Bella Signature Designs

Hello, Everyone! Today's featured staging designs are by Bella Signature Design. Watch as they assemble and stage the lovliest, elegant, luxuriously colorful table setting I've ever seen! The tablescape is absolutely divine! I can imagine dining at that table in a gorgeous place with dim lighting and candle-light ambience.

I discovered Bella Signature Design when I was searching the term 'bella' in my browser, for another post. I clicked on their website link, 'Bella Signature Design' thinking I'd clicked only 'bella' to get the search results page. I was delighted at the accidental discovery, particularly so after seeing their site's YouTube logo and viewing this video, because I love to share the beautiful design works of others!

I think you all will agree that their tablescape is stunning! For more of Bella Signature Design, you may check out their website (link above) and their blog, 'Bella Signature Design', as well. Enjoy!






Kohler KOHLER PEDICURE SPA K-163-0

Kohler Pedicure Spa K-163-0
Aquaessence

Hello, Everyone! Today's feature: Designer Laura Bohn discusses her vision for this tranquil, spa-style bathroom. This bathroom does look like one in which I'd want to linger in after a rose-scented bubble-bath or shower, lounging on the chaise in a thick, luxurious terry cloth robe, reading a book, with essential-oil-scented beeswax candles burning while listening to instrumental jazz or classical music, with a snack-bowl of mixed nuts and a drizzle of raw honey on them. To say the least, this bathroom's tranquility-inducing design is inspiring!

Parking Lot Marks

Hello, Everyone! Today's featured image is, 'Parking Lot Markings 2', a photograph of the surface of a parkine lot. It is the photographic work of DL Ritter and depicts an aesthetic described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent and incomplete".

As I look at 'Parking Lot Markings 2' I see a beautiful abstract art image deserving of just-right framing. I think it would make a wonderful work of art in a room/office of steel-gray and platinum-gray decor.

Alan Babbitt Fine Art Photography

Today's post features the photography of Alan Babbit. I've included the YouTube and Vimeo videos featuring some his work; you can choose the one you want to view and embed.  Learn a bit about Babbit in his own words, below:





Confessions of a Photography Addict

"I was a kid when it started - a mere innocent. My folks got me a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye - my 1st camera. "Here kid", they said. "Enjoy it". What they should have said was, "Here kid. first one's free."

It was nothing at first, a 12 exposure roll here - couple of flash bulbs there. Before I knew it, I fell in with a fast crowd - hanging out in dark rooms!. Experimenting with CHEMICALS!!

It was then I started to break the rules. I began ignoring "NO TRESPASSING" signs. Sometimes, just for the thrill, I'd tilt the camera so the horizon WASN'T HORIZONTAL!!! Finally, I had to get a paper route & sell seeds door to door to feed my habit.

I did try to seek help. I joined a therapy group for photo addicts based on the "12 Stop" program. It didn't click. Everywhere I looked, people were selling film, never once asking for an ID.

Soon, I was out on the streets again, always angling for that next shot. Oh, I'd do anything to get high - climb trees, poles, fences, stairs - I had no pride. It got so I didn't care what people thought as I lay in the street with my wide angle lens stuck out there for all to see.

I hit bottom in Amsterdam. In a Koda-crazed state, I strapped on every piece of gear I'd brought - 2 cameras, 4 lenses, 4 kinds of film, light meters, filters, batteries and a tripod - and walked into town to shoot. Powerful images everywhere - wonderful architecture - smiling faces - magical light - scrumptious french fries. I couldn't crank a frame." ~ Alan Babbit
