Happy Friday

Woolly Pockets

I arrived home from DC to find the remnants of a photo shoot that took place at our pad over the weekend. Upstairs and down, inside and out, there are the most beautiful vertical gardens hanging from our walls. They were so generous to gift us the fruits of their labor. Quite literally....


From the looks of it, the entire garden that has popped up outside my kitchen is edible. In addition to the berries there are herbs and kale and cabbage. Almost too pretty to eat.

The indoor plants are equally as spectacular.

I do miss the mirror that this piece replaced so we'll probably have to do some relocating but its a nice temporary change. I love the way plants change a space. Bring it to life. Add a layer of texture and dimension.


These do that and, in the case of the edible garden, more. Because as I said they are almost to pretty to eat....

But not quite.

Art Crimes

As spotted driving over Laurel Canyon one sunny morning last week. A few older posts with some of my favorite's here but usually I notice them in passing when I'm not armed with a camera.

Culver Citys Almost Invisible Boxes

This is our quaint city center that has completely transformed in the last three years. Just prior to all the new restaurants and galleries moving in we noticed the utility boxes. Although at first it appeared to be the work of crafty graffiti artists we came to the conclusion, due to the amount of money a project such as this would cost, that the city was behind it.


Artist Joshua Callaghan applied photographs to vinyl on all four sides of the nine eye sores to "integrate the boxes into the surrounding landscape".



This installation is located in downtown Culver City's Town Plaza.
