Paris Metro

Nothing like clever editing and lovely music not to mention the notion of everything 'Paris' to turn the metro into a wonderful romantic experience.   As useful as the metro is for getting around, can't say I every felt that I was in the midst of a romantic fling while commuting back and forth to work:)  Take a look at Sub City by Sarah Klein and Tom Mason

Happy Weekend

Wishing you a glorious laughter-filled weekend from a warm, Jasmine-scented Los Angeles.   I took this picture across the valley from Mulholland Drive this morning.

New Cottage Style

I finally got my hands on a copy of "New Cottage Style" by Alison Serrell and the editors of Sunset Magazine.  While I tend to shy away from style labels, I am happy to be on the design panel for the book offering advice and tips alongside other panelists.   The end result is a book full of great images and lots of helpful advice for creating a casual home and retreat.   You can buy the book here.
