Home of the inimitable Pablo Picasso. Just look at those dramatic Art Nouveau doors [swoon!]. They look quite Gaudi-esqe, my fave Architect. I love this space, though I could use a lot less of the clutter.

““When you’re designing clothing, you really only have one point of focus, and that’s the body. But home is fabrics and furniture and floors and natural light. If fashion is a planet, home is more like a universe.””

love-spain:

Barcelona, City Center, Spain.

Constructed in the early 20th century, Eixample is a district of the Spanish city of Barcelona known for the urban planning that divided the district into octagonal blocks. Influenced by a range of schools of architecture, Eixample was designed in a grid pattern with long streets, wide avenues, and rounded street corners.

Despite being in the center of a thriving European metropolis, the district provides improved living conditions for inhabitants including extensive sun light, improved ventilation, and more open green space for public use. And of course, the result from the grid-like structure is astounding from above.

HEALTHIER INDOOR PAINTS

The Best Low-VOC Paints for Healthy Indoor Air

Get a fresh, clean look with great colors and healthier indoor air quality.

The answer to another frequently asked question [which paints are healthier?] is covered in this comprehensive slideshow. I am thrilled to see such a vast increase in quality, selection and availability when it comes to eco-paints. Even better? The fact that more and more clients are insisting up on them.
