eat in bed

oh....F F F yeah.

I don't really like profanity. But I had to put something in here that would describe my mood when I saw this visual......

IT IS INCREDIBLE.

I pretty much lifted out of my chair to say, "WOW". Like, very much "WOW".

The place is called, "Home Made". And it is a restaurant located in Milan, Italy and designed to look like a real home yet serving as a restaurant.

Owner Monica Bangari, together with the brilliant architects Riccardo Salvi and Luca Rossire created a space that would bring a luscious, fresh vibe while eating Italian food at its best.

Inside Home Made, there is a little garden designed by landscape architect Carlo Callari of Milan's ARePA studios. The elegantly made chairs are designed by Patricia Urquiola.

This is exactly what makes me miss the world outside of here. In Buenos Aires, anywhere I went...whether it was 100 years old, or built more recently, there was many many ingeniously designed places like this and in Madrid there were also so many creative spaces that I could just walk around for hours admiring all the architecture and design.

Take me back Earth! Soon please!

In need of some privacy? Front of the house....


Back of the house...


What do you think?

Into clean lines and congruity? Then take a look at this townhouse/city home.

An alternate way of "closeting", or displaying your wardrobe differently instead of hung up...

May be..? I think so.

The entry way of an Italian ceramists' home, Salvi Fausto living in Brescia, Italy. Are those really shrubs of green just floating off onto the edge of another building? ....I think it is. Miraculous.


It is no surprise considering the type of art work he does, check it here.

More pictures of Fausto's home, here.

This was part of the top loft bedroom inside a renovated home near the Belgian coast...it looks amazing, look at those windows that looks down to the first floor...

...if I can have a bed & breakfast when I get older, I think I will have one. The idea is incredible, and there are so many possibilities of making it the best one!

Battle on Mont Ventoux

Great picture of the top of the summit of Mont Ventoux, the famous climb of Tour de France.

On a Thursday, I see...

Love these pure, spacious homes.




The two photos above are from inside the home of skateboarder & musician for Space Vacation, Jay Shapiro and interior designer, Claire Bigbie located in San Francisco. Their style is remarkable.

These cyclists traveled for three days in Provence, France just in town for a wedding. They went along with this "DIY" cyclist tour, called Cyclomundo that offers trips not only in France, but in Spain, Italy, and Switzerland. The idea is simple, a guided or self-guided bicycle tour, very different from your "common" too-heavily guided tour companies. Too read the full story, go here. Traveling on wheels? Is on my dream list for sure. Especially, in Spain.

How beautiful is this morning haze lying on top of the tropical vegetation surrounding Pearl Lagoon in Nicaragua.


What do you guys think about Regina Spektor? Her voice is lovely...


MoMA just did a full length banner photograph in New York of staff members, friends, family...anyone who wanted to volunteer! To be put on along 53rd street's fence...How awesome would it be to be in this!

Melinda Beck is one of the few that rejected Google's offer to have her art work exposed on their new Web browser. Without a doubt, Google is exposed to millions of people each single day. A company who makes million of dollars should have no problem compensating their artists for contributing their work on their Google image. But that isn't the case for Google. Google's new web browser is based off their previous web browser, iGoogle, a personalized home page where common artists have contributed their work to be used as skins whom included Jeff Koons, Bob Dylan and Gucci. With such an exciting opportunity for artists' work to be exposed to millions, Google believes that even without monetary compensation, it is still a really unique experience and it should be taken just as that. Melinda, who graduated in 89' from Rhode Island School of Design has had tremendous amount of exposure with her work including inside publications such as Newsweek, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and Time Magazine. Artists, especially now in our economy want to get paid for their art work to be exposed. Though, an opportunity like this for any recent fine art graduate would be overwhelmed with excitement and probably thrilled about getting any type of recognition for their work. There are so many amazing young artists that don't have any opportunities like these. There should be a random selection on young art students around the states to be included in an opportunity like Google's.
Something with such valuable exposure would definitely have a positive affect on so many different young starving artists and the ability for them to get going in their creative career. As of now, Google is continuing to work on their new web browser's project with artists that have previously worked with known publications such as Rolling Stone, Newsweek and The New York Times.
