I didn’t realize that this 1896 Victorian was brick until I read the description, so it’s been painted. I hear such bad things about painted brick- it can’t breath so the paint chips off and has to be repainted every few years. This beauty is in Goshen, New York, has 3 bds., 2.5 bas., and is listed for $725K.

I wish it wasn’t empty, but it still looks good. Love the blue light in the newel lamp. 

I also thought that these walls were painted, but they’re wallpapered with moiré wood patterned fabric. Beautiful marble fireplace, too.

Very pretty powder room.

At least when they renovated the kitchen, they sprung for high-end reproduction appliances in a good color.

This must be the dining room b/c it matches the kitchen.

This is a lovely room. I’m wondering if it’s the main bd.

Pretty pink bd.

Looks like it was a child’s room.

One of the 2 modernized baths.

The stairs continue on to the 3rd level.

Check out the attic.

Where does this go? It must go to the turret.

This is a beautiful bath, too.

Look at how beautifully they did the basement. 

Here’s a real wine cellar. This is the best finished basement in an old house I’ve ever seen.

Look at how beautiful the back of the house is- that porch. This home has been impeccably restored.

Gorgeous fountain in a perfect green garden.

Even the carriage house is beautiful.

FASHION CREDITS: LADY GAGA BY ETHAN JAMES GREEN FOR VOGUE US OCTOBER ISSUE

I was highly expecting for Lady Gaga to land a Vogue cover and here we are, covering the October issue of the American Vogue. The photoshoot, which is highly inspired by her role as Harley Quinn in "Joker: Folie à Deux", was lensed by Ethan James Green.

Styling: Alex Harrington, makeup: Sarah Tanno-Stewart, hair: Frederic Aspiras, nails: Kim Truong using Glitterbels, tailors: Hailey Desjardins and Egle Paulauskaite, set design: Marla Weinhoff.

Photographed during her stay in Paris in July this year, the cover photo showcases Gaga in the blue embroidered trompe-l’œil synthetic hair coat made in collaboration with hairstylist Gary Gill from Balenciaga‘s 53rd Fall/Winter 2024 Haute Couture collection!

An iconic silhouette by now, Gaga rocks a pair of her favorite Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2016 Kiki buckled black leather platform boots!

The mixture of couture, high-end designers and emerging talent is immense in this editorial as Gaga wears the grunge-inspired Hodakova Fall/Winter 2024 argyle double knit sweater in this hauntingly beautiful shot.

Hyperventilating is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I fell in love the moment John Galliano sent out his girls down the dramatic runway and ever since I was hoping to catch Gaga in one of the designs. Never would‘ve thought she‘d even get a whole custom look!

Gaga poses in custom Maison Margiela Spring/Summer 2024 Artisanal Haute Couture.

White cotton caisetted cape cut with the memory of an ulster coat, worn over a patinaed knitted silk bodysuit matching Gaga’s skin tone underpinned by a corset covered in jersey and a silicone hip prothèse.

A taped reverse swatching hat in white foam and caisetted cotton, patinaed knitted silk stockings and gloves, and custom Christian Louboutin for Margiela white patent leather criss-cross platform pumps with torn stocking overlay.

One thing you should know about Gaga is that she loves to layer multiple runway pieces to merge a whole new look.

From Dior‘s Resort 2025 collection, a love letter to Scotland, she wore a knitted argyle sweater with cut-outs, a tartan wool maxi dress which she layered underneath a mesh and metallic lace dress, and some argyle socks.

The Hodakova sweater makes a return, this time accessorized with an antique hand-painted plaque, ruby and diamond in 18kt gold brooch, and a smoky quartz and pearl in 18k gold brooch, both from Tony Duquette!

A shoe that changed herstory. Vivienne Westwood‘s infamous Fall/Winter 1993 Super Elevated Gillie platform shoes make a return, acquired from Pechuga Vintage. You might remember Gaga wearing a boot version of these for her 2010 Elle spread!

A firework of excitement ransacked my body when I first found out that Alessandro Michele would depart from Gucci to head over to Valentino as the new creative director.

LG is, to my knowledge, the first celebrity to rock a piece from the Resort 2025 "Avant Les Debuts" (Before the Beginning) collection – a pale yellow chiffon mini dress with high collar, tiered ruffle puff sleeves and floral sequin embroidery all over!

Paired with custom Maison Margiela distressed stockings and custom Christian Louboutin platform heels.

Gaga is working it in a bi-colored statuesque coat seen on Yohji Yamamoto‘s Fall/Winter 2024 "A Seamless Parable on Cubism" runway.

Rather than canvas and paint, Yamamoto’s medium is fabric and more than ever, it felt like he let his instinctual side take the wheel. Case in point: He said he couldn’t talk about how he’d arrived at these silhouettes. "During fittings, I can change, I can touch", he said with finality.

The look was crowned with a custom Vivienne Bow hat made of voluminous moiré fabric by emerging designer Andrew James!

One of the "Antwerp Six" designers, Dries Van Noten bid farewell earlier this Summer and decided to leave the fashion scene with a bang by celebrating his legacy at his final Spring/Summer 2025 collection where this epic embroidered cashmere coat is from.

Both her plaque-embellished black beanie...

...and double-breasted boxy oversized coat with peaked lapel are from The Row's Resort 2025 lookbook!

Gaga is the first ever person to wear this vintage Givenchy by Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 1999 "Execution of Lady Jane Grey" Haute Couture chinoiserie embroidered silk balloon sleeve coat and bespoke black dress, both sourced from LILY et Cie.

In 1999, McQueen was going through, in his own words, "an emotional turmoil" both professionally and personally. But instead of relieving himself, he ventured into his own despair to understand his inner demons more poignantly. This painful journey led Lee to Paul Delaroche’s tragic but beautiful 1833 painting, "The Execution of Lady Jane Grey".

Like a painter to a blank canvas, McQueen filled an empty room with extravagant offerings: romantic silk ensembles with floral embroidery, 16th-century fur-trimmed tunics, luxurious velvet coats, as well as the designer’s signature leather suits, cowl-neck dresses, and even a heightened-for-couture bouffant piece that paid homage to his plaid.

Dialing in on his inspiration, McQueen presented his clothes not on models but on fiber-glass-headed mannequins that emerged from trap doors in batches, as if the audience were in an art gallery rather than a fashion show.

It's almost unrecognizable but Gaga is draping this Chanel Fall/Winter 2024 Haute Couture black silk taffeta opera coat around her torso. This piece, which served as the show's opening number, features a ruffled neck, bejeweled buttons and a voluminous cut.

The large-area synthesis and transfer of multilayer hBN for fabricating 2D electronics

Researchers at Kyushu University, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and Osaka University in Japan have recently introduced a new strategy for synthesizing multi-layer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), a material that could be used to integrate different 2D materials in electronic devices, while preserving their unique properties. Their proposed approach, outlined in a paper published in Nature Electronics, could facilitate the fabrication of new highly performing graphene-based devices.

"The atomically flat 2D insulator hBN is a key material for the integration of 2D materials into electronic devices," Hiroki Ago, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told Tech Xplore. "For example, the highest carrier mobility in monolayer graphene is achieved only when it is sandwiched by multilayer hBN. Superconductivity observed in twisted bilayer graphene also needs multilayer hBN to isolate from environment."

In addition to its value for fabricating graphene-based devices, hBN can also be used to integrate transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in devices, achieving strong photoluminescence and high carrier mobility. It can also be valuable for conducting studies focusing on moiré physics.

The Paris based firm of Tessier-Sarou offered this unique work from the design house of Madeline Vionnet from the S/S 1923 collection. While her house is primarily remembered for her extensive use of bias cutting, clothes cut on the straight grain of the fabric were also produced. This is one of those works. Made of a pink silk moiré fabric, the design gets all its considerable impact from the highly graphic flame like appliqués that are worked in a very dark pink silk velvet that is edged with gold metallic thread embroidery. This is a much more graphically strong statement from her hand than is typical of what we know of her work through surviving garments and sketches. A client who ordered this dress would have needed considerable presence to carry it off successfully.

(1) Robe de popeline blonde, le jupon uni coupé de haut en bas par un galon de grosse soie loutre et gros bleu qui forme rayure. La tunique princesse rattrapée de côté par des plis, drapée devant, soulevée à gauche jusqu'à la hanche et retombant droite derrière. À droite, des plis plats font bouffer l'étoffe qui est rapportée, et des flots de rubans moirés bleu et loutre agrafent les draperies. Le corsage, rayé comme le jupon par des galons, est garni de deux bretelles drapées qui forment fichu.

(1) Blond poplin dress, the plain petticoat cut from top to bottom by a braid of thick otter and heavy blue silk which forms a stripe. The princess tunic caught on the side by pleats, draped in front, raised on the left to the hip and falling straight behind. On the right, flat folds fluff the fabric which is brought back, and waves of blue and otter moiré ribbons staple the draperies. The bodice, striped like the petticoat with braid, is trimmed with two draped straps which form a fichu.

(2) Costume en velours levantin gris d'acier, teinté en camaïeu. La jupe, unie, est brodée en dents d'un velours gris foncé. Le corsage princesse forme à gauche grande casaque, assortie au jupon, tandis qu'à droite, coupée en polonaise, c'est de la faille grise qui, doublée en velours, forme revers et vient plastronner sur le corsage. Les manches sont en velours levantin, avec revers de faille.

(2) Suit in steel gray Levantine velvet, tinted in monochrome. The plain skirt is embroidered in dark gray velvet teeth. The princess bodice forms a large gown on the left, matching the petticoat, while on the right, cut in Polish, it is gray fault which, lined in velvet, forms a lapel and is placed on the bodice. The sleeves are in Levantine velvet, with fault cuffs.

I’m absolutely delighted to present you with my finished #darkling cape and tunic. All that remains now is the other belt sash (a very beautiful moiré fabric that looks like made of shadows themselves) and maybe a headpiece? Not sure what to use. I’m beyond proud of this creation and I finally learned the basics of tailoring and combined them with my “sewing intuition”. I particularly enjoyed the work with intricate braiding and I like the final results. I still need to figure out the makeup - and also to take out my buds, because now I’m a very modern #grisha enjoying Bluetooth technologies 👀 The Darkling belongs to @lbardugo and her amazing book universe. #grishaverse #darklingcosplay #bookcommunity #bookcosplay #embroidery #braiding #uniform #costumedesign #cosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CjxgXM2DhOT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
