The Nationality Rooms are a collection of 27 classrooms in the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning depicting and donated by the ethnic groups that helped build the City of Pittsburgh. The rooms are designated as a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation historical landmark and are located on the 1st and 3rd floors of the Cathedral of Learning, itself a national historic landmark [1][2], on the University of Pittsburgh's main campus in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Although of museum caliber, twenty-five of the 27 rooms are in almost constant use as functional classrooms and utilized daily by University of Pittsburgh faculty and students, while the other two are display rooms which can be explored only via guided tour. The Nationality Rooms also serve in a vigorous program of intercultural involvement and exchange in which the original organizing committees for the individual rooms remain as participants and includes a program of annual student scholarship to facilitate study abroad.[3] In addition, the Nationality Rooms inspire lectures, seminars, concerts exhibitions and social events which focus on the various heritages and traditions of the nations represented. The various national, traditional and religious holidays of the nations represented are celebrated on campus and the rooms are appropriately decorated to reflect these occasions. Virtual Tours of the existing rooms are available on the Nationality Rooms official web site.

How to Decorate a Home Office in Victorian Style

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Canvas Floor Cloths
• Tassels
• Oriental-style Area Rugs

• Chairs
• Curtains
• Desk Chairs
• Desk Lamps
• Desks
• File Cabinets
• Framed Mirrors
• Marble-topped Tables
• Nightstands
• Pictures
• Wastebaskets
• Chairs
• Pictures

Step1
Modify a Victorian-era kneehole desk by hinging the lap drawer's front - the drawer can then pull out as a platform for the computer keyboard. Or select a reproduction style, such as a rolltop desk with cubbyholes for the telephone and computer equipment as well as a keyboard tray.
Step2
Choose a chair with comfort as your first priority. Depending on how frequently you use the home office, you may want either an antique wooden office chair that tilts backward, a recent reproduction or a modern-style office chair.
Step3
Reduce the clutter usually found in Victorian rooms, which would be distracting in the office environment. This includes the pictures and mirrors (Victorian favorites) on the wall; select just a few favorite pieces, which may be in elaborate frames with gold curlicues.
Step4
Put a low-pile Oriental-style rug on the floor (make sure your chair can roll on it). A painted canvas floor cloth is another option - it could be a trompe l'oeil Oriental motif with faux tassels or a design evocative of a needlepoint-floral look.
Step5
Dress a window with a swag treatment, possibly with a tasseled cord draped in front of the swag, and then use companion tassels as tiebacks for the curtains. Curtain fabrics include velvet, damask and lace.
Step6
Stash metal file cabinets in a larger cabinet or closet. Or buy a file cabinet that fits Victorian styling, such as one with a hand-painted Asian or floral motif, or use a wicker file box.
Step7
Set the printer or fax machine on a petite marble-topped night table or carved occasional table if your desk won't hold all the equipment.
Step8
Light the desktop and room adequately. A banker's lamp (brass with a green-glass shade) works well on desks; ceiling-fixture options include multibulb styles, with faceted-crystal or frosted-glass shades.
