As a follow-up to my recent post on eclectic wall decor, I wanted to show my readers my finished wall collage and a few pointers on how you at home can create your own. I used multiple sizes and materials for … Continue reading
Everyone needs a little color in their Monday, so I decided to post these beautiful travel pictures I found recently. Wouldn’t it be cool if there were more “Umbrella Sky” walkways? Who knew laundry could be so beautiful? Against the … Continue reading
I love this photography by James Griffioen entitled Feral houses. He captures the overgrown dilapidated houses of Detroit. The photographs are the wonderful dichotomy of man and nature and their complex relationship with one another over time. I have blogged … Continue reading
Okay! This is such a cute video and has simple instruction of how to transfer your very own beautiful photo onto a block of wood! I have always admired work like this and now that I know I can do this myself I know what I will be trying this fall. What a great gift idea and home decor idea wrapped into one, relatively easy project!
I am thinking that this project probably would look best in black and white but the possibilities of wood varieties are virtually endless. You could add a lovely ribbon hanger or you could simply display a few of these photo blocks on a floating shelf. Reclaimed wood would also make an excellent color variation and is environmentally friendly as well.
I have been lolly-gagging on writing my 100th post because it seems like it should be something special or profound as it is a small milestone for me! Anyhow, I thought what better way to commemorate post 100 other than … Continue reading
Ghost Building Photography- José Antonio Millán
Last week, I started blogging a little bit about Architectural Ruins and this week I would like to share with you some photography by Jose Antonio Millan entitled Ghost Buildings that I have come across while further researching this very interesting and open-ended genre of architecture. I am so intrigued by these spaces because they are such large portraits of history, building technique and immense thought process– in short, they house an untold story.

In these photographs, Millan brilliantly captures what was and what could have been in otherwise abandoned and uninhabited architecture. Dilapidated buildings offer so many questions and can often be stark reminders of a time and life that once was.

Here lies the place where color, texture and wear converge from the inside out and this can seem daunting, frightening and undesirable.. or it can be seen as art such as captured by Millan. I see this kind of architecture in cities all over the world, what once was new and shiny now stands abandoned as a reminder of failure, of closed doors, but it could also be a simple suggestion of hope.
Do ruins intrigue anyone else? If so, why? I am really seeking some input on this topic, it is so fascinating.
Choosing paint colors can be daunting to some but I think it is fun and a great expression of your style. Nothing can uplift your environment as much as a new paint scheme. To choose colors for your rooms first … Continue reading
Your bedroom can be the scene for a modern romance all year-long if you incorporate some nice rich colors and memorable art. Personally, I love a purple, grey and black color scheme. It is unisex enough for a man and … Continue reading
