This is an interesting article about an Armenia as a tourist destination. They talk about the rugs from the area and then about three rather new hotels that sound quite nice.
I think my favorite of the hotels mentioned might be Avan Dzoraget, which resembles a castle. The showers build out of flagstone at the Avan […]
The new Ystrad Mynach police station in the UK utilizes interior design and color psychology to try to calm and focus those placed in the cells. Blue and yellow colors are used in the cells of this new police station to encourage truthfulness (blue horizontal line on the walls) and to help calm unruly people […]
I am a fan of this public art carpet. The pattern on the rug is an aerial view of the Sacramento River valley. Imagine the possibilities…this carpet, some small (quite small) inflatable rafts, some disarmed plastic army men.
Here is a link to a series of pictures.
Many thanks to the style page for letting me know […]
Talking about the important decisions of the president in a blog often requires some sort of political position. I try to stay rather apolitical on this blog. As a result, this post is about the useless silly and trivial decoration of the oval office.

I think this is cool enough to put on the blog just because I haven’t heard of something like this before. However, I’m not really sure what this would be used for and […]

My favorite picture is the one with the actual dog among the pillows (number […]
I dare you to fill your living room with these.

Here is a good classic take on the squiggly chair. It squiggles. It wiggles (if you lean back and bounce a little), and it jiggles (I don’t really know how that one would work out).
Here is a link to the chair that looks like it is made from a piece of ribbon.
In a sense this is a bearskin rug. However, do not let the name fool you my friend. This is not made from the skin of a bear. Oh, no no. This is made out of cast urethane rubber. I do wonder if it smells, but am rather confident that if it were on a […]
