Victoria Haven's work is currently on view (Jan. 12 - Feb. 6th, 2010) at Clark College's Archer Gallery (Vancouver, WA) in a group show titled VANTAGE. As I was looking at the exhibition, this powder-coated steel wall sculpture - which started as a sketch - struck me for its strength of line, geometry and her intentional use of light to create shadows that reflect off the structure. Additionally, the piece sits in relief making it both 2-D and 3-D. Although most of Ms. Haven's work leaves me a bit chilly, this piece combines dimensions, contour and value which rewards and engages the viewer.

I saw this color on a NIKE women's velour top. Love it. I predict I'll be seeing it more this spring. UPDATE: Saw it at TARGET too. BTW: this is a TEMPERATE color: both warm and cool depending upon what you place next to it.

Tucked away in a quiet NE Vancouver, WA neighborhood is a CHRISTMAS SPECTACLE to rival all Christmas spectacles. Not only is every inch of the Assurety Senior Care Center's architectural and landscaping space chromatically illuminated, the carefully arranged light show flashes in sync with a medium-loud "We Wish you a Merry Christmas". I love driving by and being jarred by such a sight, but I definitely wouldn't want to be a neighbor! Image source: assurety.org

I love this Stockholm side table from IKEA because of its whiteness and natural wood and glass components. The sliding glass top opens to a bit of a tray, but not large enough for even a magazine! At least my pens will fit. Image source: ikea.com
