day in order for the exhaustion of the day to aid Glüme's performance. After wrapping the scene, I thought of taking film stills to capture Glüme's raw emotions, which were at an all-time high. There was no intention for the image to be the album cover, but the distraught expression captured on Glüme sparked the attention of her label, so they landed on this image as the album cover. There is an interesting contradiction between the title of the album 'Main Character' - someone at the centre of the plot, with an image of a woman tearing and in pure vulnerability.” 

Vinyl scan image for 'Main Character' 2023 by Andrea Riba

We wanted to delve into how the vintage feel of this image was captured so effectively. Andrea tells us, "I wanted to shoot the image on Cinestill 800T because this film captures a beautiful halation and glow around practical lights, that being the vintage tungsten bulbs around the mirrors around the entire dressing room we shot in. There is also a thick grain to the film which provides a sort of surreal veneer between the audience and the world captured, which was meant to reflect Glüme's life as a child actor in the 90's. We also wanted to keep it same world, since her first album 'The Internet' was shot on Cinestill as well."

Riba and Glüme have a close professional and personal relationship which may account for how Andrea was able to capture such a wonderfully raw and personal image of the star. She explains, "Glüme approached me about joining her team as a creative director and this was the beginning of, not only an organic professional collaboration between her and I, but a long term friendship. She is an inspiring human being and we share the same aesthetic interests and love for film, music, and people."

What's your (spoiler light) read on the personalities of Martin and Lucien?

I need it for fic reasons

-Mellowscrolls

ok FIRST OFF let me say that by "spoiler light" i assume you mean you're still in the process of playing their respective quests, to which i insist that you should take everything i (some internet jester) say with a grain of void salts and prioritize finishing the quests and coming to your own conclusions. THAT BEING SAID, i know most RPGs suffer from the fact that they can never truly be as explicit in their worldbuilding and characterization as a less interactive medium like, say, a novel, given the constraints that player interaction and choice will place on the direction and depth of a story, so sometimes a little brainstorming is necessary to fill in the gaps. here's my takes:

i've said before that Martin seems like he's being weighed down and pushed forward by a LOT of guilt and regret. even his sense of obligation to the empire has an edge of self-flagellation to it. he is a hilariously catholic character while also being the closest thing to an agnostic in the tes universe after Else God-Hater-- there's a lot to unpack there. his past is defined by (1) running away, (2) making huge mistakes that ruin lives, and (3) denying himself and his own needs and wants. whether it's as a mage, cultist, priest, or emperor, his life is defined by being pushed into/out of certain identities by outside forces and losing parts of himself in each stage. he does a lot of running away and hiding in his life, literal and metaphorical.

and what's worse is he's overwhelmingly referred to by other characters AS his titles in the game: priest and emperor. he's never Martin; he's either Brother Martin, denying himself a personal identity and considering himself to be just another expendable priest, or Emperor Martin Septim, denied a personal identity by others and treated mostly as a living plot-device and sacrificial lamb who gets picked up and moved around like the Amulet of Kings. i think more than anything, as cliche as this may sound, he probably just wants to Be Himself. but it's easier to just bury all that down and throw yourself into the monotony and routine of the Akatosh Chantry than it is to do any real introspection, so... you know the rest.

by contrast i see Lucien as a total control freak who puts on a big grand suave personality as a deliberate act, and underneath, it he's extremely petty and vindictive. he's always in charge. he always strikes first and he can always make an escape. he sets the terms for every interaction and expects complete unwavering loyalty and obedience in return. he lets you see only what he thinks you need to see-- of the brotherhood, of his methods, even of his body. even his dedication to Sithis is self-righteous and authoritative: Sithis works through HIM. the black hand must be preserved insofar as his authority and power must be preserved; he requires the veneer of credibility that the black hand provides. the black hand must be preserved because it is valuable to his needs and goals. and you will do exactly as he says, when and how he says to do it, in order to make that happen. and you will not ask questions.

this ends up being kind of a blind spot because he's so used to being in control, and absolutely NEEDS to be, that he underestimates his enemies/weaknesses bc he sees himself as a chessmaster. he doesn't want to think about someone outsmarting him, so he doesn't think about it, and therefore it's not even on his radar. the possibility does not exist in his mind so he can't pick up on the signs. and he ESPECIALLY can't ask you to watch his back-- only follow his orders, because to do otherwise would be to insinuate weakness. he's been in it so long that started believing his own persona. if Martin needs to find himself so he can make his own choices, Lucien needs to find himself so he can let someone else make some choices for once.

as for how those personalities would interact, congeal, or clash: it's entirely UP TO YOU!! and i'm eager to see what you (or anyone else) can come up with...

AITA for painting my mom's dresser?

When my mom was a child, her father (my grandfather) built her a dresser. He was a carpenter and it was a nice dresser. She used it growing up but it stayed at her parents house after she left to go to college and get married and all that.

After both my grandmother and grandfather passed away (late 1980s) my mom got the dresser and brought it to our house. And, when my mom passed away in 2001 the dresser came to my house.

I recently got a bunch of new furniture and the dresser did not match the color scheme, so I stripped it down to bare wood, fixed a few age related defects and painted it a color that matched the room.

I was showing off the new place to my friend and his girlfriend and the girlfriend asked about the dresser and I told her the story and she remarked how nice it was that it matched and I told her I painted it and she got really mad and told me I was wrong to paint my mom's heirloom piece. I didn't really know what to say and we ended the evening and they went home.

I do not think I did anything wrong because the dresser was painted when I got it. When I stripped it down, the wood it was made out of was not "good" - it was paint quality wood. Still nice and solid wood, not veneer, so good quality, just not the "show off the wood grain" quality. Also, it had several layers of paint, so I believe my mom repainted it several times. Also, my mom and I would always do DIY sort of projects around the house, so I kinda feel like this was doing what she would do.

However, I am not a sentimental person so I don't really know if I did anything wrong. This furniture piece was made by hand by my grandfather and gifted to my mom and I have changed it - so I may have violated a sentimental rule that I am not aware of - so I thought I'd turn to Reddit to decide if I did an AH move by changing up my mom's hand built dresser.

Awesome! Do you have any backstories or like Toyhou.se profiles or anything about the Gigglecorp characters? As basic stuff fans could use for references to know them better?

I dont personally, no. The existing comics and cartoon are your best bet for that. Dom would know the most, but I'll do my best to write a couple basic bios for the characters here

Jeff - A slack off clown who works in the sales department of Gigglecorp. He pretty much never finishes his work, but also never seems to be fired for it, since it mysteriously gets done anyway. He'd much rather spend his time smoking weed and eating taco bell. His best friend is cory, who he always seems to be at odds with. Despite this, theyre never REALLY mad at eachother, its all friendly, and at the end of the day they enjoy each others presence a lot. (They did look into taking their friendship further once but decided quickly it would be better if they remained friends.) (Jeff is bisexual) Jeff is prone to bouts of depression, feeling that he has failed at life and that the world has gone to shit, but he always bounces back quickly. Jeff has blond hair underneath his jester hood, and also has many tattoos that he probably doesnt remember getting. He also openly carries a firearm. Jeff is probably a second generation German Immigrant to America, considering his father was part of the Nazi Army in WWII. Jeff is probably a virgin.

Cory - He also works in the Sales department of Gigglecorp, but is far better at his job than jeff. In fact, he's the top salesman at the company! Though, if he was bad at his job, he also wouldnt be fired for it, for some reason. Cory is typically laid back, and takes most of the strange things happening around him with a grain of salt. That being said, he is typically the voice of reason, or ironically, the "straight man" when it comes down to it. Thanks to this, Cory often finds himself begrudgingly playing along with the bullshit occurring at the moment. Cory occasionally just lies to jeff about things. Cory also is a bit of a jokester. Cory is gay, and apparently pretty smooth with it. When something is just a bit too strange to be true, you'll often find cory a bit flabbergasted when its revealed.

Flippo the Dancing Flea - The current HR Guy on floor 68 of Gigglecorp (the one jeff and cory work on). No one really likes him, despite him trying very hard to be friends with everyone, and he has a crush on Girlboss. He's also kind of a pervert. A pathetic guy, really. Look forward to his debut!

Groypmo - Full title: The Great Groypmo or Groypmo the Great or whatever. Before the incident, he was a famous circus performer. Now, he's become a lot more reserved and quiet, and has taken up a job in sales at Gigglecorp. He also has let himself go since his youth. He has a giant stomach tattoo that he somehow rotates out to be various maps of different locations (Spain being the most common one). In his circus days, it was a tattoo of his smiling face. He's the best salesman on floor 68 behind Cory, and if you watch him, he seems to do more work than he turns in. He also seems to have pedophilic tendencies, but that's just a veneer he puts up to appear harmless. What is he hiding...?

Girlboss - Full name Girlene Bossman, she's the manager of floor 68 of Gigglecorp. A cruel woman, she works her employees hard, and has threatened to kill them if they dont finish their assignments on time. When Jeff and Cory ended up in her department, her first task for them was forcing them to carve "here at gigglecorp we fuck your mom!" into all of the walls of her floor. She's also kind of incompetent as a boss, and probably got her position from nepotism. She's always looking for new ways to whip her employees into shape, and seems to make decisions for the office on a whim. She has a big crush on Cory, much to his chagrin, but this also lets him and jeff get away with more than they should. She created the green character and the other color characters. Who the hell knows how. She acts like she's way younger than she actually is.

The Malevolent Little Green Character Hellbent on Sabotaging your Career - The malevolent green character, or the green character for short, he's a chaotic little guy who runs around and causes trouble for the office in various ways. Apparently he's an employee on floor 68 and is just trying to do his job? He's also looking for a place to lay his eggs.

Veronique - As a mime, she can't speak. Thus is the plight of this group of clowns. She's the receptionist for floor 68, but she doesnt seem to do much work. Being mute isnt the best attribute for someone working reception. She doesn't like jeff at all and is neutral towards cory. She's one of 3 people on the floor given the privilege of a chair. She can't be fired. And she always is watching Jeff and Cory. I wonder why...?

The CEO - a mysterious figure who runs things from the shadows.

I hope these were informative, I'll answer any other questions I can!

Chandrilan Moons -7

A Kylo Ren x Reader story with much angst, possessiveness and dark themes (warnings will be updated as the story progresses) –> Read also on AO3

____________________________xXx____________________________

7: Still feeling cooperative? +++ +Starkiller Base on Ilum+

I was no longer in that metal chair, that much I knew upon coming to, while the rest of my surroundings remained a confusing blur of gray interior and equally colorless, clinical people talking in clipped detached voices around me. For a brief moment I fooled myself into thinking that I was at the hospital on D'Qar after being knocked out during combat lessons, and that my encounter with Kylo Ren had just been a terrible nightmare. But the glaring red insignia of the First Order, worn proudly on the breast pocket of every person within sight, put an abrupt end to my illusions. As did the metal handcuffs at my wrists. At least there was no pain anymore, just the distant memory of it ghosting through my limbs and head, and after a while I realized to be in the medical bay of this place. The large room housed many beds, some of them occupied by wounded Stormtroopers, while a handful of nurses scurried in between the rows. They had put me in the corner farthest away from the large doors, half hidden behind a milky screen so that I could only survey part of the room. Whether to be on a spaceship or a planet-base was hard to tell from the monochrome interior and the uniformed First Order personnel, and windows were rare to come by in either case. Not that I was even thinking of escaping, stars I wasn't that foolish, but perhaps there was a chance for rescue if I could let my family and friends know where I was being kept.

One step at a time…, I reminded myself as my vision spun while trying to sit up in the medical bed. A nurse urged me to lie back down, then examined my injured hand and ribs. When she scribbled some notes onto her holopad, I dared to ask about my condition but she ignored me at first. Upon asking for the third time, she relented though and informed me about my split lip, cracked rib, sprained wrist and the considerate concussion. Her tone was kept professional, naturally reserved considering the fact that I was the enemy, and upon my shocked expression she let some humanity show beneath the polished First Order veneer.

"Nothing too serious, don't worry. But you need a lot of rest now." she said as she adjusted the amount of pain killing infusion that dripped slowly into my blood-system via an IV. Then the both of us noticed a growing tumult behind the screen, wavering voices laced with dread and a heavy set of footsteps approaching us. My heart skipped a beat, remembering that distinct sound from the woods and whom they foretold.

Alarmed by the presence of her superior, the nurse beside me turned away but somehow I managed to grasp her wrist despite the metal restraints. When she looked from my vice-like grip to my face, I pleaded with my eyes for her to help me. I was terrified of meeting Ren in another round of rampage inside my mind, of the pain and torment it entailed. Understanding and perhaps a grain of pity ghosted over the nurse's expression, gone tough when she turned around fully to walk away into the part of the room that was shielded from my view. Her silhouette shone through the milky screen. The heavy footsteps halted and a bulky figure joined the nurse in this shadow play, towering over her in his billowing robes and distinctive helmet.

"Status report on the prisoner." a calm but demanding voice, rumbling deep like the roll of thunder and foreboding dire consequences should the answer be displeasing. Without delay the nurse rattled off the details of my condition, again detached as if talking about a droid's flaws after an inspection.

"... Any further healing, especially of the brain, requires more rest. At least for 24 hours." she tentatively added at the end, her body posture all submissive and appeasing through the screen. Whether it was her medical opinion or an act of (female) solidarity against her terrifying Commander, I had no clue but I was grateful for the effort nonetheless. A few seconds ticked by, the giant figure unmoving, until its head very slowly turned to look directly at me through the screen and I could suddenly feel Ren's gaze on me like a laser, unyielding and permeating.

I promised to cooperate, but I'm not in for permanent damage to my brain. But why would he care about that...

"18 hours." came Ren's reply at last, staring in my direction for a beat longer, before he turned to walk away from the screen. His deep voice crackled above the storming footsteps: "You've got 18 hours to pepper her up."

As the end of my reprieve neared, my cuffs were unlocked and two nurses ushered me into the nearby refresher unit, their stern expressions daring me to try something stupid in there. Which I hadn't even thought of honestly, instead taking my sweet time to enjoy the hot water cascading down my body, washing away the forest grime but not my trepidation upon the near future. Clean and dried, I avoided looking too long at myself in the mirror and quickly put on washed-out grey cotton pants and a white shift, along with thin slippers which they had given me. While it seemed only logical to equip prisoners with simple clothes that weren’t made for fight or flight, they could at least have put some effort into the style. While the pants somewhat fit my frame, the shift hung a quite loosely on my shoulders, its hem ending mid-thigh, and I had to roll up the too long sleeves before fixing my hair. As of lately, I had come to wear my hair with one section in a bun and the rest braided - a similar style like Rey's, perhaps in an unwittingly attempt to imitate her. With a sigh I gave myself a once-over, thankful not to be an overly vain person, because stars I looked like a miserable and slightly beaten-up ghost in those unshapely rags.

No doubt Rey and Rose would have a laughing fit if they could see me…. the thought caused a sharp pang in my heart that drove tears to my eyes unbidden. An impatient knock on the door ripped me back to the present and I quickly wiped my eyes, exhaling deeply before exiting the refresher.

I'll see them again. Just need to play along and do as Ren says.

+++

A swish of opening doors was audible, followed by small and light footsteps as the girl slowly ventured into the premises of his quarters. Her light and mismatched clothes were a stark contrast to the black-grey and neatly arranged interior. Though by far not as spacious or luxurious as his accommodation on the Finalizer, those here consisted of a main living-room with adjacent bedroom and refresher unit, the doors to both currently firmly shut, which left the girl no options to hide. She flinched when the door behind her closed with a click, sealing her within this gloomy room full of shadows. With careful steps she rounded the small table and its accompanying two chairs, not deeming her surroundings worth a glance. As if mesmerized, her eyes were glued to the large window opposite the entrance door, a child-like wonder illuminating her face as she beheld the outside world of raging winter. Somewhere behind the building, the sun was setting and its remaining light cast an orange glow upon the snowy planes and distant mountains.

Kylo watched intently as she brushed two fingers across the glass, felt the cold under nipping at her fingertips, and knew she had never witnessed snow on Chandrila. While there could be heavy downpours and storms, the overall climate on Chandrila was mild and without extremes in either direction. Its summers warm and long, ideal for joyous play outside until mother’s calling. Kylo absorbed her memories with growing agitation and almost scoffed at the picture-perfect scenes unfolding in the girl’s head. By all means, she didn’t belong to a place of war like this, her whole being standing in stark contrast to the brutality of the First Order. A child of summer and gaiety, now trapped in this metallic prison amidst ice and darkness. And yet, in her innocent wonder, she was still unaware of the creature silently observing her from the shadows.

Kylo waited until the sun's rays slowly vanished outside and dipped the bizarre landscape, as well as the room, into the many opaque shades of night. By the time the last orange tint was snuffed out, Kylo had circled the girl and now stood directly behind her. From the periphery of her mind, he sensed her nerves prickle in an unconscious alarm to his presence. A few seconds later, her whole being was overcome by dread and pure shock when she saw his reflection in the window-glass. All black-in-black, the outlines of his figure were obscured by the surrounding shadows and the glistening silver elements of his helmet served as the only fix-point of that dark mass. Instantly she turned around and took a step backwards in order to increase the distance between them. Her thoughts were alight in a panicked flurry as she took him in.

How long has he been standing there?! Stars, how could I not notice him this close behind me?

On purpose, he took his time to have her squirm in his presence a little while longer. Her eyes were wide, searching for something alive behind his steeled mask, while she did her best to keep her limbs from shaking. She truly was a frightened little bird, so tiny and helpless compared to him.

“It’s time to continue where we left off.” Kylo’s deep voice cut the tense silence as he leaned slightly downward, his tall and broad frame towering over the girl even more so. On instinct she shied away and pressed herself against the cold glass behind her.

“Still feeling cooperative?”

She quickly nodded in reply and Kylo almost scoffed at her willingness to comply in the face of torture. Clearly she wasn’t trained at all for such situations and whoever had sent her to Takodana had made a grave mistake. How reckless, to let someone with such intel run around without the means to defend herself and the knowledge she possessed.

“You will answer me properly.”

+++

“Y-yes, sir.” I stuttered, averting my gaze from the polished and impenetrable surface of his mask. “I’m sorry, sir.”

I truly was, wishing to get this over with quickly and to return to my family and friends. The less I put up a fight, the better my chances to come out of this disaster - or so I hoped.

“Then come.” With the flick of his hand, dim lights went on in the corners of the room, and with large strides he lead us to a sleek metal desk. Before it had been too dark for me to make out the room’s interior, so I was slightly surprised to be in some sort of private quarter: a dark grey sitting area beside the window, a few plain cupboards along the walls and the desk where Ren had seated himself. Each wall housed a door, the one to my left probably leading to a refresher unit, while the one on the right stood ajar, revealing a bedroom. For a brief moment, the black sheets got my attention, then my eyes snapped to the durasteel main door, concluding that I was indeed trapped in here.

Dread filled my stomach and slowed my movements as I took the remaining empty seat opposite of Ren. He tilted his head slightly, as if studying me from behind his stainless mask in quiet contemplation. Suddenly very self-conscious, I crossed my arms in an instinctive reflex to shield myself, as the prolonged silence continued. Although I avoided to look at him, my very being was alert and just waiting for him to act, afraid of what was to come. After all, Kylo Ren was known to have a short temper and I had zero intention to set it off.

As if ripped from his inner musings, the black mass of Ren came to life then, shifting forward in his seat to touch the desk’s surface. A hidden keypad activated the built-in holo-screen and computer, Ren flicking through a menu by swiping his gloved finger in front of the holo-screen.

“Think of the map now.” He instructed then, his firm deep voice having me jump in my seat. Nodding, I sat up straight and did as I was told, immediately feeling his presence in my mind – a low humming in the distance, far less painful than the first time.

The map, yes. I saw it again, tiny stars and constellations… but quickly my mind would venture on to my encounter with the thugs, reviving the pain I had suffered at their hands.

Stop.

Ren’s harshness forced me back to the present and despite the mask I knew he was displeased.

“Sorry, I haven’t… how do I do this?”

Stars, I sounded to timid. Just like the little mouse I was. But then again, to cooperate was my only chance of survival here. Ren must have sensed my willingness, because he answered way more patiently than I had expected.

“Try again, but think only of the map in it’s entirety. Envision it with as much detail as you can and hold that image before your inner eye.”

And so I did, willing myself to calm down and focus – clinging to the hope that once Ren got the map, he would let me go. What a foolish child I had been…

PVC is a kind of material that is used in the production process of vinyl siding. Unlike wood siding, vinyl siding does not rot or flake over time. Panel thickness, surface treatment, and profile features set vinyl siding apart from other siding varieties. Vinyl siding is often available in a range of shapes and sizes. The most noticeable, and simplest to spot, difference can be observed when you examine a long, uninterrupted section of wall. This is as a result of the wall's integrity.

When employing traditional vinyl siding, overlapping must be done every 12 feet. The end product has a less than stellar appearance because to the staggered seam pattern that forms (see a small example on the left below). This remains the situation even in the event that a professional installs the system. Furthermore, the "steps" created by overlapping make it difficult to establish the illusion of a continuous surface when viewed up close. This is so because surface overlapping creates "steps" in the process.

The Beauty of Plywood Furniture: Stylish and Sustainable Designs

In recent years, plywood furniture has emerged as a stylish and sustainable choice for interior decor enthusiasts and design aficionados alike. 

This versatile material offers a unique blend of aesthetics, durability, and eco-friendliness that has captured the imagination of designers around the world. Let’s delve into the beauty of plywood furniture and discover why it’s becoming such a popular choice for modern living spaces.

1. The Appeal of Plywood

Plywood is crafted from thin layers of wood veneer glued together to form a strong and sturdy sheet. This construction method not only enhances its strength but also lends a distinctive visual appeal. 

Unlike solid wood, Birch plywood can be manipulated to create sleek curves and intricate shapes, making it a favourite among designers seeking versatility in their creations. The natural grain patterns of plywood add character and depth to furniture pieces, offering a warm and inviting aesthetic that complements various decor styles.

2. Sustainable Design

One of the most compelling aspects of plywood furniture is its sustainability. Unlike solid wood furniture, which often requires large amounts of timber from mature trees, plywood utilises thin layers of wood sourced from fast-growing trees like birch, poplar, or eucalyptus. 

This makes plywood a more environmentally friendly choice as it minimises the impact on forests and promotes responsible forestry practices. Additionally, the manufacturing process of plywood produces less waste compared to traditional solid wood furniture production, further reducing its carbon footprint.

3. Versatility in Design

Plywood's versatility allows designers to explore innovative and ergonomic designs that push the boundaries of furniture aesthetics. 

From minimalist Scandinavian chairs to futuristic modular shelving units, plywood can adapt to various forms and functions with ease. Its inherent strength-to-weight ratio also makes it ideal for creating lightweight yet durable furniture pieces that are easy to move and rearrange according to changing needs.

4. Durability and Practicality

Despite its lightweight nature, plywood furniture is incredibly durable and long-lasting. The layers of wood veneer are arranged in a cross-grain pattern, which enhances its strength and resistance to warping or cracking over time. 

This durability makes plywood furniture a practical choice for households with active lifestyles or for commercial spaces where furniture undergoes frequent use. Additionally, plywood is relatively low-maintenance, requiring simple care routines to preserve its beauty for years to come.

5. Affordable Luxury

Another advantage of plywood furniture is its affordability without compromising on style or quality. Compared to solid wood or designer furniture, plywood pieces are often more budget-friendly while still offering a high-end look. 

This accessibility has contributed to plywood's popularity among young professionals, renters, and first-time homeowners who seek well-designed furniture without breaking the bank.

Conclusion

Plywood furniture embodies the perfect blend of style, sustainability, and functionality. Its aesthetic appeal, coupled with its eco-friendly credentials and design versatility, has made it a favourite among interior designers and homeowners looking to create chic and sustainable living spaces. 

Whether you're furnishing a cozy apartment or a contemporary office, Birch plywood furniture offers a timeless allure that elevates any environment.

Factors Affecting Wooden Flooring Prices in Delhi

Thickness and Width: Thicker and wider planks are generally pricier than thinner and narrower ones. Thicker planks provide better durability and can be sanded and refinished multiple times, adding to their longevity.

Installation Method: The method of installation can also affect the overall cost of wooden flooring.

When budgeting for wooden flooring, it is essential to consider the long-term value and durability of the chosen flooring option.
