Slyvia Ji

Slyvia Ji is one of my current favorite contemporary artists. Her use of color is so bold and holds a strong force of emotion behind it. I love her color glazing techniques as well, along with her ability to capture the pure essence of feminine beauty. I also love the way she explores other people's cultures-- it sparks my very own curiosity.

My Dream Room

There is something about the way this room is put together that makes me visually salivate. I have always had a love for the non traditional, and this is just absolutely stunning to me. Designer, Laurie Owen, puts together such rooms that combines the organic exterior world and combines it with the comfortable sense of interior living.

Everything about this makes me so very happy. I want to have a room that I feel calm in-- if I were to meditate, this room would facilitate it. I currently live in a "college house", meaning, it has no personal flare and it is a rental. When I have the ability one day to own my own house, it will have such a feel to it that will hopefully make my visitors feel the way these images make me feel.

Viva Las Vegas
The only good photos that turned out well on my camera. The rest are on my Phone. :(

Another holiday has come and gone. I'd say though that Valentine's Day is one of the more controversial holidays. If you're in a relationship, it is a day for you to spend doing what makes you happy. Or if you're single, it is a day to spend doing what makes you happy. I don't really understand why this holiday is viewed with such animosity, really.

I'm thinking of adding more DIY to this blog-- interesting project ideas to spruce up this college house I reside in! Renting surely is convenient, but it never really feels like home. Home to me has personality and character. I'd also like to start photographing more things as well as cooking more and focusing on things that make me happy.

Expect more updates to come!
