The Captain Frederick Pabst Mansion project

We just received these photos of our Pabst sample on loom. It’s very encouraging to finally see this design take on a three-dimensional life.

This sample is being woven of Himalayan wool using the Tibetan cut-loop weaving technique. Making a sample, sometimes referred to as a “hand trial” or “strikeoff”, is often part of the process of creating a custom carpet. This allows us to confirm the color choices and color matching, and provide a more accurate representation of the look and feel of the finished carpet.

NOTE: We’re keeping all the information on our Pabst Mansion project in one post, with dates noted. When we have new information, the post date will change to the most current update.


February 2009: We are finally entering the production phase. The design phase lasted longer than any of us anticipated as we interpreted, drafted, reviewed, and changed the various elements. Having three opinionated professionals on this job (Gail, John, Tracy) is enjoyable and stimulating, but obviously entails extensive communication.

We ended up with fifteen colors in this carpet, primarily shades of green and gold. Now a small sample is being woven to check for color; after the colors are approved, we’ll be ready to roll!


Exploring Pills Specifically Designed for Quick Belly Fat Burning

In the quest to shed stubborn belly fat, many people turn to specialized pills that are specifically designed to target and burn abdominal adipose tissue. These unique formulations offer accelerated results in reducing waist circumference and overall body weight. Let’s dive into some options that prioritize rapid belly fat burning ndtv.

Belly Fat Burner Pills: A Powerful Tool for Weight Loss

Belly fat burner pills have gained popularity as a convenient and effective way to tackle stubborn belly fat. These supplements contain a combination of ingredients that work synergistically to enhance metabolism, increase energy expenditure, and promote fat oxidation. By targeting the abdominal area, these pills aim to accelerate the breakdown of stored fat, leading to a slimmer waistline.

Pros:

Convenient and easy-to-use option for individuals looking to lose belly fat.

Can provide an extra boost in weight loss efforts when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Some formulations may also offer additional benefits such as appetite suppression or increased energy levels.

Cons:

Results may vary from person to person, depending on factors like genetics, lifestyle choices, and overall health.

It is important to choose reputable brands and consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.

While these pills can be helpful, they should not be seen as a magic solution; sustainable weight loss requires a holistic approach.

Keto Diet Pills: Harnessing the Power of Ketosis

Keto diet pills have gained popularity due to the success of the ketogenic diet in promoting weight loss. These pills typically contain exogenous ketones that help induce ketosis – a metabolic state where the body burns stored fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. By promoting ketosis, these pills can aid in burning stubborn belly fat more efficiently.

Pros:

Can help jumpstart ketosis or maintain it during periods when it may be challenging to adhere strictly to the ketogenic diet.

May provide increased mental clarity and focus, along with improved energy levels.

Can be a useful tool for individuals following a ketogenic lifestyle or looking to incorporate elements of the keto diet into their routine.

Cons:

It is important to follow a well-formulated ketogenic diet alongside these pills for optimal results.

Some individuals may experience side effects such as digestive discomfort or an electrolyte imbalance when starting a ketogenic regimen.

As with any dietary supplement, it is crucial to choose high-quality products from reputable brands.

CBD Diet Pills: A Unique Approach to Fat Burning

CBD (cannabidiol) diet pills are another option that has gained attention in recent years. These pills combine the potential benefits of CBD with other ingredients known for their fat-burning properties. While research on CBD’s direct impact on weight loss is still limited, some studies suggest that it may help regulate appetite and improve metabolism.

Pros:

CBD has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may aid in weight loss efforts by reducing inflammation in the body.

Can potentially help manage stress and improve sleep quality, which are both important factors in maintaining a healthy weight.

May offer additional benefits such as pain relief or mood regulation.

Cons:

More research is needed to fully understand the relationship between CBD and weight loss.

It is essential to choose CBD products from reputable sources that undergo third-party testing for quality and purity.

As with any dietary supplement, individual experiences may vary.

Original post, 2007

star-medallion.gifWe’re working with historic preservation expert Gail Winkler to reproduce a hand-knotted carpet for the Regency Room bedroom (a/k/a “Emma’s room”) in the Flemish Renaissance Revival Frederick Pabst mansion in Milwaukee, WI. The painstaking restoration of the room includes uncovering the original lincrusta on the ceiling, and working with Scalamandre to reproduce the window treatments.

The only documentation we have of the original carpet is the visual reference provided by black & white photographs from 1902. The photos were originally taken with a wide-angle lens, and some areas of the photographs are overexposed. This makes it quite a challenge to determine the scale, size, and shape of some of the design elements as we try to replicate the original carpet.

In April 2007 we made a trip to Milwaukee to inspect the architectural detail of the Regency Room, particularly the mantel and the restored ceiling. This really paid off, and provided us with a plethora of ideas to present to Gail Winkler and the Mansion’s architectural historian, John Eastberg.

    What a cool project for you, Tracy! My daughter and I toured the Pabst Mansion during a college visit to Marquette a few years ago. It was one of the best “old mansion” tours we’ve ever done (and, we’ve done a few!) Well worth a visit for anyone going to Milwaukee.
