Stumbled upon these on the HGTV Design Happens blog and couldn’t get them out of my head – retro wooden blocks now even better with the coolest designs. Uncle Goose makes hand-manufactured classic wood alphabet and design blocks. These are not your everyday ABC wooden blocks AND they are not just for kids anymore – These are cool! As I sifted through the site I loved them more and more especially when I ran into their Christmas blocks – being that I am a Christmas NuT.

Even better than the Christmas blocks they have beautiful ABC and mathematical blocks in braille as well as foreign language and really cool specialty blocks for home design!

These are on the list as soon as I know they won’t be destroyed by my children. Also, I think they would make a great hostess gift! All images via Uncle Goose.

I haven’t been visiting this space as much as I would like. You know how it is…life gets in the way, you get busy and start making excuses for why it’s okay that you haven’t posted on your blog. Things like – no one will miss if I don’t write something – people aren’t interested – nobody reads it anyway – it’s just another recipe. However, that’s not why I blog – I blog to document my world, my life, my loves, all the cool things I find on this vast well of information. I blog for me.

So here is a pinch of my documentation as of late..

These look yummy! Don’t they? Of course I would have to adjust the vegetables rolled in the steak because I am married to the pickiest guy on the planet. Still, I think it might work so I’m going to give it a whirl.

Check out the recipe here.

And what about these, huh? Simple. Simple. Simple. I like simple.

Then a brand new kitchen to cook it all in.

I look at lots of pictures of kitchens and pin a lot of kitchens and I gotta say this is, by far, my favoritest kitchen EVER.

Get a look into this brilliant designer and see this kitchen bigger and better here.

Have a wonderful and safe Holiday weekend!

What Were They Thinking? – Wednesday

Narrow Houses

I came across an article on narrow houses, some of which are only 7 feet 10 inches wide, and of course that got me thinking… What in the world would encourage anyone to live in some of the narrowest of homes?

Apparently, many different reasons – from avoiding property taxes based on the width of your home, wanting to avoid traffic using the alley next to your house to just plain artistic and architectural expression. These homes reinvent the old adage “Home sweet Home.”

What Were They Thinking? – Wednesday

Missoni

Remember back, a while ago, it was unheard of to combine stripes with floral?

These days, it’s not so much of a no-no. Coming out of Missoni, which is known for lots of colors in a variety of patterns, is this presentation of mixing and matching all these colors in different patterns, but on the same furniture piece. Kind of like patchwork, although don’t for a second let a novice patchwork piece fool you because if you look close you can tell the difference. You will begin to recognize which products are simply made by random pieces of fabric patched together and which are carefully designed with patterns, lines of the patterns, and colors specifically selected to be included in one piece.

While cruising the world wide web I stumbled upon the video below by Roche Bobois and I came upon the realization for the need to break out of a safer mold and present these vibrant colors that sock a punch. This video is a revelation of what they are thinking, which is a perfect explanation to me.

What do YOU think? Are you loving all the colors?
