levanger mirror . ikea

2010-08-09T17:09:00.001-07:00

got a hallway or room that needs a strong accent wall that will make a huge impact?
the levanger mirror collection from ikea would look AMAZING grouped together.
this goes especially if your shooting for a shabby chic or vintage look.
rather, if you're going for a unique contemporary look, you can mix and match these mirrors as well.

only have money for one?
that's fine, it'll still look fabulous by itself.

the mirrors range from $79-$99.

you buy the mirrors, i'll hang them for you.
LOVE IT!

on our day off, cameron and i went for a bike ride around miramar lake.
i ended up gathering these up for a little decor in our kitchen.
who knew it would make me so happy every time i see it?
it's been a few days since, & the smell still reminds me of the bike ride we took.
better yet, this arrangement will last a long time since it grew without depending on constant water supply.

lesson of this blog posting is as follows...
surround yourself with things that make you happy.
take memorabilia from different experiences and incorporate them into your everyday life. it will help!

thursday night . art night

2010-04-30T13:37:00.000-07:00

my neighbor stephanie and i officially declared thursday nights as art night. we invited michelle over to get her creative gears going as well.

of course everyone is unique, but my neighbor stephanie has a talent i've never seen before. she definitely serves as a true inspiration to me. on the plus side, she's a rad girl. i love her overall style, she states that she likes to create finished art in one night so that she'll be able to see a finished piece the next day. she tends to use acrylics as her medium of choice, and let me tell you, she KNOWS how to use them. since they dry so quickly it allows for her to finish a painting within a short period of time.
michelle has been wanting a headband to use as an accent in her short hair. she put together this headband from a faux rose & chose to add fabric detail to a few of the petals. She also used fabric for the band, which she will be hand sewing an elastic band to so she can attach the two ends of the fabric together. you can't tell unless you look closely in this photograph, but there's a black feather alongside the rose as well. super cute.

i really liked her little project because it will look perfect for when she goes out to dinner and add a little spice to her head when she's having a bad hair day. plus, it didn't even take her a long time to put together.

cam got home from work and went straight to the dart board with phil. it was cute to have the boys play a game while the girls sat on the floor painting.
here's the little project i started working on. i couldn't finish because the last layer of paint i put down was too thick to dry quickly. next time i'm going to try to avoid that, so i can just produce, produce, produce. the finished piece will be coming soon.

thanks so much to stephanie for letting us use her art supplies and extending her home to us.

we will be trying to do this every thursday night & anyone is welcome.

until next thursday.

sunday afternoon, i made it a point to get out of work as fast as possible to catch the san diego art walk. i hurried from encinitas to hillcrest, where cameron and i convinced a couple of our neighbors to head over to little italy with us. we saw works of art by the many talented artists here in local san diego. it was wonderful to be able to see their work and chat with a couple of them. almost nothing compares to a sunday afternoon walk in littly italy. although we only got to experience the art walk for about forty minutes til it shut down, i was completely satisfied. ohh, the countless joys of living in san diego.

better shelter . an oc based real estate development company that finds all the "diamonds in the ruff" properties and flips them to homes that nobody can resist to stare at. better shelter is a breath of fresh and clean design. not too little, nor too much of anything and everything. their spaces tend to stay comfortable, but uncluttered, clean, but without an overwhelming amount of negative space. better yet, their eclectic designs give me relief from other homes than tend to be overly modernized. kudos to better shelter.

our house . in the middle of the street

2010-04-17T10:43:00.000-07:00

cameron and i have finally left "the valley" and have started a new chapter together in a little bungalow abode in hillcrest. living situations seemed to be a tad bit more lavish living in a large and very impersonal archstone complex. yet, instead of living with a bunch of unknowns in what felt like an upscaled version of a dormitory, we found ourselves falling in love with a charming four unit complex. we adopted a total of six interesting neighbors, two people residing in each one-story unit, all of which are lined up in a row. we all share a community yard that also doubles as a dog park for "the kids" of the complex--charlie, irish, and ruby. the arches, rustic wood flooring, and unique colored ceramic tile gives our home so much character. we are carefully and slowly complementing the place with our own decor and personal touches, making it our very own. the combination of great location, community, and privacy makes this dwelling a perfect place to call home. we couldn't have made a better choice for our first home together.

pictures of the interior to come someday soon.

"We all want to experience lasting satisfaction and perfection, but is it really possible? Or are such desires and longings merely an escapist's approach to the hard realities of human existence?...inner fulfillment we seek does exist and can be attained. In truth, all the knowledge, creativity, love, joy, and peace we are looking for are right within us, the very essence of our beings. To fully realize this--not just as an intellectual philosophy but as an actual experience that brings strength and understanding into every area of our daily lives--is what Self-realization is all about"

While browsing Apartment Therapy I came across these strange looking homes from Japan called Foam Dome Homes. They're so strange looking and intriguing I felt like I had to share...

These homes are made from polstyrene foam, the modular pieces of these igloo-like homes create buildings that are very well insulated, inexpensive, lightweight, easy to assemble, and extremely durable (both earthquake and typhoon resistant).

So strange! Reminds me of Teletubbies. Yet, practical and easy on the wallet. Whatever works.

"...All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions, which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself"

on the other hand, it was nice to see some of your familiar faces this past weekend. all our lives have been shifting whichever way and it seems as if we're all just trying to find our place. one thing still remains true...i love you guys! it makes me so happy to know that you all love cam. perhaps i've been selfish in not bringing him out and sharing him with you guys. i'm just greedy when it comes to him and i don't want any of you to steal him from me.

in the end,i'm a pretty lucky girl to have such an amazing boyfriend and an amazing batch of friends.

so, thank you!
i heart you!

just another pit stop . in the wine country

2009-06-02T14:34:00.000-07:00

As most of you know, time expired at Bumsville and the three ladies have gone off in separate directions. The move was hectic and couldn't have been completed without those few helping hands...so thanks a million plus some to those that made the process go by with ease. Sadly, I'm not in San Francisco quite yet. Instead, I find myself in the neighboring city I grew up in since I was four years old. I'm here in good ol' Murrieta/Temecula and as much as the realization of returning back turns my stomach, I have come to terms with the situation and can only make the best out of it. Perhaps this is a critical step I need to go through before I move on to bigger and better things. While revisiting I look forward to learning more about this place and seeing it in a different point of view than I once saw it before. Anyway, I'll be sure to show face in San Diego so don't forget about me quite yet!

PS
Let me know if you want to go wine tasting or party at Pechanga...hahah.
Shit.

the ramp house . archivirus

2009-04-26T18:39:00.000-07:00

designed by Archivirus
located in Athens, Greece

the challenge for the designer was to make a 'ramp house' not a 'house with a ramp'.
skating and building elements combined together for this space.

ahh, i don't know how i feel about this house.
it's very intriguing...but all i can think of is 'party house'.
skateboarding and booze all day long.
but i do give kudos to archivirus for completing a house my college professors would've never approved of.
