color profusion

Nothing like a shot of design team, John Loecke + Jason Oliver Nixon's color filled spaces to make a regular old Thursday a little more exciting.  These guys are color, warriors.....

a papered ceiling is always, so the best.

 

Lo and behold.

 

ok, one more Swedish stylist. I didn't even google this one to see who else has blogged about Lo Bjurulf.

 

 I'm sure many. I don't care though, I figure those of you who have had
the, "winter of everyone's discontent", could use this color shot .

 

 A visual boost of vitamin D.  wowza. Jolly Ranchers, pink hearts and yellow moons. The colors are delicious.

 really planning on doing this tall lemon tree thing + lettuce on the table look.

 

 paint the walls, paint, the radiator covers, paint the moulding, hell...paint the ceilings. but don't paint the floors. that would be over kill.

I'm captivated. Sort of a Stockholm Syndrome kind of thing going on I think.

A touch of pink - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

design crisis

upon a fold

 Every year my friend, Patricia ( aka Mrs. Blandings ),  puts out the call to bloggers to post pink for the month of October, as it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many of you know, my mother-in-law Sally, fought hard against Breast Cancer, but in the end lost. She left behind two young sons, on the brink of manhood.



As  a child, my husband, lived with the effects of cancer and the ravages it can have on one's body and  the lives of those around it.  Being the amazing, person that he is, he has made it his goal in life to take on Cancer in the way he takes on everything- proactively and with positivity.  By educating others and giving hope to the children whose lives have been effected by it, he is facing it with strength and love.



If you live in  Southern California,  Walk With Sally is a unique and uplifting, mentoring  program. It's a place for families to unite,  get information and be a part of a supporting community.



Early detection is key. Please take it upon yourself, to get educated and proactive in this fight.  More information is available at the National Cancer Institute and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
