Vinyl Stickers

I like vinyl appliques. I don't have any yet but I WILL have some in the future. There are so many delicious ones. I love sitting and picturing in my head where they could go and how I could possibly work them in. I think they qualify for the "less is more" idea of design. They are simple yet may provide interesting detail to to your home!

I really like this website.

I got the folowing pictures from this website.

The hand wierds me out a bit, but I like the sprinkling.

This is cute.

I've always loved circles in design.

This would add so much to a little boys room!

Bamboo.

I just love this.
See that girl? That's me laying on the floor next my wall applique. I really am that tan.
Ooomph. See what a punch it gives to the space?
This is just really cool.
I would never use this one but it's fun and looks like an Itunes advertisement to me. Only cool retro people could rock this.
I am REALLY not sure where I first saw these. Someone probably had a post about them on their site and I have been mulling over this idea for a while. Not sure who to credit!

The Burj Dubai

The next "Tallest Skyscraper" is under construction in Dubai, UAE. The Burj Dubai will be at least 705 meters tall and could even be up to 950 meters tall. It will take around 800 million dollars to build with staff pouring in from every known country. (source: http://www.burjdubaiskyscraper.com/)

This is a very beautiful building. With every muscle, it stretches towards the stars. These pictures inspire my imagination and show a glimpse to how the designing of this building went. It must have taken an amazing amount of time and energy to design it. Chicago based architect firm, SOM, is designing the beast (http://www.som.com/). With a scheduled opening date of December 30, 2008 they are building very quickly (about seven days a floor).



I found this building intriguing and thought that some of you would as well.
