Quiet Life. Spanish style.

Today I'm escaping to Ampurda Spain.  These beautiful photos from photographer Jordi Canosa.  I relax just looking at them.  A simple, calm, understated home.  Can I live here please?

Looks like the perfect place for lunch with friends and family.

I love this canopy bed.  Just gorgeous!

Beautiful stone walls and wooden beams.

A nice warm kitchen.  I love the red Spanish tile.

The Quiet Life

Some inspiring photos from photographer Yougo Jeberg.  Very cool.

 




I want to start taking more photos again.  Photography was one of my first passions.  I'm so glad I lived in a time when photographers still used film.  As a child and a teen I spent hour after hour in the dark room.  I loved it.  In college I spent hours cutting and splicing 16mm film on a steenbeck. 

So glad to be a young adult during the turn of the century.  A little bit of the past, a little bit of the future.  I love digital but the ritual of film is something all its own.  My kids will probably never know it and so it's something I treasure.

I love Southern California

I love my little So-Cal city.  Life here is so chill.  I took a walk to the beach Friday afternoon and took some pics to share with you.  I'm up to my eyeballs in work these days, deadlines etc.   So taking a nice walk to unwind in the evening is the just what I need to stay present and clear my mind.

Freedom Friday -- Take A Walk

It's quitting time.  I'll work over the weekend but for now, I'm off to take a walk.  I love my little So-Cal city.  It's so pretty and laid back.  I think I'll stroll to the beach, have a look around and maybe take some pics that I can post for you later. 

To me freedom means time for leisure.  Time of my own, to just be.

So much...

A lot has been going on with me lately.  Lots of work, deadlines and I continue to get frustrated with how slow my progress seems to be.  I definitely thought I'd be a lot further in life than I am.  Heck, at the beginning of the week I thought I'd be a lot further with my work than I am today.  I'm hard on myself, beat myself up and then I feel like giving up...

And then I remind myself of this:

And then I take a break, go browse around Target, buy some wine from Trader Joe's.

Then I open my laptop and continue my work.  I continue perfecting my passion.  And it feels good.

Quiet modern. Clean Style.

My two favorite design styles are Scandinavian design and modern design.  I differentiate them between them because although they share many elements they are not the same.  They're both clean and calming and that's what I like about them.

I don't know about you but I can look at interior design photos all day.  This is a gorgeous modern house in Miami, designed by Dkor Interiors
