“Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”

Written on the Wall

I think this is such a clever idea from Layla over at the Lettered Cottage.  She took a quote from a book and put it up on the wall with vinyl wall letters.  Anyone could do this with a favorite quote or line from a song.  Definitely head over there to check out the rest of the beach cottage that she redid this summer.  It’s gorgeous!

Craving some Visual Peace

Design Sponge

For me that means white walls & white trim for a blank slate.  Warm woods interjected through flooring, and furniture all to help create some visual acuity & peacefulness.

{Quote of the Week}

Design can be art.  Design can be aesthetics.  Design is so simple, that’s why it’s so complicated.
-Paul Rand
In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer.  It’s interior decorating.  It’s the fabric of the curtains, of the sofa.  But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design.  Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.
-Steve Jobs
