Whew, 2006....


It has been some kind of year. Grateful is not enough of a word to describe how blessed we feel/are. Wow!

** Modern Design Tip: Round Mirrors. Balanced vignettes (the orchids framing the mirror.) Look for height, texture, color in floral. Use sticks in tall vases
***This is my first manual photo from the Digital Rebel. Not too bad. The depth of focus was an issue. Any photography tips ?????
****NEW YEARS EVE! Holler! Scott W is coming. He dances. We love him!

FLOR



If you are not familiar with FLOR carpeting squares, you must check out the link of the day. It is the the ultimate answer for using carpeting in modern design. (But will work for any decor ) I am using them for area rugs and so far they are holding p well to the children dog and general family wear and tear.
This carpet is my main rug using "Fedora"
and "Solid Ground" and the "Modern Mix". I can change the orange if I get bored with it.

Clear Plastic Furniture


I adore clear furniture. The Eero Aarnio bubble chair is probably the most photographed chair of all time. I will absolutely have one of these one day. To me this isn't just a prop from the Real World house, it is the epitome of what I love about modern design.

Scampers


Our newest edition, a yorkie, 6 months old , weighing in at just under 3lbs.....
This little guy is the sweetest, most nuzzely, dog EVER.
The children call him Scamper, but I call him "Herses" (which you have to pronounce in a high pitched sing song, baby voice).
Pure love!


My SIL gave me the new Amy Sedaris book for Christmas, "I Like You; Hospitality Under the Influence". I think the author and I were separated at birth. Hilariously smart, a must read. So she gets the designation of
