Birmingham Rail District home to eclectic mix of design shops and studios
Last year, Fort Washington interior designer and blogger Carrie Leskowitz noticed a trend: Stylish designers, manufacturers, and do-it-yourselfers were suddenly obsessed with dip-dye - plunging curtains, chair legs, and even utensils into vats of dye and paint. It made sense: A few years back, fashion runways had been awash with ombre, and the trend had filtered into hair and even nails - so why not home design?
Leskowitz blogged about the trend, but didn't bother doing any dyeing of her own. After all, she said, trends like that don't last long these days.
"Everything is so global now that the information is everywhere, and it's coming very quickly," Leskowitz said. "There's an arc to a trend. It builds and it picks up speed - and then once it's become so saturated that everyone has done it, the trend is over."
That raises a question: Even as a new year brings fresh trends, how can you put together a room that's up-to-date, but won't appear stuck in 2014 for perpetuity?
The key, said local designers, is applying trends selectively, layering them with neutral, classic pieces, and, most important, staying true to your taste.
"The tenet of good design is really using a certain amount of restraint," said Rittenhouse Square designer Ashli Mizell. "There's a big difference between being trendy and being current."
Mizell sees the design world adopting some bold trends from the fashion runway: Think ethnic prints mixed with unexpected pairings like plaid and leopard print. She's also seeing lots of graphic black-and-white patterns and bold clashing patterns in mixes like pink and red.
Those aren't easy trends to wear - and applying them at home is even more difficult.

Make home trendy without getting stuck in an era
Wiring Panel for Structured Wiring The Wiring Panel is the heart of any Structured Wiring job. You should have already chosen the location of your wiring panel when you created your Wiring Plan. This should probably be placed in the basement if you have one. Otherwise, a closet will work too. The benefit of proper structured wiring plan is that all wires terminate in one location - your wiring panel. This makes it much easier to change your setup and to diagnose and repair problems.
Purchasing a wiring panel can add a professional finish to your work, but they can also be expensive. The empty panel might start as low as $50, but you end up getting trapped into using their overpriced modules for phone, cable, and internet distribution. I was able to find a standalone 24 port internet switch for less than the cost of a Leviton 4 port hub. If your wiring panel will be visible (it is located in a closet or small room) then you might want to go with a real wiring panel like the one shown above. Since my wiring panel is hidden in an unfinished closet in the basement, I prefer to save the money and just mount everything to the wall. The wires are visible, but it also has more room makes it easier to move things around.
Any non-electrical wires from outside the home should be run to the wiring panel. As you can see below, most companies are trying to offer the big 3 services (phone, TV, & internet). Having all wires start from the same location makes it easier to switch between companies. Everyone is always offering a better deal for new customers to get them to switch. The panel will then distribute these to the rest of the home. This includes:
With a structured wiring plan, the cable modem is located at the wiring panel in the basement. The incoming cable is run to the cable modem. The Cat5 cable is then run to a internet switch which can then distribute the internet throughout the home. A typical wiring panel will contain a Cable or DSL modem, a internet switch, a WiFi router, phone splitter, TV / satellite splitters, and an alarm panel.
Before cutting any wires, do a rough layout of where each switch, splitter, switch, and panel will be. I like to start at the top with the wires coming in from the street, then the grounds, then splitters at the bottom.
The second method for phone distribution is to simply buy a multi-port phone splitter.
Each wire must be terminated with a 6 pin phone connector. A special crimping tool and phone connectors are required to do this. Each wire in the braid is inserted through its own hole in the connector, then the wires are crimped to hold them in the connector. Finally, the excess wire is trimmed from the end of the connector. Only untwist as little wire as necessary.
For coaxial wires, you must crimp on a coax connector before connecting it to the splitter. Do not use the twist on connectors. You can use a standard wire stripper to strip the coaxial cable, but a custom coax stripper will give you a perfect cut. After stripping the wire, push the braid back on the wire and then crimp on the connector. The white insulator should just be visible inside the connector. Be sure to get the correct RG6 (not RG59) connectors. Make sure that the braid and the inner core do not touch.
All coaxial wires (cable or satellite) coming in from the street should be grounded. Most splitters have built in ground connections, but if they don't you can use a separate grounding block. If the builder hasn't already provided a ground, you will need to run a copper wire from your copper water pipe to under the screw on the grounding block.

Archos has unveiled a new range of connected objects ahead of CES in Las Vegas next week. Capable of wirelessly working with each other, and synchronizing with iOS and Android smart devices, the new products fall into either Connected Home and Connected Self lines, and include a new tablet, a tiny home security camera, motion sensors, weather monitors, a personal activity tracker and a blood pressure monitor.
The Archos Mini Cam is about the size of a golf ball, has a wide-angle lens and records still images and/or short video footage via a 640 x 490 resolution VGA camera. It's waterproof, so can keep vigil outdoors, comes with a magnetic stand and runs on three CR2450 batteries. Like all of the Archos connected objects, the Mini Cam promises easy set up, and pairs to iOS or Android smart devices over Bluetooth 4.0 (LE) for real-time monitoring and data retrieval via the company's Smart Home app or the new Smart Home Tablet.
The 7-inch, 1024 x 600 resolution Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) pad can be used to set trigger and actions based on different scenarios, such as turning on the lights or setting off the camera when a motion sensor is activated. The tablet features a 1.2 GHz RK3168 dual-core processor, 512 MB of RAM, 8 GB of onboard storage with SD card expansion, and dual-band Wi-Fi. It also has its own temperature and humidity sensor, and includes an Android Daydream feature that displays interactive screensavers for those who leave the device powered on most of the time.
The Motion Ball looks for movement 110 degrees out front and over a 10 m (33 ft) range. It's also waterproof and powered by three CR2450 batteries. The Movement Tag can be placed on doors or windows to monitor comings and goings. It's able to detect when its two components break their magnetic connection, or when the onboard accelerometer senses movement. This unit is powered by one CR2430 battery. An appliance or lamp plugged into a Smart Plug can be switched on or off using the Smart Home app, which can also be used to monitor the power use of the device plugged into it and report stats.
Archos has created the Weather Station to keep up to date with the weather, CO2 levels, humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure, and environmental noise levels. Wherever you are in the world, weather information from home and at national level can be accessed via the Archos Weather Station app, which will also store gathered data for later analysis.
When different connected objects are used together, users can control or automate functions around the home, and receive notifications when certain events occur.
The Connected Scales are reported capable of recognizing up to four different users. Archos says that the scales are able to calculate BMI and Fat Mass after user measurements are entered into the system, and benefit from built-in storage so that vital stats are not lost should synchronization be lost. The scales can support a maximum user weight of 397 lb (180 kg), and run on four AAA-sized batteries.
Next up is a bracelet-type Activity Tracker. Basically a pedometer that counts the number of steps taken and records the distance walked, the device can also advise how many calories have been burned. It sports an OLED display, and its integrated Li-Pol battery should last for up to seven days between charges via the included USB connector.
The Blood Pressure Monitor auto inflates and detects systolic, diastolic blood pressure and pulse. The unit alerts the user if an irregular heart beat is detected. It can display information on the LCD screen, filter recorded data by time period, and upload data to a paired smart device over Bluetooth for detailed analysis. This model runs on two AAA-sized batteries.
As with the Connected Home objects, useful metrics gathered from the smart scales, activity tracker and blood pressure monitor can be viewed on a paired iOS or Android device via the Connected Self app.
