The Very Pink of Perfection

Softness, affection, innocence, and love...
Hues of carnation, fuchsia, cherry blossom, magenta, lavender rose, puce, amaranth, cerise.
Oh the beauty and bliss of being tickled pink...

Junk Collage?

I Googled 'Collaged Furniture' and found this image.

{Silly me. I was thinking paper collaged onto furniture... not furniture collaged onto furniture!} Artist Thomas Wold's creation, as seen on Apartment Therapy blog, reminds me of the casework created for a retail wine shop that I wrote about on my retail design blog. This stuff is COOL and I'm heading out to the shop to grab some 'junk orphans' to see what I can create. What do you think about it?? Too progressive for the vintage set - or just quirky enough to elicit squeals of delight?

Ok, then... you win!

Our favorite links have been restored to the sidebar!

{Sorry if you clicked in over the past hour or two and couldn't get on the blog -

I had to pull it down while working on this new format}

Here's a quick tour of the changes:

Everything about Retreat is on the left.

Friends, fans, followers, visitors and resources are on the right.
