He's now a sought-after interior designer and a judge on The Block, but Darren Palmer jokes that he can hardly credit his childhood in 1980s country Queensland with his taste.
He's now a sought-after interior designer and a judge on The Block, but Darren Palmer jokes that he can hardly credit his childhood in 1980s country Queensland with his taste.
What do you reckon? My mum and dad had an apricot leather lounge suite, he says, laughing.
Maybe this is where it all started. Maybe I sort of saw that and went 'urgh, there's got to be better than this'.
Palmer grew up in Gladstone, about six hours north of Brisbane, and at 17 hightailed it to Rockhampton to study fine art and design. Straight after university he moved to Brisbane to start work in graphic design and advertising.
Chasing the big city lights, he took his talents to Sydney, eventually starting his own graphic design firm.
I did some decent work and it was all OK but I'm about 10 times better an interior designer than I was a graphic designer, says Palmer, 36.
It was while renovating a one-bedroom apartment at age 27 spending every spare minute of his weekends on the project that Palmer's flair attracted the attention of an interior designer friend who offered to show him the ropes.
When Belle magazine published photos of his renovated apartment, Palmer's star began to shine.

Chambers Names Director of Interior Design
PASCO, WA - Faulty wiring in a light fixture is to blame for a fire that left six people without a home Tuesday morning, in Pasco.
The fire started around 5:00 a.m. in the attic of the home, on the 900 block of South Lindsay Avenue.
Firefighters had to rip open the ceiling in the living room to get to the flames. It took them about a half hour to put out the fire.
The family was inside at the time, but was able to get out safely.
"Crews had to go in and gain access to the attic. It was lath and plaster construction-- so, they had a difficult time getting in--but once they got in there, we got the fire under control real quickly," said Battalion Chief Dave Hare of the Pasco Fire Department.
Firefighters said the family was able to salvage most of their belongings. The Red Cross is helping them with what they need.

Home Warranties
Q. What do you think about home warranty for rentals? Best regards. Azhar, San Diego, Calif.
A. Im glad to see that you are a rental property owner now! Ive been hearing more and more investors that use home warranties, which is quite a turnaround from a few years ago. Ill note how these work and a few issues to consider.
A home warranty costs about $350-$500 per year. Many sellers provide a home warranty to a buyer at the sale in hopes that gives the seller a little extra protection in case an appliance or other item breaks. And some home warranty companies do a decent job servicing their policies, but some dont do a good job. Home warranty companies, unfortunately, are some of the most complained about service providers for unsatisfactory service, but many have good experiences too. You just have to find the good ones!
The main issue to understand is that a home warranty doesnt cover everything that could go wrong. Like any insurance policy, there are exclusions for some issues, plus there are items like pools or air conditioners that cost extra. Most policy buyers dont read the policy and just assume, incorrectly, that everything is covered.
So if you are going to buy a policy, make sure you understand what is covered and what is not covered. Due to the relatively low cost, I dont see any issues with buying a policy for a year and seeing what you experience if you need to make a service call and how good a job the company does on that call. Make sure to fill me in on your experience next year.
1031 Exchange
Q. We are doing a 1031 exchange and will soon be selling property for about $2,100,000. We want to buy some rentals and thought about Texas, but taxes are insane. So we are considering California. My question to you is do you think buying four to five ready-to-go rental properties is a good idea and where do you think we should be looking, since with the 1031 exchange we have limited time to identify properties. Josh B., North of Los Angeles
A. Make sure to get good legal, accounting and 1031 exchange advice months before you close escrow on what you are selling. Identifying a property within 45 days that you can actually get under contract and buy is very tough. If you are trying to buy five properties, thats even tougher. You need the buyer of your property to work with you and agree to close escrow once you have all the replacement properties under contract and moving close to closing escrow. Otherwise, good luck completing the exchange.
Regarding buying rental properties, rentals are hard work. If you folks are older, you may not want to deal with rentals. Having a management company might help some, but might not help that much. So make sure you want to be landlords. Also, you should buy properties near where you live. If you have to travel long distances to service the property even if you have a management company this can be very disrupting to your life and you might find that the properties are more of a pain than they are worth.

Home How to Apple How to fix broken iPhone Home button: the Home button's stopped working! iPhone or iPad Home button not working? Here's how to fix a broken Home button.
by David Price , 12 Aug 13
iPhone or iPad Home button not working? Here's how to fix a broken Home button.
The Home button on my iPhone 4 is broken - it's stopped working, anyway. You have to press the Home button three or four times, very hard, to get it to respond at all. Any advice, or a fix you can recommend?
iPhone (and iPad) Home buttons do go wrong from time to time, often (frustratingly) a year or so after the warranty runs out. Apple may be able to repair the hardware (for a price), but there's a neat workaround built into iOS that you may not be aware of.
[Related:How to jailbreak your iPhone|How to stop iPhone neck and iPad shoulder|How to protect your iPhone from thieves]
First of all, the full repair option. Check out our iPhone warranty guide to see what your rights are - if the problem arose after you dropped the iPhone in water, for example, your warranty may be invalid. Make an appointment with Apple and find out if you're covered, or how much the repair is likely to cost if it's not.
Can you repair the device yourself? You can give it a try, but unless you're a confident tech hobbyist we wouldn't recommend it - since for one thing it's likely to invalidate your warranty, and may worsen the problem instead of fixing it. And as we will see shortly, there is a workaround that means a dodgy Home button needn't kill your iPhone experience.
iOS has a neat feature that helps when hardware buttons stop working. Go to Settings, General and then scroll down to Accessibility. Under Physical & Motor, click AssistiveTouch, and then slide AssistiveTouch into the ON position.
