A House to Get Away From it All

I am not one to go rustic but this house invites Baudelaire's line  from 'L'invitation au Voyage' to mind: 'Luxe, calme et volupté'.
Luxury, calm and sensual pleasure indeed...

Want to Know What Wall Street Have Done With Their Bonuses....

.... and why we need financial reform ?


Love the toys and their slick, organic design. Hate to think Bernie and friends probably have 2 or 3 already pre-paid by you and the other suckers of Main Street.

Somebody compared them to Douglas Adam's Heart of Gold on water !
Couldn't agree more...

Those Schopfer Yachts were discovered on the Baekdal web site.
Thanks again StumbleUpon!

Dream Your Life Away. Who Can Blame You...

Omnomicon can also show you how to bake a mean Rainbow cake. But I just crave this ridiculously cool red sofa...

Beauty in Paper Cut: Yulia Brodskaya's beautiful illustrations

Art, talent and beauty make those hard times less painful for some of us. I am addicted to them like Madoff was addicted to added zeroes in his bank accounts. Brodskaya's talent is one I admire. The precision and dedication needed to create her figures are staggering. And, of course, like any really talented artist, she makes it seem like a breeze. You can see more of her art on DesignBoom.

Nice House.. if You Can Get it

The owners are probably living in their car by now but this house makes me sigh with envy and delight.

It's more museum than home but it is beautiful with wood, light and great design galore.
