Words for Wednesday

What do you say we make this a weekly occurrence! Hump day quotes that make you think.  Take a second each Wednesday to unwind and think about love & life.

Music Double Take- Lollapalooza

Ben Sklar, a photographer for The New York Times shot some amazing multiple exposure pictures at Lollapalooza this summer. These shots are so neat, and I love how they include both fans and musicians, as well as depicting the atmosphere of the festival. Here are a few of my favorites:

Being a part of Lollapalooza this year, and experiencing the music and the atmosphere makes these pictures all the more appealing. Check out the rest of Sklar's shots here.

Mirror Mirror

The mirror trend is really catching our eye. Starting with finger nails and then moving down to your toes, the trend can also be taken home with great furniture and accessories. Tiny mirrored details work great as well as bold big statement pieces. Mirror here and there, Mirror everywhere!

One Door Closes

I just love how interesting and unique some old doors can be, with so much character. I've never realized how many different things you can do with repurposed doors, both inside and out. Here are some of my favorite projects made from repurposed doors.

Some projects being more timely than others, you can really get creative with incorporating old doors into your home, and I think they are great conversation pieces.
