no space? no way!

impressive to me is not the biggest space but the best use of space. Impressive is maximizing the space you have to make it work for you. What do I mean by this? Efficient. Well thought. Lean. Strong design. 

Home offices are like this. Online bill pay, E-cards, you name it. Knowing this allows us to have an efficient home office in a small space. Look at these people - great idea! It is not how much space they have, but how well they used the space that they do have... just look.

purple?

Over the last few weeks and months, I have become fascinated with painting something purple. Purple is my mom's favorite color and my second favorite color - my first place always goes to green.

Now this may sound silly, but my mom has a purple pencil that she has used for years and years and every time I see another purple pencil, I think about her.

I am not sure if that is my purple inspiration but something is... Strong, dark, deep, royal (I love Princess Kate so I had throw that in there) - purple.

I am thinking of painting my dining room, which is small so I certainly do not want it to feel even smaller, but I think it would be very nice to have dinner in a dark room on nice china with tasty food (maybe the almost homemade kind) and a beautiful centerpiece.

These are just a of my purple inspirations...
