vinyl floor tape.............................

here is an interesting way to play with colors created by Jim Lambie. Jim Lambie, a Scottish artist, is best known for his striped vinyl floor pieces, which have covered the floors and stairs of multiple gallery and museum spaces in the United States and Europe.The artist meticulously adheres vinyl tape to the floor in a geometric pattern that responds to the building’s architecture.The project presented in this post is called “ZOBOP!” and is a dizzying installation of meandering parallel strips of colored tape laid on the lobby floor and up some stairs of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Here are some other examples of vinyl floor tape.................................



if you have the patience for a project like this it can be a great DIY and inexpensive way to update your floors. vinyl floor tape is widely available in a variety of colors.

Decorating With Books............................

Right up there with fresh flowers and throw pillows, coffee table books are a living room must.  Choose Books that inspire you, Books that will spark up conversation between you and your guests. As a lover of fashion, I like these.........................................................................


 Stack them and add some other home accessories and VoilĂ .........polished decorated look..............
 Coffee table books aren't the only way to decorate with books...............bookcases full of books always look great and how great do those black bookcases look?? I love the cameo sconces too.......................
here's another bookcase that i've been wanting to post, i love the bold color...............fill it up with some books and small accessories and you are ready to go................................
