new town. new life. re-design.

Inspired by quite a few amazing blogs out there as of late.. So, i've decided to breathe new life into this (quite frankly, quite sad) lil' blog o' mine.

It will now be a freer space for documenting various inspirations (mostly design-related) that I keep piling on day in / day out into a desktop folder called "STUFF".

call it a personal scrapbook of mish-mashed inspirations with a to z design-related posts, ie fonts, chairs, architecture, graphics, decor, flea market finds, and so on...
as we build a new life for ourselves here in canada & i re-integrate this new life chapter / new house (!) / repatriation (after having spent 5 years gallivanting around europe and asia).

I already have flickr for my adventures in amateur photography anyway (granted, i need to EDIT it & then edit it some more..) but basically this will be a freer blog attempt, uploading on a whim about quirky design.

*** oh and, my obligatory mascot (blogs need mascots right?) is a female jack russell terrier.
meet kaya, fresh off the boat from china (no, sorry, my bad i mean from paris, france... no wait - she is dutch! godverdomme!) A well travelled little terrier.

over the past year / months, i've been amassing a ton of design and DIY inspirations found here & there as we've been leading up to buy a 1st home.

Well now, after months of sweat & stress : we are finally moving into our 'smurf' house next week! i.finally.step.out.of.this.no.mans.land.and.get.my.life.back. Hurrah!
2 months in a suitcase in a crap hotel with a dog (wall to wall carpets anyone?) has taken its toll.

Now, as 2 very wise men have brilliantly sung before, its BUSINESS TIME.
(ok different context but I just HAD to use somewhere this cute gem that sneaked its way into my 'STUFF' folder).

(now, if you find yourself clueless about this business time business, simply google :
"business time flight of the conchords skit".
As the chinese would write on a pack of mixed nuts: its deliciousness.)

peace out. xo
