☆ PwC tells employees it will use location data to police ‘back-to-office’ rule
  + stars: | 2024-09-06 | by ( Lianne Kolirin | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
London CNN —PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) will start tracking where its employees in the United Kingdom work, in a bid to dial back its current work-from-home culture. Previous guidelines required them to be in for between two and three days each week, but the memo suggests that was not universally adhered to. “With that in mind, we will start sharing your individual working location data with you on a monthly basis from January as we do with other data such as chargeable hours. This will help to ensure that the new policy is being fairly and consistently applied across our business,” it added. Earlier this year, IBM told its US-based managers they had to work in the office at least three days a week or leave their positions.

In January, Pinellas school district officials yanked Toni Morrison’s classic novel “The Bluest Eye” from high schools after a parent complained about a two-page rape scene. But in counties like Pinellas, his policies and rhetoric have already had what his critics believe is their intended effect. She objected to parts of the syllabus Mr. Robinson had distributed to his class on African-American history, which her son had briefly enrolled in. “I don’t stop my class and ask my white kids, ‘Hey, how are you feeling?’ What kind of teacher would do that?” Mr. Robinson said. In January, someone reported Mr. Robinson for a TikTok mentioning that he had taught students in his Dunedin sociology class about the Black thinker W.E.B.

☆ A $500,000 Remodel Took Their Kitchen From ‘Fine’ to Sky-High

Condos overlooking Manhattan’s Central Park in the spate of high-rise buildings nicknamed Billionaires’ Row typically come with what most homeowners would consider a more-than-adequate kitchen. When designer Mick De Giulio’s clients, who had worked with him on two previous kitchens in Chicago and the Hamptons, purchased a 2,800-square-foot, two bedroom in a newly finished supertall in 2017, the standard kitchen wasn’t cutting it. “The unit had white lacquer cabinets and white countertops,” says de Giulio, who has been creating custom kitchens for over 45 years as founder of his eponymous Chicago-based firm. “As far as serviceability it was fine, but these clients wanted something that represented their personal style and worked for their lifestyle.”

☆ An Augusta Living Room Design With the Masters in Mind
  + stars: | 2023-01-28 | by ( Laura Hine | Laura Hin | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Designer Lauren Robbins had two potentially conflicting goals for the large living room in the new construction house she was working on in a gated community that is just minutes from Augusta National Golf Club, in Augusta, Ga. Like many of his neighbors, the homeowner, who is an intelligence consultant, rents his house out for the week during the Masters Tournament, so the living area needed to be great for entertaining. However, the majority of the time, it’s just the homeowner, who’s a divorced father, and his two sons, so the living room also needed to feel approachable and warm. Ms. Robbins’s solution to both needs was to make the room very symmetrical. “As big as the room is, it feels balanced and comfortable,” she said. “It has a timeless appeal, but still has some curious and interesting pieces that are conversation starters.”
☆ The Sunroom Started as an Escape. Now the Whole Family Wants to Hang Out There.

Over the course of several years, designer Sarah Vaile decorated almost every inch of a couple’s house in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. Both husband and wife are doctors with busy schedules, so they asked Ms. Vaile to turn a third-floor storage space into a sunroom and lounge for relaxing and entertaining. “They have two teenagers and everyone in the house was feeling the need to spread out,” Ms. Vaile says. “It was intended to be an escape for the parents, but everybody loves it, so there’s a bit of competition for the area.”Ms. Vaile’s eponymous Chicago-based company is known for its colorful and lively designs, and in this room finished in July 2022, she went for a year-round summer palette. “In their living room, we went with a deep raspberry and mint,” she says.

When Mr. Nazarian approached Ms. Marie about their home renovation project, his timing was pretty perfect. “Page and Sheila became my first clients.”With their three children in mind, the Nazarians asked Ms. Marie, whose firm is Alana Marie Interiors, to start outdoors. They looked at the former owner’s home office. “We were going to keep it as an office,” Mr. Nazarian said, “but then one of our friends came in and said it would be an awesome bar.”
☆ A Statement Chandelier Plays Centerpiece to a Contemporary Dining Room

When Casey Howard and her client saw the Studio Bel Vetro Light Drop chandelier in a showroom, they had an “aha” moment. “We both agreed it was perfect; it’s sculptural in the day and twinkles above the lights at night,” says Ms. Howard, principal designer and owner of Danville, Calif.-based Casey Howard Interior Design. The house has large windows along a curved exposure that maximize views of the San Francisco Bay, Oakland and San Francisco. In the dining room, those windows—plus stairs that curve into the space—create a room with few right angles. “Because it’s a semicircle, the space presented some design challenges,” Ms. Howard says, noting that the unusual shape led to some innovative solutions.
