Poems from the Vault – Rise.

I really needed to be reminded of this message today (I mean I really needed to hear it); I hope that you can find some value in it as well.  Take a moment to read and absorb the words (oh, it won’t take long)…if so, thank you for reading!  Let’s put in the leg work and go after those dreams and goals.  Today is the best day to start/continue.  Be well, and Stay Creative.




SnowPorn.

Today’s selection is a SnowPorn pick on steroids; a quaint little space smack dab in the middle of a mountain.  What’s not to love?  If you’re an admirer of snowy solitude and the peaceful benefits that it provides, then this is your place…you can’t get more remote than this.  Clean lines and large windows…ample sunlight, and a bold, boss view looking right out into the depths of this wintry expanse.  Throw in some coffee and I’m golden.  Let the daydreams commence.

Light your fire, grab your coffee (or wine), snag your book…and cozy up to the warmth of this week’s great wintry space.

Library Lusting.

Sometimes, many different flavors can combine to create one larger, greater concoction.  Such is the case with this week’s space.  This room is somewhat of a gumbo; many varied elements and premises all tossed carefully and creatively into one large stew pot.  We’ve got some comfort elements (plush chairs and a sofa) for maxing and relaxing, a studious little nook (a great little desk and window pairing) for taking care of business, a fireplace for a little heat and crackle, and a mass of books so large that this room could double as the east wing of your local library.  It has it all, and it just works.  This is without a doubt a book lover’s room.  Let the daydreams commence.

Quotes – Simplicity.

Life can be complicated; we all know this firsthand.  How much of it is of our own doing?  The appreciation of simplicity has been around for ages; renowned 16th century poet and Earl of Surrey Henry Howard (an unfortunate victim of Henry VIII’s rage) remarked that one of the “things that cause a quiet life” are “true wisdom joined with simpleness”.  Sage words.  Great concept.  Let’s see if we can make simplicity the new complicated.  Stay creative.




Library Lusting.

What elements constitute a legendary home library?  A few books?  A handful of bookshelves? Some unique architectural elements that most folks can only dream of?  Some home setups have all of the above, and then some.  This week’s pick is that sort; a truly immense space, stacked to the rafters full of books, a space reminiscent of a true library rather than one tucked away in a home.  One would definitely have to up one’s book acquisition game in order to fill the gang of space on those shelves!  Let the daydreams commence.
