The Hawaii resident was referencing an image showing a before-and-after of what appears to be an antique, which had been painted over. Unsurprisingly, Twitter users were quick to share their thoughts, with most people asking for a name: “Who is this I want to yell at them pls give me an @.” Another person wrote : “They repainted an antique, a piece of history, in black and bloody vomit color,” while someone else said, “Just paint over culture and make it boring and average ok.” “It’s a...

The sound of fresh paint being brushed onto wood panels is muffled by conversation at one of six workstations, where empty paint buckets are repurposed for organizational use — holding sandpaper, pencils, scissors and other craft supplies. Here people meet and mingle while creating a personal piece of art. That is exactly what owner Julie Alveari, of Bellmore, envisioned would happen when she opened the studio in June. She discovered the boutique workshop chain while researching possible activities for a girls’ night out. After visiting the Port Washington location, Alveari fell in love with the concept. “You’re not just picking a product off a shelf and painting it,” she said. “You’re actually creating a piece of art from raw materials all the way to the finish.” With more than 100 franchises across the country, and three on Long Island, AR Workshop offers patrons hands-on sessions in w...

appearance by Angela Rockwood. In Refinery29’s Sweet Digs , we take a look inside the sometimes small, sometimes spacious homes of millennial women. Today, 44-year-old Angela shows off her four-bedroom house in Los Angeles. When Angela Rockwood first walked into her Spanish-style home, just outside of Los Angeles’ famed Miracle Mile, she knew she had to have it. Then, shortly after purchasing it, she was in an automobile accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down. From that point forward, she became a wheelchair user. Luckily, she says, her house has wide enough doors and hallways that she was able to get by with minor renovations to make it accessible.
