I was having a conversation with my sister-in-law this weekend and we were talking about what we like best in our homes...I absolutely adore my home...It's large and beautiful with more than enough space for our family...However, if we were to purchase again...I'd make sure I have a fabulous staircase and an even more fabulous kitchen! Take a look at these staircases and give me a sec while I get you...my interpretation of a super fabulous kitchen!

{80's Michael & Heaven's Angel}

>> Thursday, June 25, 2009

So, it's truly a sad day for music & icon history...The ultimate King of Pop Music and one of Charlie's angels has passed away! Michael Jackson was an extraordinary man and he helped shape the sound of music as we know it today...Growing up in the 80's, I remember watching and dancing hard to his music videos in my parents retro living room, the red leather thriller jacket my brother and I sported and the birthday parties, where my dad blasted MJ tunes...I also tried to feather my hair the way the gorgeous Farrah did...Unfortunately it didn't work...She worked that hairstyle out, like no other could! Wow, the memories! I though I would share some 80's interiors; just for the memories.

R.I.P Michael Joseph Jackson August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009

R.I.P Ferrah Leni Fawcett February 2, 1947 - June 25, 2009

{Arturo Elena}

>> Monday, June 22, 2009

I know I've posted some illustration like these before, but.....They weren't these exact ones!

I absolutely adore the artist Arturo Elena. The most fabulous aspect of his illustrations, is that...Through his drawings he has the ability to lengthen the human forms while maintaining perfect harmony of proportions and ultimate attention to detail! You know what...I can go on and on about him and his work but don't take my word for it, go check him out http://www.arturoelena.com
