feet what do I need you for...

Frida by Nikolas Muray

To have vastness - in spirit and imagination, is what I admire and envy most in people. To have that will that just refuses to give up or die.. and oh such courage.. in body and soul! All of which she Frida Kahlo had.

Sensual, unapologetic, brave and bold - her work stirs in me a magical melancholy.. the kind I want to dwell in...
I don't have any `role models' but her's is a life and work that really does inspire me deeply. Everything about how she lived and was, is so brave and special. One day, I shall in my own way do an ode to her... for now.. it's this..

'I paint self-portaits because I am so often alone, because I'm the person I know best.' - Frida Kahlo

Young House Love {House Tour}

This is a 54 year old, much loved adobe of Sherry and John, from Young House Love.
"Old enough to be our parent, we treat it like our child" they say. They did all the work by themselves that needed to be done, to hide it's age and make it a gorgeous home, that it is now. They even got married here! Along the way they got so perfect at it (the house renovation i.e, although I'm sure with all the years and experience they are pretty good at marital advice too) :) , that they started taking up projects. Big DIY experts, featured famously, I hope you enjoy this house tour!
What do you think?

Before

The front porch now - love the green!

After - Living Room

Loving the shelves next to the dining table

Love the powder blue walls and the three frames over the bed

The den - before

What I love the most about this house is the way the light flows so freely in the space. Evereything becomes sunnier and yet cozy because of the soft color palette. I also love their use of wall art and posters and pictures - they just add so much character, and personalizes the space.

You can also visit Sherry and John and their lovely shop on younghouselove.

Cherry Blossom {a poem in time}

I love Cherry Blossom trees. How can one not. I think they are one of the saddest, most beautiful looking things ever.

Also called `Sakura' they even have a celebration around them in Japan called Hanami.

While in China it represents femininity, power, innocence and sexuality; in Japan it is a symbol of transience and fragility of life. It's short beautiful bloom has inspired many poets and artists. And lovers and dreamers....

“My heart that was rapt away by the wild cherry blossoms - will it return to my body when they scatter?” - Anon
