Welcome to Miami, ami, ami

     I've been sitting here for a good hour or so looking around for something I loved, and hey, hi, hello, just like that two little lovely images grabbed my attention. Correction, 1 image, 1 quote. 

"Love of beauty is Taste. 
The creation of beauty is Art."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
     Lately I've seen good old Ralph's name popping up everywhere next to quotes I admire. Note to self to look more into that. Second piece of beauty came from the same source, a blog I've recently become familiar with, Sanity Fair

     And now for our second task of the day, blue, teal, torquise, oh heavenly azule... such a wonderful color. How could i possibly ignore this gathering of all things blue, bold, and beautiful? Impossible I say!!! And then like a brick falling from the heavens it hit me, the MIAMI sign. Love at first sight. I generally renounce all things to do with my Floridian heritage (ugh, yuck, I hate it) see even now I'm grimacing and thinking to myself why couldn't I have been raised somewhere wonderfully sophisticated like New England? Where the leaves change colors and many a great american lived. Oh well, whats done is done.  Might as well embrace what we've got.  Tadaaaaa!!! 


The pillow, and chair I'm less than crazy about. However, the entire bottom row is just gorgeous, I could stair at each piece separately for hours on end. Anyone else find inspiration in an unlikely source? Please tell!

Progress

      Magazine inventory update: progress made- 0%. Aahhh, but the night is still young my friends! On a totally unrelated subject, I had planned on writing down just how wonderful the new Kanye album was today...and then I saw this picture. Clearly this is a much more post worthy topic. What a beautiful picture highlighting the different facets of the brain. I fancy myself, right brained and left handed. Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend. Anyone else procrastinating on weekend projects, tell me i'm not the only one feeling less than motivated people!
Left brain: I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.

Right brain: I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. g I wanted to be.

Left Brain: I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.
Right Brain: I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feat. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be.

I.Heart Country Living

Recently I've have started collecting, or as my room mates like to call my newest obsession...hoarding, back issues of Country Living magazine. They are beautiful each filled with unique ideas, inspiration galore, and all around handy general knowledge. New editor Sarah Gray Miller has done the most incredible job updating and keeping the magazine current, alive, and flourishing. Needless to say, in an effort to control what could inevitably turn into a totally chaotic situation, I've limited my collection to issues from the present until 2000. Thus being said, recently I've acquired a few more additions to my collection, and so I've given myself the challenge of updating my inventory list this weekend. Heres hoping it will be a stress free and enjoyable task. Some how I doubt it, otherwise I wouldn't have continued to put it off.

Happy Valentines Day everyone out there, I hope your day is filled with love and admiration if for no one else than yourself. All too often people forget how important is it to be in tune with themselves. It's scary, I am well a ware of that, but in the end, you'll be that much happier!
