hola again.  happy end of august almost september/where the fuck has the time gone.

 Been working a lot.  A LOT.  

But been also finding time for last minute summer activities before this weather goes away.  

Camping, parties, love, fun.  Those last 3 things happen year around.

Oh, and I was introduced to Manwolfs.

And staying busy.  I got to meet Reynolds! 

Installation work by me, Blanca Martinez, and Megan Bingham with Madprops.

Emerica was at 35th North Skateshop the other day.  And yes I did go- not get a stupid autograph, but to make photo.  Old Skateboarder crush---Andrew Reynolds is considered a legend to little kids these days.

And got to style an amazing event put on by Slideluck, a non-profit organization that throws these awesome potluck dinner parties/slideshow to show the work of many talented photographers.  Over 250 people showed up!  Held at Voda Studios this year, the event was a complete success.  

Lots of great work, people & good vibes.  Thanks, David Wentworth for putting on a great show.
Here are some photos of the decor we did:

I've been kind of wanting a kitty.  A white kitty.  And if I can teach it how to do this, I think I want one of these little guys even more so!

Had a lazy weekend (see above), but it was plentiful and relaxing.  Now back at the office at full attack.

Clever. This has to be the most amazing entrance to a patio. Right from the kitchen.

Very welcoming. Just a simple way to bring warmth to your home.

enuff, lets escape.

For those of you who have been keeping up with my blog, you can probably by now be well assured that I am in love with anything that is of Scandinavian style (both classic & modern). The way the interior plays with natural light, I'm obsessed with. For this home in particular (featured on skonahem), I like how they've brought in the same teal color paint on the wooden flooring from another room's wall paint color. The way they have connected each part of the home all together is just really intriguing. In another room, they have black and white striped wall paper and in the living room they bring in the pattern again by having black and white striped pillows on the sofa, it's really inviting when you see hints of familiarity around a person's house. Have you ever been to a friend's house where each room were distinctively different? Like completely. Well, it's that type of feeling where you don't feel as if everything is that much more relaxed. But more so, just, "please don't go in that room, it's a bit of a mess." This might not be such a great example for the average person's home *ppkmm*, but even if it's just a little niche you see that is somehow connected to somewhere else inside, that's what makes a home unique and comfortable.

i cannot stand when bloggers write their post title on any particular Friday, "Oh, happy, happy Friday" It drives me insane.

Another amazing prop stylist, Sweet Paul.


A child's imagination is my inspiration for sure...but how will you ever figure what he/she is really thinking? It holds us responsible to think as we were young once.


Rain chains.


Good vibrations. We should all feel those. May be this yarn laser will lead you to some.

there are currently over 30 billion shipping containers not being used around the country, see how this can be changed by SEED, a project by a group of Clemson University (South Carolina) architecture professors to provide temporary shelter for victims of natural disasters such as the recent, Haiti Earthquake.

I'm in love with open spaces and basic furniture pieces. Windows should be open at all times of the year, how else are we able to stay in contact with world outside if curtains or blinds are shut? Though, the burst of light coming in reminds me of Spring coming. I'm ready for it to arrive already.

Did you know that Sweden has their own term for "taking a break to drink coffee" ? Well, they do. Literally translated to "fika".

Wouldn't that be nice.

Imagine living underground...

Literally.

I think I'd be a little claustrophobic, I need more windows to breathe the air (the majority of them are in the front)...I'd feel as if the earth is on top of me, and I'm drilled into the dirt ground, seriously. I would love to visit though, even if it was open as a hotel space, I'd go in a jump just to have the experience.

I love these bunks though.

Take a look at some more pictures, here.
