In a special ceremony, Disney has invited the family of Leah Chase, the New Orleans chef who inspired Princess Tiana, to be the first to ride the brand-new attraction in Disney World this summer. Earlier this week, Disney executives surprised Leah Chase’s family at their restaurant, Dooky Chase, to reveal the news. Disney has now confirmed which guests will be riding Tiana’s Bayou Adventure first when it opens this summer. The Magic Kingdom attraction was initially expected in late 2024 but has since been bumped up to arriving in the summer months. And for those regular ticketed guests that will be rope-dropping Disney World’s most popular park to get a ride on the Bayou–they likely won’t be the first onboard.

At the time of this writing, there has been no official release date announcement for "A House on the Bayou," but it appears that targeting the end of this year is still very much a part of the plan. As it is, "A House on the Bayou" is the first in a series of straight-to-service projects Blumhouse is set to deliver to Epix per a recently inked production deal. Yes, that means the new film will indeed make its debut on the premium cable channel when the day comes. Blumhouse's dominance of the horror market is not likely to end anytime soon, with mastermind Jason Blum continuing to line up one intriguing project after another. Artists from the six parishes compete annually for grants from the council by submitting a written proposal of their projects, and a board is formed to vote on the funds. Having a local center the artists could use would foster their passions, she said.

First, he locked John in a dark room where a wild coyote preyed upon him and killed him. Then, he brought Vivienne to the house on the bayou to punish her for having a relationship with a married man. However, Issac quickly turns up at the door and invites Jessica for a veal cutlet dinner at his house. As soon as Jessica finds out about veal availability in the store, she accuses John of lying to her again and trying to control her.

The unknown owner lets Jessica and her family stay in the house so that she can video film the interior and prepare it for the listing. "I want the Bayou Regional Arts Council to have a home, and an office and a space," Ardoin said. "We don't need all this space. What we want to acquire all this space for is to provide a place that these people can come practice and perform." When he’s not thinking about the Magic Kingdom, Thomas is usually reading a book, becoming desperately obsessed with fictional characters, or baking something delicious (his favorite is chocolate cake -- to bake and to eat). He's a dreamer and grew up on Mulan saving the world, Jim Hawkins soaring through the stars, and Padmé Amidala fighting a Nexu. At the Parks, he loves to ride Everest, stroll down Main Street with an overstuffed pin lanyard around his neck, and eat as many Mickey-shaped ice creams as possible.

In A HOUSE ON THE BAYOU, Jessica (Angela Sarafyan), a realtor, has just discovered that her husband John (Paul Schneider), a creative writing teacher, is having an affair with one of his students. As John expresses remorse and a willingness to fix their marriage, Jessica decides to travel with John and their 14-year-old daughter Anna to a dream home in rural Louisiana that Jessica is trying to sell. Unnerved, John drives Anna back to the house, where, shortly after, Isaac shows up and invites John, Jessica, and Anna to dinner at their house. The arts council often carries out its functions at the Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum, which lends space to the council for like its annual meet and greet.

We focus on bringing you all things fun so you can plan your theme park vacation, enjoy Disney at home, and more. There's typically not much of an attempt at any sort of pairing (often times I may not even know what I'll be eating). It's more of a "grab whatever I have handy in my fridge" sort of thing. I need something to drink with my meal, and I don't like drinking significant amounts without food, so two birds with one stone I guess. I try to take in the food and beer separately, though sometimes there is a fortuitous pairing, such as the combination of a Hummingbird cake and coconut-coffee porter that happened recently.

Fogertys’ apartment, Kains Avenue, Albany (exact address unknown – anyone?) – Fogerty and his young family lived in a tiny apartment on this street. Proud Mary, his songwriting breakthrough, was crafted in the apartment’s plain, beige main room. I have been fortunate to interview Fogerty a few times (including here) and to see seven of his shows.

And here’s a bonus, the bus station in Lodi, a city named after the Creedence song. (Don’t confuse this Lodi with Lodi, N.J.) The grizzled musician in the song isn’t thrilled to be trapped in Lodi, but it’s a pleasant agricultural city about 75 miles east of El Cerrito, with a thriving winery scene. You could pair it — to use a wine term — with Folsom (if you’re in a Johnny Cash frame of mind), about 45 miles further north. California’s kind of a dump right now, so it’s a relief to stumble upon these little oases of relative cleanliness and civility.

From aggressive discourse to petitions being signed, the closure of this attraction, which opened in 1989 on the West Coast and 1992 on the East Coast, became a major point of contention with Disney park fans.

Executive Director Genie Ardoin and her staff have been working out of their homes and are searching for a new location for a community arts center. The organization needs offices, she said, but is seeking extra space for artists, actors, and musicians to use. Created in 2005, what started as a tiny central Florida-based website and short weekly podcast that allowed our audience to visit Walt Disney World virtually has grown into the publishing company it is today.

Based on the controversial 1946 movie Song of the South, Splash Mountain was rooted in the discourse and criticisms of race portrayal despite being inspired by the animated sequences in the film. Song of the South is so disputed, thanks, in part, to its portrayal of African Americans, that it has never had a home release in the United States and is unavailable to watch on Disney+. Chase’s other daughter, Leah Chase Jr., can be heard singing a rendition of Louis Armstrong’s “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans? Stella and her daughter Myla Chase Reese recently visited California to see some of the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure animatronics in motion.

The only task left was to visit his boyhood homes as well as his alma mater El Cerrito High School, which has a respectable display honoring famous alumni. If you are considering staying in the area for that extra Fogerty experience, I found a nice Airbnb in neighboring Albany, which also has strong Fogerty connections. Like a lot of people, I once assumed that John Fogerty really was “born on the bayou” somewhere in the Deep South. After all, that’s what he sang, and it also explained his gritty vocals. But no, the Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman is a northern California boy — with the streets of San Francisco “out my back door” — to lift another of his song titles. Issac told Jessica that he saw himself as a moral compass and punished people who spun in the wrong direction.

The couple ends up fighting when Issac and his grandfather turn up at the house as uninvited guests and further fuel the couple’s already troubled relationship. John Chambers, a creative writing professor, comes home and faces his furious wife, Jessica. She finds out about her husband’s ongoing affair with his student, Vivienne Ballard.

It seems that nearly anything set in The Pelican State must have someone speaking in an awed whisper about how mystically magical it is, due to French or Haitian ties, cayenne pepper, the Mississippi River, something. Apparently, in the words of the Skeptical Cop in this horror movie, "It's easy to get confused in the bayou," and "The bayou plays a lot of tricks," said among other verities about the state's swamps and parishes. It has become as stock and bland as a Midwest potluck dinner of meatloaf and cupcakes, and here's hoping that those who set their artistic work in Louisiana start coming up with stories as unique and diverse as the state actually is. That's more or less the plot of A House on the Bayou, and if that seems like a worn-out story, it's because it is. The movie tries to keep you guessing as to whether the bad guys are simply sociopaths from the murky depths of Cajun country or are in fact tools of Satan, if not Satan himself. By the time this is revealed, it feels as unsatisfying as any other plot twist shoehorned into the story.

His favorite character is Han Solo (yes, he did shoot first), and his favorite TV show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer except when it's One Tree Hill. He loves sandy beach walks, forest hikes, and foodie days out in the Big City.Thomas lives in England, UK, with his fiancée, baby, and their dog, a Border Collie called Luna. While Frontierland is currently operating at limited capacity due to the Splash Mountain retheme, it may not be too long until more construction and landscaping begins at the Magic Kingdom location. It is now over a year since Splash Mountain went dark in Frontierland, and, in that time, Walt Disney Imagineering has been installing and retheming the attraction to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Taking place after the events of The Princess and the Frog (2009), Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will follow familiar faces like Tiana and alligator Louis, as well as a bunch of new critters seemingly paying homage to the Br’er characters of Splash Mountain.

He and his old man built the house on the bayou to attract murderers, cheaters, and liars and kill them to maintain peace and order. However, these were futile words because the devil was a big talker with no sense of moral judgment. The film was first announced back in April (per Deadline), with Blumhouse and producing partner Epix eyeing a late 2021 launch. Over the course of two decades, Blumhouse Productions has become one of the most prominent producers of high-minded horror and thriller cinema Hollywood has ever seen. Jessica and Anna go to Vierge County's Sheriff Torres to report events, but upon returning to the site, they find the house gone and the terrain vacant – except for Jess's discarded wedding ring on the (now) field of grass.

For now, that's all we know regarding the plot of "A House on the Bayou." But rest assured the film's cast and intriguing narrative are in the capable hands of writer-director Alex McCaulay. If that name sounds familiar to you, it's probably because McCaulay wrote and directed last year's overlooked thriller "Don't Tell a Soul," which featured a knockout performance from "The Office" alum Rainn Wilson. Here's hoping "A House on the Bayou" finds McCaulay continuing to bolster his genre cred with another twisted tale of human morality run horribly amok. The council promotes art and culture for Terrebonne, Lafourche, Assumption St. James, St. Charles, and the St. John parishes.

The officer told Jessica that Issac and Grandpappy helped them to maintain order by taking care of the evildoers. Issac, or the devil, believed he was doing God’s work by serving divine retribution to sinners. In his eyes, John was accused of lying, cheating, and planning his wife’s murder. It was Issac’s court of law where he decided the fate of the evildoers. Jessica works as a real estate agent, and the owner of the house hired Jessica’s agency to sell it.

Dubbed the 'city of 88 cities', Los Angeles is a vast metropolis of A-list hangouts, buzzing beaches and boutique shopping. Here you will find entertainment galore with fun-filled theme parks, endless chic eateries, and uber-glam districts where you can star-spot til you drop. Wherever you decide to stay during Los Angeles vacations, the beaches, mountains, food, culture and sheer pizzazz of the place are undeniably alluring. Our Los Angeles vacation rentals are the perfect home-from-home during your trip. The Blumhouse production, A House on the Bayou, follows an American married couple from Houston trying to reconcile their relationship through a vacation. The eerie horror film, written and directed by Alex McAulay, explores the theme of sin and punishment.

On the ride back to the station, Torres pulls over to let the perfectly fine Isaac and Grandpappy drive by in their truck. Torres confirms that Isaac and Grandpappy are not human, they clean the town of evil-doers and sinners, and Jess should take her survival as a boon and never return to the town. John agrees to end the relationship with Vivienne, and to not tell anything about it to their daughter, Anna. He agrees to go on vacation with Jess and Anna to help mend their family.

Craftsman Suburban Houses

The typical components of a California bungalow are stucco and wood, and they frequently have shingle siding. A sloping roof, a sizeable porch with overhanging eaves, and an open floor layout are some of the distinguishing characteristics of this one-story bungalow-style home. Cottages are interchangeable terms and synonyms for smaller bungalows, but bungalows are only sometimes appropriate for larger cottages. Most cottages have modest-sized front porches, bay windows of medium to negligible proportions, shingled and stuccoed walls, and little balconies or patios just outside their back doors. Because a ranch home only has one level, it is ideal for families with younger children and senior citizens who want to make the most of their living space.

Inside L.A.’s Ultimate Mid-century Modern Home

In a split level home the foundation is usually has part concrete slab on one side of the home and a raised foundation with a crawl space or a full or partial height basement. The floor plan of a split-level home is asymmetrical, with one-half of the home having a single-story layout and the other half having a split-level layout. The bedrooms come at the top of the split, and the garage and basement are below. Additionally, there will be a lot of square and rectangular shapes throughout the design scheme. The majority of today’s new homes have floor designs that are open and airy.

Suburban House Floor Plans

Wallpaper was typically very flamboyant and brilliant during that time, and paisley and floral patterns were the most popular options for pattern types. However, you can opt to utilize accent walls in place of white to make a room stand out. In the 1960s, wood paneling was a common design element in many homes.

What Is a Suburban Style House?

A lot of people who want more access to nature choose to live in the suburbs, as many of these communities have landscapers on site to keep everything lush, green and pleasing to the eye. One of the main reasons that a lot of city dwellers move to the suburbs is to save some much-needed cash. Rent in cities is generally much more expensive than for a similarly-sized unit in the suburbs. So, signing a lease outside the city gives the typical renter more square footage for their buck. The many benefits of suburban life are what make it the most popular of all neighborhood types, especially for families and people who crave the right balance of space and convenience. There has been a lot of controversy over the years about what exactly constitutes a suburb.

The landscaping consists of manicured bushes, adding to the grandiosity. This modern-looking split-level home has a low roof pitch, several large modern windows, and a simple blue and grey color scheme. This home has a living area on the left, bedrooms on the right, and a two-car garage under the bedrooms.

Farmhouse Suburban House Ideas

While French Country Homes feel completely effortless, it takes meticulous attention to detail to achieve this look. These homes are curated of many natural features, rock exteriors, exposed wooden beams, wooden floors, tastefully weathered walls, and grand stone fireplaces in the main room or dining room. Most modern farmhouses use a lot of whites, greys, and minimalist color palettes. You’re very likely to find repurposed wood, galvanized steel, and small antique pieces such as tobacco baskets, horse harnesses, milk pails, and more.

Only a small number of suburbs have their independent legal jurisdiction. It does not apply to the suburbs inside the boundaries of the cities they are a part of. Suburban houses come in all shapes and sizes, but they all share some common characteristics. They are typically located in quiet, family-friendly neighborhoods with good schools and access to parks and recreation. They often have large yards with plenty of space for kids to play and pets to run around. And they offer a sense of community and belonging that can be hard to find in more urban areas.

The open floor plan is still top-rated, and many prefer their sofa facing a fireplace rather than a massive television. A “breezeway” is the name given to the porch included in some residences’ designs. These porches are covered by roofing and designed with windows or screens. These breezeways were frequently enclosed, with an additional door leading to the house’s exterior.

Large windows, expansive patio doors, and skylights are standard features of mid-century modern architecture, which emphasizes bringing the outdoors within as much as possible. For decor, you may find elements like little antique artifacts,  tobacco baskets, horse harnesses, milk pails, and other items. Signs, antique ads, and old product signs are things that you can frequently see as decorative elements in contemporary farmhouses. This decade saw a surge in popularity for Tuscan-inspired interior design, particularly in bathrooms. Common elements included ornate lighting, limestone tiles, and brown and bronze accent pieces. They decorated the kitchens of the 1990s with themes as diverse as an old English farmhouse and minimal concrete spaces with hidden appliances.

It is one of the classic home types many contractors repeatedly duplicate in constructing new homes. It was a style that was very much in demand throughout the decade of the 1980s. The 1980s were not the only decade in which people lived in homes equipped with contemporary conveniences and meticulously maintained lawns. On the other hand, during this period, the aspiration to “become rich” was highly prized, possibly even more so than at previous points in history (at least in the U.S.A.).

The front doors of many craftsman-style homes come with vivid colors and paintings, while the homes’ interiors have primary lines and tapered columns. A covered front porch that is sometimes efficiently integrated into the house itself is required for a home to be a “craftsman” style.

After a long and tiring day, a suburban house is the best place to take refuge. A fence encircles the suburban house, which has a beautiful contemporary design.

In response to chronic housing shortages, the federal government offered generous home loans to war veterans, and tax benefits for home ownership. Aggressive building of highway systems and the parallel rise in automobile ownership contributed to the development of communities well beyond urban centers. These and other incentives effectively jump-started the modern era of the single-family suburban home and the suburban revolution. People appreciate the abundant space of the suburbs, but unfortunately living in one can put a person quite a distance from work because fewer job opportunities live in suburban areas. This often results in a painful, traffic-ridden and costly (in terms of gasoline) commute. Many urban dwellers would rather eat paint than move out to the suburbs.

Interior designer Christina Cruz predicts integrated sinks will start to become popular in the coming months. “We are enthusiastic about integrating stone sinks to enhance the practical and aesthetic aspects of kitchens and bathrooms. The addition of a stone front apron to a kitchen sink makes a bold impact, effectively showcasing the stone's natural beauty while maximizing functionality in the space,” she says.

Geometric Shapes Design

Designers are increasingly embracing high-contrast color palettes and bold typography to make their work accessible to everyone, especially those with low vision. Think black and white with pops of color, large, easy-to-read fonts and clear hierarchy in information layout. Get ready to see this trend popping up everywhere, from social media graphics to packaging design. The scrapbooking design trend is a celebration of individuality, a rejection of sterile perfectio and a warm embrace of the imperfections that make our stories unique. Designers are also prioritizing accessibility, ensuring their visuals are usable by people with visual impairments or cognitive disabilities. This shift towards inclusivity isn’t just about trends; it’s about recognizing the power of design to build empathy, understanding and a sense of belonging in the world we share.

Graphic Design Trends 2024 – The Great Reset

This trend is an echo of the never-ending charm of handcrafted styles in a world dominated by digital precision. Doodles remind us that design doesn't have to be rigid; it can be spontaneous, free-spirited, and highly engaging. As we journey through 2024, be ready to embrace this design trend of the unpretentious and endearing world of doodles and other hand-drawn illustration styles, where every line drawn is a unique stroke of imagination and character. These hand-drawn, often whimsical, and spontaneous illustrations add a touch of human personality to brands. Doodles infuse designs with a sense of authenticity as if the artist's hand is still at work.

How to emphasize your brand is modern, innovative, and maybe even a bit futuristic? Maybe not the most innovative way of doing this but the use of pixels is something we’re seeing more and more of nowadays. These tiny, square building blocks of design are taking on a new life and purpose, offering a unique blend of nostalgia and modernity. The art of using pixels is no longer confined to retro video games as it's now a creative choice for web design, animation, illustration, and branding. While the English and French countryside will never lose their charm, the #cottagecore aesthetic is feeling a bit tired.

Swiss company DeSede, meanwhile, unveiled its new DS-888 Collina, a 'modular seating landscape' by Atelier Oi, imagined for an 'elegant and dynamic lifestyle,' and available in a multitude of compositions (and colours). The more classic end of the spectrum included Molteni & C's Augusto by Vincent Van Duysen, revisited this year from a relatively compact sofa to a multifunctional system that included this semi-circular version. Cosmopolitan participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites. Inspired by the Testa di Moro ceramics, la Testa di Marmi is a reinterpretation of the icon that has adorned Sicilian balconies for centuries. 001TDM is the result of Berenice Curt’s fascination with the head in all its shapes and artistic expressions, and is seen here exhibited in the Garden of Villa Borsani, Alcova.

Clean Luxury

Peer’s Enni armchair marks a bit of a departure for the storied Italian brand, with its low seat and subtle yet striking curves. However, be sure to integrate functional elements in this quiet luxury style. As usual, most of the mega-trends are smoothly transferred from the previous year. This applies to geometric shapes, calm illustrations, and simple infographics. Unexpectedly, classical serif fonts and muted colors returned to their former majesty.

We all recognize that an accessible and inclusive digital world should be the status quo. If a trend driven by socially conscious designers and developers is the impulse we need to move in the right direction, then so be it! The growing awareness around equal representation in graphic design and the commitment to make the web objectively accessible to all are trends we can all get behind. Modern software tools have made it possible to create high-quality, moving images that can be used for both indoor and outdoor advertising easier than ever before. Now you can see small billboards at bus stops, outside of a mall, or randomly placed in a city square. Brands don’t need a million-dollar budget anymore to show their brand in motion.

It can expedite our work, provide inspiration, and enable us to create things previously impossible. For example, Nutella created a fresh campaign with 7 million unique package designs(image above), which couldn’t have been possible without the assistance of AI. “In a turning point from what we've seen in the last couple years, brands are back to being intentionally maximalist,” she adds. “Gone are the Instagram aesthetic days of minimalist perfection, as we've completely pulled back the curtain to expose how things get made. This year, with the rise of generative AI tooling in everyday creative use, I expect we'll see a new aesthetic that blends maximalism with surrealism. John Owens, creative director at Instruct Studio agrees that going forward success can be found in selecting the right tools to enhance work.

“Deep saturated navy blues are moving over to make way for tranquil ocean blues, and by the end of 2024, expect to see more sea glass green too,” she says. "Maybe it is the ‘quiet luxury’ effect, but I anticipate a trend toward relaxed and casual luxury, specifically when it comes to furniture," says Jen Samson of Jen Samson Design. "Clients will lean more towards comfortable, lived-in furniture rather than smooth clean, and sterile looks." "From back kitchens, additional wet bars, to butler’s pantries, I expect more and more homeowners to create extensions of their kitchens with secondary spaces," says Matt.

Cork is "such a strong and interesting material for the home," Burrow shares. "We were seeing this everywhere—in fabric and in wallcoverings. Again, [we're seeing] a constant return to natural materials that nod to nature in the home." Everyday writer and a weekend baker, Krystle is a content marketer and brand strategist with experience in media, tech and SaaS.

Similar to gradients, patterns, a captivating graphic design trend in 2024, are a great way to bring character to a design. From intricate geometrics to playful florals, designers are embracing patterns to add depth, character, and a touch of nostalgia to their creations. In today's digital age, patterns connect us to tradition while allowing for endless creative exploration. They offer a canvas for storytelling, from minimalistic elegance to vibrant whimsy.

Custom features and personalized elements initially gained prominence at European design shows, but Parker says this trend is showing up in the most popular U.S. photos on Houzz. “Handmade tiles, custom bathroom vanities, and other bespoke elements, create a feeling that the homeowner has something truly unique and special,” he says. Some colors may increase your home’s selling price, but always expect to see blue in any reputable color collection. In fact, Parker says many paint companies are choosing blue as the color of 2024. “Whether it’s a sky-inspired hue or a deep watery color, look for an array of blues to be featured more prominently in decorative materials and housewares in the coming year,” he says.

Barbie Pink and candy colors are a graphic design trend that features dopamine-boosting color choices like magenta pink (the OG Barbie Pink) and other extremely saturated hues. On the total opposite of soft aesthetics, the use of striking and arresting colors makes for some pretty avant-garde artwork. Custom brand artwork is a graphic design trend that features custom logotypes, branded illustrations, and other digital artwork that’s tailored to a brand’s distinct identity and aesthetics. Going a step above the standard practice of following branding guidelines for all of their assets, this graphic design trend is all about establishing unmistakable brand recognition. Pixel displays and dot graphics are a graphic design trend that features intentionally pixelated graphics, dot patterns, and visual compositions that give a nostalgia-filled nod to our digital past.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes into the vibrant world of design, it's an exciting time to be part of this ever-changing industry. For 2024, people are on the search for unique items that will help their space stand out, and nothing quite makes that statement like the addition of unique materials. As Burrow shares, these creations can come in all types of variations from a lamp base to a stand-alone piece of furniture. Our editors learn something new each time we head to markets and design shows. We'll often see a color, material, artisanal technique, or type of furniture in a new light—and we cannot get it out of our minds.

A Maine Coone tabby cat will likely be big, given that breed’s typical size. Expect an American Curl tabby, on the other hand, to potentially be 10 pounds or less. The Classic Tabby has stripes on their face and head, with swirls of darker color on a lighter base throughout the body. These swirls are usually quite random and resemble a marble cake. The ticked tabby has contrasting dark and light bands of colour on each hair. The tabby pattern occurs in twelve colours which are black based or red based and their dilutes and dilute modifiers which change the shape of the melanin granules or make them clump together.

Now we know how tabby cats get their stripes

The care of a tabby will largely depend on its breed rather than its coat pattern. For instance, a Maine coon tabby will require more brushing, coat care, and possibly hairball medication than a Manx tabby. When it comes to exercise, an Ocicat will need a lot more room to play than a Persian tabby. Talk with your vet to learn more about your specific tabby cat's care needs, including grooming, exercise, and training. Again, because tabby is a coat pattern rather than a breed it’s hard to make broad statements. Some of the most expensive tabby breeds are the American Wirehair, the Scottish Fold, and the Norwegian Forest Cat.

Classic Orange Tabby Cat

American Curl cats have soft, silky coats and friendly temperaments – they also tend to form strong bonds with their owners. Another factor that can affect a cat’s behavior is if it’s been neutered or spayed. Neutering significantly reduces the occurrences of roaming because cats no longer need to find a mate. It can also reduce urine marking and aggression towards other cats.

Mackerel tabby

A wholesome cat food, dried and/or canned, is generally a great option for feeding tabbies of any breed. However, research your specific cat breed to find out if they have any unique dietary requirements, and ask your vet for recommendations. Monitor the amount of food your cat eats daily to prevent obesity and other health issues.

The Tabby’s Place Guardian Angel Program offers cat owners a way to ensure the well-being of their cats in the event that they can no longer care for them. Since 2011, Tabby’s Place has conducted TNR locally as our capacity allows. In addition to conducting the basics described above, Tabby’s Place provides medical care for each cat we trap, including dental and wound care. In this way, we’re saving community cats from years of lonely pain.

Cat owners desiring more to love need look no further than the Maine coon, the largest domestic cat breed out there. Standing tall beneath their signature pointy ears and a coat of pure floof, their imposing size is no more than a mirage. Gentle giants at heart, Maine coons love staying close to their family—though, thankfully for your lap, they aren't typically lap cats. Maine coons often sport mackerel tabby coats, which, tabby or not, require monthly if not weekly bathing to stay silky and smooth.

The Abyssinian tabby is generally a friendly and affectionate breed but also quite active. These tabbies require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to prevent them from getting bored and exhibiting destructive behaviors. The adoption fee is $150 All cats are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. We will need a $25 non-refundable deposit to put a hold on the cat of your choice.

These cats are highly intelligent and can be trained more easily than other breeds. They also tend to be quite affectionate and love to spend time with their owners. American Bobtails are also quite interactive and form strong bonds with family. These cats have a playful side – they love to play games with their owners – and they have strong hunting instincts. This breed is generally fairly quiet, though many chirp, trill, or click when they get excited.

The Genesis

So, many cats of different breeds can also be referred to as tabby cats. Barsh’s team now sees cat color-pattern production as a two-step process. First, skin cells determine if the tabby patterns will be dark or light. A tabby cat has certain patterns in their coat, and you’ll often find an M-shaped marking on their forehead. In addition to their range of colors, their fur may also have spots, stripes and whorls (circular patterns).

The term “agouti” refers to hair that has alternating bands of light and dark color – this produces a speckled or “salt and pepper” appearance. From black tabby cats to cream tabby cats; tabbies with stripes to tabbies with swirls; their appearance varies from one feline to the next. The gene that determines tabby characteristics is found across all domestic cats. That may sound surprising, given that some cats appear to be one solid color. Look closely in the right light, however, and you’ll likely find subtle tabby patterns.

Wish you could learn more about the genes that make your cat special? What makes a tabby really stand out, however, is the distinctive M-shaped marking on the forehead. Many people refer to their cats as tabbies without really knowing what the term means. We are partnered with an animal rescue, Almost Home, that rescues all of their cats from kill shelters, the streets, poor living environments, etc.  We do NOT take any cats in. Our cats that currently live here are settled into their environment and would like to spend all of their time with you, not more cats!

These tabbies have a combination of tabby patches which are darker in coloration than the rest of the body. A common example of a bi-color orange tabby is an orange tabby cat with pure white patches. All cats are beautiful, but orange tabby cats are known for their colorful coats and unique pattern. The term tabby refers to the combination of stripes, spots, and swirls which cover the cat’s body.

The complete process takes about an average of 3-5 days, but sometimes it can take a little longer. Currently, Tabby’s Place’s TNR work is limited to our six surrounding townships (East Amwell, West Amwell, Delaware, Raritan, Lambertville and Flemington). If you need assitance with community cats in one of these areas, please contact Danielle Rice at dr@tabbysplace.org to get on our waiting list for TNR assistance.

Because these spots vary in shape and size, they often resemble broken mackerel tabby stripes. It’s unclear whether the spotted tabby was developed from the broken mackerel tabby or if it has unique genetics. Though every tabby cat is different, there are certain types of markings most cats with this coat pattern tend to exhibit. Most tabbies have stripes across their faces, along their backs, and on their legs and tail. What do famous cats like Garfield, Morris, and Milo have in common? The orange tabby cat is not a breed, but it is certainly one of the most iconic (and some would say cutest) cats out there.

The other side of the same coin as those decorative storage boxes these cabinets are more evidence of the quest to just put everything away and live in an uncluttered space. If you're in the process of doing up your home then these trends highlighted by experts are worth taking a look at. It’s important to note that the new realm of creativity that stems from the collaboration between human ingenuity and AI conceptualization is still in its infancy. The human experience, and the genuine realities of human existence, will forever be more impressive than anything that AI can create based on training data. Another way to do this, according to Scheck, is through wall murals, which can add sophistication to a living room and lots of fun to a nursery or child's room.

Cold Steel and Aluminum – In a softer way

Stay ahead of the design curve with this guide to 2024 graphic design trends, from the impact of AI on the graphic design industry to a revival of classically elegant style in line with fashion’s penchant for quiet luxury. We’ve ridden the waves of 1970s revivals, wall-to-wall carpeting, the rise and fall of the Ultrafragola, and bouclé upholstery. When we type “interior design trends 2024” into our crystal balls (or indeed, into Google) what are we likely to find? For many designers, the last month of the year is very busy, and creating up-to-date designs is increasingly difficult.

A Pause From Technology

This aesthetic oozes unleashed energy, as ink trails and splotches create an emotive feeling of movement. Its slapped-together also echoes the hurriedly edited videos younger audiences view on TikTok. Parametric patterns consist of intricate geometric structures, wherein each line morphs depending on its relative positions. Although they are rooted in geometry, these patterns are fluid and three-dimensional, giving them a sense of movement as opposed to architectural rigidity. In the designs of 2022, parametric patterns are being used to represent the complexity of their subject matter, be it human communication or identity. Last year, we witnessed designers escaping stay-at-home orders through imaginative forays into the natural world.

You can also get those “pixels” moving with SVG animation without losing any of the retro charm, and best of all, without increasing your final file’s size. While text is primarily used to convey a message, designers are pushing the limits on how far they can go to put some extra character into those letterforms. All in all, the trends that our style team forecasts for 2024 are uniquely intertwined with the need for individuality and personality when it comes to the spaces in which we live. Sometimes the trends we see at market are an amalgamation of the bold design choices of the past. In this instance, soft curves act as a happy medium between straight lines and over-rounded compositions. To nail the trend in your own design projects, begin with a bundle of Art Nouveau vector elements to give your labels and layouts a suitably ornate border, before bringing in modern Nouveau fonts for a finishing touch.

Soft Curves

Bolder minimalism is a graphic design trend that features the simple and clean lines of traditional minimalism, paired with bold, striking elements that are guaranteed to have a massive visual impact. The bold design attribute of this trend can come in a variety of forms, like bold color accents atop ample white space or captivating animation transitions balanced out by crisp and clean typography (like Helvetica). AI graphics are a graphic design trend that features the use of artificial intelligence algorithms to generate, alter, or reimagine graphic elements.

Since the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, brands have been scrambling to bring their designs to the backyard. Now, though, there are some prevailing themes to be found among the latest batch. In particular, there seems to be renewed emphasis on bringing rounded sofas, armchairs, and even cocktail tables outside, continuing the trend of kidney bean–shaped furniture that’s been persistent throughout the last few years. At the Salone del Mobile fair, for instance, Dedon previewed new, curvy chairs from the likes of Stephen Burks, Claudio Bellini, and many others, pairing these voluptuous silhouettes with signature colorful synthetic weaves. Meridiani showed new, curvaceous outdoor lounge chairs at its booth as well at the fair.

Wavy wood

Virtual reality (VR) became more popular in 2020 during the quarantine period. And now, virtual reality is a hit for user interface design on both iOS and Android. This interactive and immersive experience is currently only available on mobile devices. Not so long ago, a new term “japandi” appeared in the English-language designers’ dictionary.

Modern natural

We are subsequently filled with inspiration that informs the pages of our magazine and website for months to come. This trend resonates with the growing emphasis on mindfulness and well-being. Nature-inspired textures, like rough wood grain or delicate watercolor washes, add a touch of tactile richness, further blurring the lines between the digital and the physical world. Spotify’s “Equal” initiative on the other hand, not only promotes gender equality in music. Their branding uses contrasting colors, ensuring accessibility for all users. Spotify designers also avoid relying solely on color to convey information, using additional cues like iconography and text descriptions.

Airbnb’s 2023 “Live There” campaign used a warm and inviting color palette of coral, ochre and teal. They use high contrast between foreground and background elements, making the content readable for people with visual impairments. Its marketing campaign embraced the show’s retro 80s aesthetic with neon colors, bold typography and layered visual elements. Posters, billboards and even physical pop-up installations transported fans back to the world of Hawkins in a maximalist way. This trend isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about evoking emotions, fostering connections and inviting you to peek into the designer’s personal scrapbook of inspiration.

Another highlight at Milan Design Week was De Padova, which showcased a new outdoor collection, Afternoons, that resembled the look and feel of curved woven baskets. The fashion uses images of real people with their own characteristics, flaws, and uniqueness.If there’s one thing that designers should avoid, it’s sameness. Highlighting different cultures, skin tones, ages, and identities presents an exciting opportunity to create designs that, like authentic people, are truly one-of-a-kind and attract the most attention. Stay up-to-date on the latest web, logo, packaging and other graphic design trends. “Last year saw a lot more natural materials in furniture and cabinetry, particularly a rise of all-wood kitchen cabinets (not the gross ‘90s version).

Whether an immersive website, augmented reality filter, virtual reality experience, engaging graphic elements in a physical space or tactile experiments with printed items, exciting opportunities abound. In Milan, Salone del Mobile—the world’s biggest design trade fair—and the city’s broader design week, provides the perfect moment to take a trends temperature check. In fact, ELLE DECOR editors fanned out across the Italian design capital to take stock of what’s new and what trends seem to have staying power. We’ve also spoken to a roster of ELLE DECOR A-List designers and industry experts to reveal some surprising—and not so surprising—home design directions set to unfold this year—and beyond. Although cooler tones have run their course, Mastrangeli believes the color palette will still be light and bright.
