<span style="font-size: 18pt;">One year ago, I sat with a fellow blogger and
confessed that I was addicted to an online pinboard. As proof I pulled up a set
of jeweled magnetic pinboard clips I had followed through several re-pins and a
blog until I could locate the source. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">If you have a snazzy creation to share
with the world, Pinterest may be your channel to market.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">The analytic maps shows what types of people
use Pinterest, how the site interacts with other social media tools, how fast
and how large the company has grown, and which companies are benefiting from
the additional brand exposure. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 18pt;">Btw, <a href="http://dailyinfographic.com/"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">Daily
Infographic</span></a> is an information design and data visualization website.
The site produces interesting, visually stimulating, mind blowing infographics.
You can <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=DailyInfographic&loc=en_US" style="color: black;">sign

I didn't copy <i>every</i> post from <a href="http://notmybeautifulhome.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Not My Beautiful Home</a> - tempting as it was. Every once in a while I wander onto a blog, get lost in it and everything outside of my laptop screen disappears. Well people, this is one of them. I have that whole "give me an old bottle, three river rocks, a tube of glitter, and some pvc pipes so I can pimp my house" vibe.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am going back now. Race you there!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">You can see in the room plan above that bookcases or open shelving on the opposing wall will alleviate the chore of moving everything out of the room every time you need to switch tasks. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will keep the nerd factor to a minimum. A fractal is a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole. If you want a bigger dose, and it is worth learning about, do your nerdy art loving heart a favor and check out the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal" target="_blank">Wikipedia page</a>. Fractals are an amazing phenomenon found in most of nature.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Blitz summary of events that brought Neal, and me, to learn about fractals:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Adler's hired assassin shipping Nazi dishes. A music box stolen by the
Nazi's. Neal's true love gets blown up. A fractal in the music box Neal and Alex think points to
something that went missing in the '40's. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As another favor for your nerdy art loving heart, watch the show, faun over the world traveled decor, and pretend Mat Bomer does not count as a piece of the art work.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am sharing a DIY idea from <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/272409/office-in-a-chest" target="_blank">MarthaStewart</a>.com: how to transform a traditional piece of bedroom furniture into a multitasking
mini office, complete with bulletin board and filing cabinet.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">To make the bulletin board: </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cut a piece of 1/2-inch-thick cork
(available at office-supply stores) to fit the underside of the lid;
affix it with craft glue.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">To make the sliding supply organizer: </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cut two strips of molding to fit inside the long sides of the chest; use
small nails to attach a strip along each side, several inches below the
lip, to support a tray (as pictured). To make the tray: Cut a piece of
craft paper the length and width you'd like the tray to be (make sure it
will be wide enough to rest on the strips of molding), and mark the
depth needed on the template. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bring the paper to a home-supply store
that sells wooden drawer organizers, and arrange enough organizers on
top of the paper to cover the surface. At home, paint the organizers to
match the chest, and let dry. Use wood glue to attach to one another. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>To
create a filing system:</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Insert adjustable hanging file-folder frames
inside the chest.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Why it works:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>signature modern touches</i></b></span>: clean surfaces and organized displays</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. contemporary <i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>glam</b></span></i>: disco ball light</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. a tad bit of <span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>spunk</b></i></span>: contrast-colored revolver to the right</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>guilty pleasures</i></b></span> in moderation: animal hide and rich red drapes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Design is personal. This room reminded me how important it is to let your personality take center stage.</div>

Color blocking is the coolest of cool fall trends. It's a grown up way of reliving your childhood tendency to wear all of your favorite colors at once. Well, now that trend is all chic and grown up and it has moved indoors.<br />

You may notice the design are not pattern heavy. The walls, accessories, and floors are minimal as well. The trick to color blocking is to allow those beautiful, bold hues to speak for themselves.<br />

It would not be entirely inaccurate to say I am the sort of girl who likes to cut the bull and see a thing through. Case in point: I decided Sunday evening to paint my accent wall black and had half of it done within the hour.<br />

<br />
<br />
Let me tell you, I L.O.V.E. the color black (or absence of color? whatever). The only barrier to painting was to decide whether I wanted all black walls or black stripes. This photo from <a href="http://www.designformankind.com/page/3/">Design for Mankind</a> almost made me come undone.<br />
<br />

<br />
But I had already done vertical stripes in a <a href="http://stylebent.blogspot.com/2010/03/good-morning-sunshines.html">previous apartment</a>. Soooooo... Viola! Today is Tuesday and I am the proud stunter of a floor to ceiling chalkboard wall.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My advice to people who may also want to try this out:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) It is just like any other painting job. No harder and same prep tools.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Be sure you choose a wall where you won't want to move decorations around. Empty nail holes really stand out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Add a second layer. Small spot will show through sort of like scratches if the paint is too thin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) Do not spend more than $10 for the paint. The hardware store near my house charges twice that. I asked them to price match Home Depot and got it knocked down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's all for tonight. Stay tuned for styling updates!</div>

It's been a rainy week in DC. Since I was forced to entertain myself indoors, I decided to photograph my current pillow arrangement on the bed. I have had white bedding for nine years. This little sequin pillow is just enough to satisfy my sense of drama.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you all are enjoyed the time indoors this week.</div>

"Imagine a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where everybody

colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never
boring. A city that felt like a party where everyone was invited, not
just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like

Some days I just want to put on a tutu and biker boots, spike my hair and tell the world to chill the heck out. This quote takes me to that place every time I read it. I hope you will all come along for the ride. Happy Thursday.<br />

Unlike most people, I love, Love, LOVE organizing. And that warm tingly good feeling of knowing where all my stuff is makes the whole shebang worth it. When a friend and I decided to start looking for apartments together I automatically started brainstorming all the ways we could make our separate lives fit into an iddy bitty patch of rented real estate. Meet: the roommate desk. <br />
