A Place of Mystery


The bed is a place of mystery.
It shares our secrets and knows our truths.
It is here that we are born.
As our lives unfold and we grow older, our relationship with the bed deepens and evolves.
Thresholds of experience are crossed here--we encounter the solitude of childhood,
embrace the passionate dreams of youth, and mature into the comfortable realities
of love and marriage.
Our refuge through happiness and pleasure, sickness and pain, the bed
accompanies us throughout life, until in death it becomes a metaphor
for our final rite of passage.

Pillow Talk


I found this on a favorite blog -- it made me cry. 

27 years ago today...
I married my best friend, my lover, my trainee, my teacher to all things I never knew, my planner, my tour guide, the father to my children, my partner on this earth and not on this earth~
Everyday, every single morning during our pillow talk we planned our dreams, built our life & still are happily ever after....

Great Office Furniture--Home or Commercial

My passion for design started with an interior designer turned author.  Alexandra Stoddard inspired me through her many books.  She is an "Art of Living" guru.  It was because of her that I decided to return to school and earn a degree in design.  Alexandra's message is that our environments play a large role in our feelings well being.  One of her most important messages is that we tend to spend the majority of our budgets on spaces that we rarely use--formal living rooms.  She believes that joy was to be found in the day to day living.  She admonishes her readers to cultivate meaningful rituals.  For example, she loves puttering in her garden and cutting fresh flowers.  She's so over the top regarding flowers that she even keeps them in her refrigerator.

Like Alexandra my career has focused to a large degree on residential design.  However, there is more and more attention being given the quality of our work spaces.  We spend such a large part of our lives working that it makes perfect sense that our offices should be beautiful too. 

I've posted the following pictures with information about an exciting business in Southern California.  2010 Office Furniture offers a great selection of office furniture with a variety of price points.  In addition to great products, their designers are world-class.
