The Creative Children

We all gather and wait to see fireworks.  Always anticipating a BIG blow out, hopefully bigger then the year before. Cameras ready.  Fingers sharp to point out at the ones we love the BEST.  It is hard to achieve superb fireworks shots but these photos will prove that it could be done.

Moved to my new place.   It’s great.  I love interesting decor and cool furniture in my place.  It wow’s people! Interior design is something I have always been interested in.  I found some very interesting pieces made out of cool items.  How creative!!!!!  These chairs are made out of street signs, “don’t walk/walk” Speed and Skiis.

The creative world is fascinating to me and all I do is obsess over ideas people come up with. I wish I had such inspiration and talent myself, but maybe one day if I really apply myself, I will.  These items are clever and so practical.  Not to mention cheap!!!!!!!! They make lovely gifts too.

What?  My choice in fridge design will tell me something about my personality?  VERY interesting. I am used to getting these types of applications on Face Book, but I saw that this company called Amana, has paired up with the show’s Dress My Nest host Thom Filicia to produce ten creative designs for refrigerators.  YES!!! Refrigerators  In a variety of different styles and color patterns.

Amana has also designed a fun test which will tell you what your choice of fridge says about you, in exchange for your vote on which fridge out of ten, should be created first.  Check it out.  I already know MY fridge!

Lighting is very important in decor.  It can make a room look totally different.  If you have noticed, many art galleries have specific lighting in order to bring out the best in the pieces displayed.  Walking into a room which has vibrant, interesting and creative lighting is a special treat and an experience in itself.  Take a look at how fabulous these light fixtures I found are.

Ouch! i went to the beach today. At Mullet Bay St. Maarten which is one of my faves on the island. I had on this blue and white bikini. Blue bottoms, and white top. The top has these jewls on it and it’s a very pretty bikini. Well, who knew I was lunch for a Barracuda today?? I had seen them before linger around but near the rocks. As I was swimming, I turn around looking toward the sand, and I felt this punch on my right shoulder. LIke someone just hit me on the shoulder blade! I turned to my boyfriend and asked him ” did you see something hit me? ” he said OMG, turn around? So i do, and he goes ‘ you are bleeding”
I get out of the water and approach one of the beach bars. A bartender pours a shot of RUM on my wound so it wouldn’t get infected. I guess that’s what they do here on the islands. I drive to the pharmacy and they give me an antibiotic ( triple) and sutras to hold the cut together. The sutras didn’t work by the way as they would slide off because of the antibiotic on the skin, plus the bite was right on the bone of my shoulder blade. Tough spot. HOW CRAZY ? the barracudas are agressive and after doing some reading online, I realized that my bikini was the issue. They are attracted to gold tones and jewelry. They must all be FEMALES
They attack the fish which swim near where everyone swims and the colors of those fish resembled my bikini a lot.. hahaa who knew!!! I was having so much fun in the water too and had to leave to cater to this bite. So please everyone!! NO Jeweled bikinis on an exposed beach like that. Keep it simple.

Wine Racks make for lovely gifts. Lots of people I know are into wine and to have a nice rack to go with the wonderful bottles, is a plus. Decor wise, they bring flavor into a kitchen or dinning room, wherever you might store them. I remember maybe 10 years ago, spending sooo much time at a mall in Philadelphia looking for a nice wine rack to buy for my boyfriends birthday gift. Now days, there are SO many of them. At stores and online. I saw these amazing ones by UMBRA. $180 later they could be a bit expensive, but you know they will be loved and appreciated and above all, talked about

I have been looking for a cool wall clock for quite sometime now.  I wanted one for my room and one to give as a gift to my friend who loves clocks.  He actually collects them.  I found some interesting, funky, cool clocks while browsing.

Its form is rectangular, measuring 75′ long, with 900 square feet of interior space and a 250 square feet terrace: The Floating House is moored on the shores of the island the Impressionist painters made famous in Chatou, outside of Paris. The brothers Bouroullec ( Ronan and Erwan) designed the project in conjunction with two acclaimed naval architects, Denis Daversin and Jean-Marie Finot.
The structure is a platform with pure, simple lines: a parallelepiped with an aluminum skin enveloped by a wooden trellis that embraces the flow of the river. The FLoating House serves as a studio for resident artists and authors invited by the National Center For Printed Art. Tranquility and serenity are the key words that define the ambiance in this space, whose walls open to the water as well as a vast landscape (the inspiration for Renoir’s “Luncheon of the Boating Party”) making it the perfect place to meditate or to work.
Since the late 1990’s, designs by the brothers Bouroullec have been acclaimed on the international scene. Their work can be seen at Centre Pompidou in Paris, as well as at MoMA in New York.

I was wearing shorts the other day while doing some work in the house.  I had used my macbook laptop for a little over 15 minutes, and my legs were burning up.  Wow, these little things we cannot live without really do heat up fast.  I guess  it’s understandable given they do so much work for us

I did some searching online just to see what was out there (if anything at all) for such issue.  And of course, there was. A Laptop pillow called The Log Pillow which is constructed of natural fiber fabrics like hemp canvas and organic cotton.  Intelligent Forms Design (iF) offers such wonders Within the Log Pillow design, buckwheat hulls are used for padding and insulation, protecting you from the strong heat that can develop after using your computer. Also, the Button Pillow with individually sawn buttons offers ventilation for the overheated laptop.  You can also use it as a head rest pillow if turned on the other side.
