To save a tree

My renovation plans have had me thinking about how I can save a tree. A thirty year old Frangipani that would be right in the path of a potential garage door. I cannot bring myself to cut it down and have been researching how I could move it. Every home needs a beautiful tree, just like this one.

Resting

One thing South Africans do well is public holidays. I've been enjoying one of many, and apparently we just got another. The 27 of Dec has just been declared a new public holiday. Just not sure what for? Spent the whole time clearing out the garage in huge anticipation of the 'studio' renovation due to take place early next year. And a little time spent looking for inspiration. Found this on photographer James Geer's website.

Day three

Whew, exhausting work this catalogue shooting business.... here are a few little things keeping me going right now.  A courtyard moment. Hoping that one day it will be summer again.

Take it to the basement

After losing all my stored images from my last computer, finding these favorites again was so exciting. I've never forgotten decorator Steven Gambrel's spectacular West Village basement kitchen. I think if one tried to replicate it above ground or with more windows it just would not be the same.
