Wait! You can’t do that! Or can you?
I guess I am always on a mission to “think outside of the box” and challenge myself and projects to come up with creative ideas that are unique-creative-inventive and personalized. What are the “laws” of design anyway? Who says you can’t move something to a new location that is not typical- to make something work. […]
Why does IKEA do this?
They put things on their website and then they discontinue things and you can’t find them at any of the stores or even used on craigslist or ebay! It’s just a simple birch wood table with a pair of chairs that costs: $39.99 Elliot really would enjoy having coloring and snack time at a table […]

More toilet paper…
I am thinking that I must have a THING for toilet paper. First there was the post on toilet paper in a tote bag on the back of my bathroom door. Let’s not forget the toilet paper in a trophy cup in my bathroom too. Then there was the horrors of colored toilet paper. For […]

Sometimes it presents itself in the form of a photograph, sometimes its a quote, sometimes from a recipe […]

It was a few months at a design event that I ran into a lovely table at a party that was presented with beautiful trays of chocolates… I started chatting with the owner Susan Lieu who is one of the founders (with her sister Wendy of Sôcôla– a boutique chocolate company based in Oakland, California).

Sunday morning
Coffee on Sunday morning is one of my favorite times of the week. The Roundtable on This Week playing in the background. Farmers Market very soon and a long walk. What is everyone else doing today?
