My Favourite Room: ‘Our house is the house to come to for a cocktail,’ say istil 38 founder Shane Davey and wife Fiona

For the last 20 years or so, it’s been pretty standard for people who have just graduated to head off for a gap year. The most popular destination has been Australia, and most come back having seen the wonders of that vast country: the great Barrier Reef, Byron Bay, Cairns and Uluru.

Darren Kennedy: What is the ‘dopamine decor’ trend and how can you use it to style your home happy this autumn?

The trends for autumn are all incredibly cheerful. From bright floral bedspreads to rainbow motifs on welcome mats, it seems we are trying to insulate ourselves from the encroaching darkness of winter by decorating ourselves happy. It makes sense. Our homes are supposed to be our happy place. Walking across the threshold should be a relief.

Diarmuid Gavin: My favourite late performers to enjoy in autumn

Yesterday, we passed through the September Equinox, a date when day and night are almost equal. Astronomically, it marks the end of the summer and the beginning of autumn. Nature will respond by getting ready for its winter dormancy, and there are hints that the foliage of deciduous trees and shrubs are taking on some autumnal hues.

The original Derry Girl and a major modern artist

In 1939, the Irish artist Norah McGuinness witnessed a moment in history. She was on a bus that passed by a luxury department store on New York’s Fifth Avenue, when she saw the artist Salvador Dali being ejected from the store by a policeman. There was shattered glass and water on the sidewalk.

Mark Keenan Opinion Those selling homes need to cut expectations in the midst of already peak property prices

The latest data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) confirms that Irish property prices have officially now inched above their April 2007 peak; just before everything went pear-shaped.

Ask the expert: I’d like to sell my home to pay off my granddaughter’s college debt but want to be fair to everyone

I have a granddaughter who lives in America with my son and daughter-in-law. My other two grandchildren live in Ireland and obviously I get to see them more often, and this is a source of great joy to me as I lost my wife some years ago. However, I feel guilt over this girl as a result and was shocked recently to learn that she is carrying college loans of well over €25,000 (even after President Biden’s recent intervention on student debt) which may not permit her to carry on her education. I would like to help. My home is my only real asset but it is valued at around €800,000. If I were to sell it, something I have been long considering, what would I be permitted to offer this girl now, and can I leave a similar amount after I’m gone to the others who are not yet teenagers? I want to be fair.
