Where the wild things are...

I found this old photo and it made me smile. I took it back in early April when M and I went to Santa Barbara for his birthday. I'm not sure what it was doing on the ground in the middle of the night, but I had to stop and snap a photo of it while we were on the way to a club.

When Design Meets Life.

Last week, I walked passed an office building with huge walls of windows. Through the windows, I spotted these two lovely little quotes and immediately pulled out my camera for a couple of photos. They're great quotes that apply to both home design and life.

Quote 1:

"Plan your EXIT like you plan your ENTRANCE."

"

 

So true, isn't it?! In design, it's the last impression given just before a person leaves. In life, people are so preoccupied with "making an entrence" but do they put the same emphasis and effort on "making an exit"? Either way, it's the last thing people see. Will they leave with a positive feeling or a negative feeling? Just a thought to consider.

 

Second quote:

"Plan

1. Define space"

I have no idea what the next steps are, but number one is so important! Define the space, set the boundaries. Critical in home design, critical in life.

A Tartan Tale at The Grove

Here are some photos from The Grove that I took and forgot to post about. The Grove had little show put on by MAC called 'A Tartan Tale'.





These next two photos are from the window of Forever 21. I want these letter signs for my house, especially the "L".





And here is the beautiful Anthropologie window display. [I secretly also want that reindeer to decorate my house for the holidays as well!]

Dogs not down with the iPad.

Cat plays with iPad.

I love this. Now if only I had an iPad that Spunky could play with!

Dogs take the subway, Cats take the bus.

No, not Spunky. I'm too paranoid to let her out.

Click here to read this article about stray dogs taking the subway. And this article talks about a cat that regularly frequented the same bus route.

Need a good laugh?

This is a hilarious video. I was a little confused in the beginning. Then laughed out loud towards the end when I realized what it was about. I don't want to give it away, so just watch it.

This video was sent to me by my Thea Brenda.
