Keep the summer going - lovely conservatory inspiration

Even though it is the last week of July - I feel like it is just now getting hot. And where better to practice the art of being languid then a conservatory, porch, or sunroom?

I'm not a huge fan of wicker but this conservatory is still delicious!


It's too cold in my climate to enjoy Christmas in a glass room, but this is just gorgeous


Such a charming and lived in space

The overgrown "secret garden" style of this conservatory is right up my alley

Not only is he Gorgeous but.....

I'm in the middle of watching the Larry King Special tonight where Brad Pitt is the guest. I wanted to express what I thought of his mission to get the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans rebuilt. I think its quite admirable. Its a shame that a Hollywood actor is putting this all together with 5 Million dollars of his own money & our president couldn't go there until a week after the flooding. Larry asked Brad why the 'Pink'? he said they wanted something loud and PINK seemed to scream the loudest. So all the homes will be Earth Friendly, which is impressive! Good job. If you go to the site, you'll see how amazing it is to go through these homes in a 3d system and choose what you want to donate within the home. Whether it is a new refrigerator, new lighting, new linoleum floor etc. I will definitely be donating this Christmas to help these people gain their homes back. The site to visit is: NOLA

My future car??

I'm always amazed by the innovation in GREEN products nowadays, but this one really blew me away! I admit I drive a luxury car and have been for the last 2 yrs. However, once my lease is up, I will definitely consider getting some type of hybrid vehicle. This Star Trek looking car below is by a company called 'APTERA'. What an interesting look and here's a description from the manufacturer:

The Aptera has a 2 plus 1 seating configuration. The two front seats are arranged as standard side by side seating. There is also a center infant seat behind the driver and passenger. The side doors open to the front and upward completely inside the front wheel track so you never have to worry about hitting the vehicle parked next to you or damaging your door while exiting your Aptera in a tight garage. There is enough storage in the rear for 15 bags of groceries, or 2 full size golf club bags. And the Aptera is even big enough for a couple of seven foot surf boards and any associated beach accessories. Sadly enough, they're only available in California (they're working on this issue). It retails for $26,900.

I hope they have them in Vegas by the time my lease is up, I might just get one!
