Furniture Obsession: Chests

This could be my favorite.

I am crazy about some furniture.  I have recently been obsessing over what many call "bachelor chests"; small, usually three or four drawer chests that go beside a bed, or under a window, or stand all on their own.  Check these out.

Friday Inspiration: House Beautiful

When was the last time you cracked the cover of a House Beautiful magazine?  Me either, until it became an online resource.  I am sitting in LAX, surfing through some sites and snagged these inspirational photos. Each one has something I really like. Each one brings something to the table.  Might just be one table, or a chair, or the overall saturation of color and texture.  Something.  Enjoy!

Cars We Love: Jaguar S-Type

I've only driven this car a few times.  Each and every time was when I got a big upgrade from National Rent A Car.  Once, my boss asked me not to accept upgrades because other people in the company thought it improper that "sales" should rent luxury cars.  Silly. Like people who think because I fly in First Class I paid for the ticket? Ridiculous.  I like the general aesthetic of this now defunct model.  This one is the S-Type R. Nice 8 cylinder. Beautiful satinwood burl... lovely.
