It is a wonderful website dedicated to documenting ordinary people in their living spaces – most of which are quiet extraordinary! I love browsing through the site and seeing how others live… esp those that live so well. This space is a particular favourite of mine. Love the white and wood theme which is carried throughout the space. The home belongs to Lyndsay and Fitzhugh who are both designers (obviously) …  Read More »

I just read about a very modern real life “Amelie” story (one of my favourite movies!) This one involved a man who discovered a lost roll of film in a park in New York just after a blizzard and decided to take the film to be processed. He discovered some beautiful images of New York as well as a few of 2 men. In order to inject some adventure into his life he decided to track down the owner of the photographs by compiling a video and posting it to YouTube! A few month later after the video went viral …  Read More »
