I recently fulfilled a childhood dream: I am now the owner of a Rolls-Royce; a 1986 Silver Spur. These cars are ostentatious, pretentious, bougie, and more than a little bit classist. But they are stunningly beautiful, astoundingly well crafted, hand built from the finest materials, the ultimate in luxury. It […]

One of the most iconic pieces of modern furniture ever produced, The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman makes the hearts of most architects and fans of mid-century modern design skip a beat. Both beautiful and comfortable, these chairs are the epitome of mid-century design: elegant, organic, and designed for mass […]
There are many things that can inspire. One of the things that inspires me is graffiti art.

There is beauty all around us, if we take the time to notice. Some times it is subtle. Other times it needs editing out the surroundings. But when we find it, it is worth the moment to stop and enjoy it. Taking that time to notice and enjoy is something […]
I almost never do this, but I LOVE this commercial from Apple for their new iPhone XR – whatever that is, I’m not an Apple person. But the way that they have visualized “running away from the humdrum” and the music, by Cosmo Sheldrake, is just outstanding. It is joyous. […]
Sometimes you have to take a step back from the chaos of daily life and deadlines to take a deep breath. This post is a “social media zen moment”; watch this video and be amazed and simply enjoy the skill. I have never seen balanced stacks of rocks, called “cairnes“, […]
This past weekend, I went to see The World of Charles and Ray Eames exhibit at the Oakland Museum of California. It was great! It covers their careers in design from the 1940’s into the late 70’s. Several of their chair designs are considered modern icon’s and even classics of […]
