Designer Anna Sui has a birthday today -- she is 58 years old! Her apartment decor is very well done, simply stunning. She even has a bathroom that is conducive to selfies worthy of posting on public media 🤳 😀 🤳

I would make similar design choices if I were to change places with her. She lists 10 of her favorite objects of affection in her Greenwich Village NY apartment in the video below. Take a look/see:

Man Robbed of $500, 000 Watch in Beverly Hills

Nice watch! I had never heard of this high-end brand until reading the article the day after the incident. With the publicity generated by the daring robbery, the Richard Mille brand just gained many thousands of fans worldwide, that's for sure.

Investigators said many of the recent robberies took place in broad daylight, with criminals targeting people "wearing high-end jewelry, specifically Rolex watches," the paper reported. - Fox News

The characteristic Richard Mille case shape is now the principal element of the brand's visual identity, ensuring that the watches are clearly recognisable, as are the spline screws visible on both the case and the inside of the movement. The movement is always visible in a Richard Mille watch. - wikipedia

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Matthew 6)

So proud of this Filipina lady -- quite the popular top-tier Designer the world over. What I could afford and needed is what I bought, but her other stuff is very beautiful. Just look at the outside of the box of her simple candle with Agraria!

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly,

his faith is counted for righteousness.

Designer Decor Candles I Like, Part 2

pretty-in-pink rose candle

I want a nice-smelling house! Several pets living up-close-and-personal with you within the confines of your home will do that to a person.

Thus, I am a sucker for sweet-smelling, good-quality candles, sprays, or reed diffusers. Pretty packages are a thumbs-up for me. Famous names/brands impress me more than I care to admit.

1. Agraria

2. Natalie Wood

3. Magnolia

4. Voluspa

What Determines the Success or Failure of ANY Room

A short post from IG, but sooooooooo good! I think I knew this fact instinctively as we remodelled our kitchen area. Of course we were within several constraints, including financial $$$$; but we did what we could.

A Pattern Language “When they have a choice, people will always gravitate to those rooms which have light on two sides, and leave the rooms which are lit only from one side unused and empty.

Therefore: Locate each room so that it has outdoor space outside it on at least two sides, and then place windows in these outdoor walls so that natural light falls into every room from more than one direction.This pattern, perhaps more than any other single pattern, DETERMINES the SUCCESS or FAILURE of a room. The arrangement of daylight in a room, and the presence of windows on two sides, is fundamental. If you build a room with light on one side only, you can be almost certain that you are wasting your money. People will stay out of that room if they can possibly avoid it. Of course, if all the rooms are lit from one side only, people will have to use them. But we can be fairly sure that,they are subtly uncomfortable there, always wishing they weren't there, wanting to leave - just because we are so sure of what people do when they do have the choice.” - - Pattern Language, by Christopher Alexander

There ya have it, folks, the only design secret you need absolutely know and remember. No wonder I was drawn to the above sunny, bright, beautiful rooms as we remodeled.

Pro Life: Singer Joy Villa

I like this gutsy gal! Never heard of her before Mr Trump's election, but I and many more have heard of her by now.

Singer & Trump Supporter Joy Villa Donned a Brilliant Pro-Life Dress Sure to Tick Off Every Leftist at Daytime Emmys - by C Douglas Golden, Conservative Tribune

When it comes to conservative performance art, Joy Villa’s red carpet appearances are a thing of genius.

It all began with her “Make America Great Again” dress at the Grammys in February 2017. That’s when the Trump-fueled outrage of the left was still election-fresh and the merest fact that she had the courage to show support for the new president created a hue and cry unlike any other in Hollywood. You could hear the gnashing of dental implants and the rending of Issey Miyake originals.

And among conservatives, we were all, like, “well done.”

Villa didn’t stop the trigger-fest there, however. Some of her more recent fashion statements have not only been pro-Trump but have also been in support of the unborn, another issue that gives Tinseltown a collective case of hypertension.

And, at the 2019 Daytime Emmy Awards on Sunday in Pasadena, Villa sent a few sphygmomanometers off the charts.
