Happiness Is Freedom

word for the weekend; FREEDOM

" The secret of happiness is freedom.

The secret of freedom is courage."

Thucydides

and on a darker note.....

"The strong do what they have to do and the weak accept what they have to accept."

also Thucydides

I have such a problem with the 'weak' sitting by silently.....

why do they do that?

* if this question is too heavy for a weekend....

just leave a comment that says; "great image" or "too heavy"

Pink And Orange And Ponies

The colors drew me in ...

and then I saw the riding boots,

and then the horse painting.

So, I love it!

Rob Southern is the designer.

Below you will see a few more 

of my favorites done by Rob Southern.

There is no getting away from it,

I am crazy for orange.

Thinking......nice sofa.

What do you think?

Do you like what you see?

If so....what?

Another Artists Studio....

That I would like to lease or buy.

For some weird reason I would like to live in this space.

Is it the white everywhere?

Is it because it looks like I would have more open space?

Maybe it is just the huge paintings.

The orange one.

I have had orange on the brain.

I need to use it in a project.

And I need to use it soon.

The stone walls painted over remind me of when I lived in Montreal.

The feel is beyond casual, which is very freeing.

It's like I am feeling inside.

Like I am 'verging'......

on a new creation.

Could you lay out projects here and do some work?

And then go to another part of this studio and relax, dine or sleep?

I would love to!!

Tonight I Am ...

Craving chocolate big time!!!

Unless I get up and get dressed and go to the store,

this will be a s close to chocolate as I will get.

I have been taking it a bit easy on the blogging scene for 2 days now.

I haven't been posting or commenting because

my right eye is red, painful. I have a touch of pink eye.

This is something I get off and on

because of my severe allergies here in South Florida.

I have hot compresses on my eye and and doing the medication thing as well.

Great Beds - Built-In

I have always had a thing for built-in beds.

I still want my own.

This one would work just fine for me.

Is this not fabulous???

This is way too sweet for me 

but it solves some problems.

The dresser is under the bed, and if you are tight on space 

or would like to leave room for the kiddos to move around a bit.....

this is a great option

When I finally have a second home in a fabulous place....

I am going to make one of the guest rooms 

with stacked built in beds on both sides.

I knew a woman in NYC who was a single mom.

She had a studio with an alcove {apartment}, 

and she did this in the alcove space for her son.

She slept in the living room.

This woman was very chic....

and managed to pull off her difficult situation beautifully.

This idea is fabulous.

You can make a room where there wasn't one.

If you had a loft....how great could this be???

Do you like BUILT-IN BEDS?

Now THIS PLACE Has Industrial Touches

Most of you know that I love homes made out of

 interesting pre-existing warehouses, churches, mills and factory buildings.

Here is a new one for me.

This is an old train station made into a cottage.

It has really big mechanical thingies in it.

And I think it is 'way cool.'

Now I would have used completely different furnishings

and a completely different kitchen.

But just take a look

and use your own imagination.

I love the gigantic 'thingie' between the dining room and the kitchen.

I would leave it and use fantastic case goods and upholstery.

Seasoned with whimsical antiques.

Think of what fabrics & great area rugs might do.

And lets not leave out both large pieces of art,

 and grouping smaller art would do.

What might you do?

Or would you steer clear of this altogether?

I Like Kendall ...How About You?

I love Venetians and mirrored dressers.

Again,

an antiqued mirrored chest.

This is so elegant.

Look!

Mother of pearl walls. 

They are beautiful.

The mirror is a lovely shape.

And the gold detailing 

on the dark bathroom cabinet is just my style.

Have a great weekend.
