Blake Dollahite and his fantastic bathroom

Blake Dollahite built a house in Austin.  It is pretty much amazing, and my favorite thing right now is the bathroom. It gives me construction hope.

 

 

 

 

Sanding and painting,  Alice

Call me what you will, but I am really in love with that Stormtrooper painting. While watching Race to Witch Mountain, I was reminded of how much they just cheer me up.
Back to the point, both these pieces are by Scott Erickson, who I believe is a local artist, and creates fantastic-ly creepy pop art.

Happy that my car is a.k.a. 'TK421', Alice

Beach House{s}, would you be mine?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serena Mitnik-Miller lives in Santa Cruz {above} and San Francisco {below}, fufilling my beach-house dream for today. It is totally dreary outside, and that makes me want to escape. To the ocean. Even if it is cold, there is something about the seaside that makes most weather tolerable. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get your own beach house:

*pick up a bunch of free pallets

*nail the boards to you walls, and paint everything white

* collect dishes and cookware in watery/sunny shades

*cut your hair short

*use beat up partially-painted flooring scraps to make custom-depth shelves.{more on this later}

*grow plants in your kitchen

*enjoy the cold and cloudy mornings with coffee, as if they will burn off into a lovely summery day.

*leave your shoes at the door

Something lovely

all I want, is this*.

& this.
rolled into one.

Thank you Wai Lin Tse, Alice

*If I could wake up in that bedroom every morning, I would be a kid again. In a fort, with unlimited possibilities before me. And I bet it smells good.

Meet my new favorite person, Nikki. She loves all the same things I love. Well, almost. I am not sure she loves action-adventure movies with lots of explosions and car chases.
Regardless, I felt quite connected when I read her blogger profile.

Wishing I was a night owl in England, Alice
