Modern Mediterranean Decorating

Mediterranean houses are big here in California.  The problem is many of them are done terribly.  Quite often you see these large, sometime huge, faux Mediterranean tract homes with matching furniture set, heavy draping, granite counter tops--and once you see one house you see them all. They all look the same!

You only have to watch Real Housewives of Orange County to know what we're talking about.

So we were so happy to stumble upon a beautiful house in Santa Monica while browsing for real estate (just for fun, mind you).  Here is a great Mediteranean home that's done right.  See how the furniture is light, nothing is matchy matchy, and the colors are so fun and bright?

PS And just in case you are curious, the house is for sale for $3.795M.  That's California for you!

What the hell was Gap thinking?

Did you see Gap's new logo? Isn't it a monstrosity? 

What the hell was Gap thinking?  This looks like one of those fonts you download from the web for free because you're too cheap to pay the $39 or whatever to get a decent one.

Apartment Interior Design in San Francisco Russian Hill

This is Russian Hill Apartment Interior Design in San Francisco. Zack / de Vito Architecture complete their project to renovate the 19th floor apartment in San Francisco Modern Russian Hill.

Apartments are the best solution of housing problems in big cities like San Francisco. The availability of land in major cities to promote the developer to build apartments. And now lives in an apartment is common to man.

Although the apartment is very different from private homes, but with the right interior design and furniture arrangement will remove that kind of distinction between houses and apartments.

Meet Meg

This is my friend Meg.

Isn't she beautiful! I first met Meg when she was just a teenager. I was impressed with her infectious enthusiasm and positive nature. In her early twenties Meg suffered a tragic accident that left her quadriplegic. Her remarkable spirit and positive attitude helped get her through her ordeal and move on with her life. That's when her motto became:

"When life gets too hard to stand,
keep on rollin'."

I recently made her this necklace as a thank you gift.

(tutorials can be found here, here, and here).

I invited her to speak to a group of women. They loved her almost as much as I do. Even though Meg's life is harder than most, she knows that we all suffer with our own personal tragedies. She inspires you to reach for your goals, no matter how hard it may seem to attain them. Her story will make you cry, laugh, and give you the motivation to keep on rollin'. You can read more about Meg here and while you're there be sure to sign up for her monthly messages. You'll be glad you did!

Space Saving Cookware

I love anything that is space saving because I don’t have a very big house. The Europeans seem to know how make space saving everything. On the contrary, we Americans love everything big and supersized. I found these Cristel cookware from French. Everything look so compact and simple. Handles can be detached from pans to make storage easier.

Trendy designer piece for your bathroom – Mrs. Hudson the giant smoking pipe!

Another remarkable design for your loo. Maybe you are one of those people who like to entertain and will certainly need one of this loo for your visitors. They’ll be impress when they meet with Mrs. Hudson in your water closet, Yes indeed its name is Mrs. Hudson, it was designed by 2-B-2 Architecture and said to be inspired by a modified water drop. This design recently grab attention at the Russian bathroom design contest. Being a winner of a contest sponsored by Roca it sure must be good to use not just esthetically but functinally too.


Well it does somewhat look more like giant smoking pipe than an modified water drop so I guess yankodesign.com was right on the spot when mentioning about this.
