barcelona sites

Part of my lapse in updating the blog is because I was traveling for work in Barcelona last week. We were decorating a large house in the city. I wasn't sure what to expect from the city, but I was blown away. There was such a lovely contrast of old and new architecture. My favorite 'old' being the buildings designed by Gaudi. Check out the Casa Batllo. It blows my mind that someone dreamed up this building in 1905. The pictures do not do it justice. If you want to learn more about this particular building, Wikipedia has some great info.

at the beach

Just wanted to let everyone know I'll be at the beach in Florida with the fam this week. I'd hoped to do some posting here, but I have my Dad's work computer which is on some sort of crazy company lock down (I'm surprised they even allow me on this site), and we can't seem to get my sister's 'puter to connect. Happy summer to all!

make it bright

Bright and bold seems to be a major trend in decorating these days. I love the statement these make. Couldn't you picture them in a room with an amazing graphic wallpaper too?

owl graf

I collect owls, so I was pleasantly surprised to see this little guy waiting for me near the entrance to the Williamsburg bridge. We were on our way to pick up one of my best friends who just returned from a year of traveling. Welcome back ADP! Check out her adventures at The Lost Girls.
