Lego Bedrooms

With the upcoming release of the Lego Batman Movie, we thought we’d take a look at some seriously enviable bedrooms with a Lego design.

We’ve seen some amazing Lego constructions over the years, so bringing it to your kids bedroom shouldn’t be too hard, right? Well, there’s not a lot your buy ready-made, so your best bet is customisation or DIY. Here’s the inspiration you need to get you started.

EXISTING HOME SALES SURGE INTO SUMMER [INFOGRAPHIC]

Highlights:

  • Existing Home Sales reached their third highest mark this year in May.
  • Inventory of homes for sale has dropped 8.4% since last year, marking the 24th consecutive month of year-over-year declines.
  • NAR’s Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun had this to say: “Those able to close on a home last month are probably feeling both happy and relieved. Listings in the affordable price range are scarce, homes are coming off the market at an extremely fast pace and the prevalence of multiple offers in some markets are pushing prices higher.”

Bernstein on Mozart

Berstein on MozartBernstein uses Mozart’s Symphony # 40 in G minor to illustrate the how tonal music theory is actually the interaction of two oppositional forces i.e. chromaticism which is a force of ambiguity or expressivity and, diatonicism which is a force for tonal clarity or keyness . Viewed from this frame of reference there comes into existence a kind of (spectrum of affective response) that is directly related to both history and chromatic density: So very diatonic music sounds simple direct and clearly in a key (think folk music) and the more chromatic music becomes the more expressive the music becomes (if it’s good) until it becomes sorta dream like (impressionist) and then quite modern then atonal . This is a short excerpt from lecture 1 Phonology of Bernstein’s Six Harvard Lectures “The Unanswered Question” 1973 .
