How To Decorate A Victorian Living Room | Victorian House

The 21st-Century crafters have received their toughest set of challenges so far. Concentrating on the communal areas of the house they have to craft from scratch a heavy metal weather vane, and a decorative mirror, write, publish and print their own Arts and Crafts magazine and create a decorative pergola for the front of the house.

The crafters tackle the dining room in their creative communal home; leaving behind their 21st-century tools and techniques, they are set to craft from scratch a set of Tondino plates, a complete set of curtains, and a pair of ornamental fire dogs.

In this landmark living history series, a late 1800s Victorian arts and crafts commune in the Welsh hills has been painstakingly brought back to life as a group of 21st-century crafters move in to experience the highs and lows of living and working together as a creative commune. Anita Rani is joined by internationally renowned potter Keith Brymer Jones and arts and crafts expert and dealer Patch Rogers as the six crafters are faced with the challenge of breathing life back into the Victorian bedroom.

​​More and more elderly Americans will be faced with the decision as to whether to spend their later years in assisted living facilities, which have sprung up as an alternative to nursing homes. But is this loosely regulated, multi-billion dollar industry putting seniors at risk? (Aired 2013) In this major 2013 investigation with ProPublica, FRONTLINE examines the operations of the nation’s largest assisted living company, raising questions about the drive for profits and fatal lapses in care. Assisted living started in the 1980s as a reaction to nursing homes, which had become more oriented toward hospitalization, and as a way of offering seniors more choices and more independence in the way they live. But over the years, assisted living has evolved to house seniors who need specialized care, such as those with memory impairments. That means that people have more needs, require more attention — and, some senior advocates argue, more or better regulations to ensure that the residents are safe and getting the quality of care they need. FRONTLINE is produced at GBH in Boston and is broadcast nationwide
