I'm looking forward to the upcoming July 4th weekend.  While I do have to work on Sunday, I get to be a regular citizen the other 2 days.  I'll have a special (almost 5 year old) VIP in town, and I'm excited for some quality Southern California fun.

A few more of my favorite shots from the DTLA Arts district.  In a few blocks you can find some great street art and very tasty snacks.

Hammer and Spear
One of the guys I work with at the day job is always telling me about these "cool, hip, trendy" places he's gone.  I like to think I'm taking good advantage of living in LA, until I hear Glen talk about some funky spot that I have yet to go to.  So last Thursday, I decided to spend a few hours wandering around the DTLA Arts District.

Creating a "tasty" space

PictureThe repetition of black elements in the space help create unity.
I caught up on some of my favorite design blogs yesterday and practically cheered when I read Emily Henderson's posting on her three top design tips. While her aesthetic is different from mine, she consistently provides intelligent reasons for all of her choices.  My takeaway is that it is critical to think of everything as parts to a whole instead of on their own.

Field Trip-Alaska

6/9/2016

I'm back from a few days up north in Alaska.  To call it beautiful is such an understatement.  Trees as far as you can see, water so clear you can easily see the bottom of the river, and snow capped mountains high into the sky.

A favorite combination

6/7/2016

Growing up, I had my walls plastered in blue and orange.  As a lifelong Mets fan, that's hardly a surprise to anyone who knows me even a little.  But I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful spread in last month's House Beautiful featuring this color combination.

The judicious use of white keeps it from looking like a carnival.  Or Shea Stadium--that's not a look for everyone.  Bright color, simple shapes, lots of white to anchor and some texture.  I kept going back to these pictures and wanted to share.
