Wander.Lust: Weekend Moments
http://awanderlustlife.blogspot.com/2012/02/weekend-moments.html
Monday, February 6, 2012. While Costa Rica has a vast diversity of flora and fauna, one thing it lacks are coffee shops, there are some, but rarely like the ones I'm used to from my times in college towns (Berkely and Durham). You know? This little moment reminded me of a quote from Tortilla Curtain :. Here is some pictorial evidence of this little surprise plus a little more from the weekend. I have been reading " Just Kids. By Patti Smith, a Christmas gift from my bff ( Dyan. Posted by Wander.Lust.

Wander.Lust: Fashionably Late
http://awanderlustlife.blogspot.com/2012/03/fashionably-late.html
Tuesday, March 27, 2012. New York, London, Paris and Milan. they have all come and gone. Another Fall/Winter season has passed by and, although a little late in posting, I wanted to share some of my favorite looks and designers. For me the coolest chicks this season were Celine (looks 1 and 4) and Chloe (looks 2 and 3). I loved the clean lines, the natural make-up and the nineties minimalism of both collection. Both collections oozed coolness! And last, but not least, the gorgeous gowns! Thanks so much f...

decoro creativity: feeling the heat?
http://decoro-creativity.blogspot.com/2011/06/feeling-heat.html
Friday, June 17, 2011. Last week your mind was whisked away to a tropical island just with a colour. This weeks' colour turns up the heat. It shows aggression, warns of danger, yet it can be exciting, passionate and sexy. Living life a little dangerously, we are attracted to this colour even though we know sometimes we ought not to be. This colour not just wants your attention, it demands it. How could it be any other colour? Red is a sign that food is ripe. Infrared produces a sensation of heat and has ...

decoro creativity: April 2011
http://decoro-creativity.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. With views out to Wollongong, even on an overcast day, there was every reason to look down. As we have had a bit of rain recently, it was all looking very green. At 45m above ground and 710m above sea level, the view from the tower is spectacular, if not a little scary for those afraid of heights (btw if you are not best friends with being somewhere high, like Mr Decoro or another guy we met up there, they did it and made it down all in one piece).

decoro creativity: Why does the same colour look so different?
http://decoro-creativity.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-does-same-colour-look-so-different.html
Sunday, January 1, 2012. Why does the same colour look so different? I spent the last few years studying colour indepth - and what a journey! I have always been intrigued about colour, how (or not) to combine them and where etc. I could judge if a colour scheme applied to a room looked good or not, but was lost when it came to the starting point of deciding which colours to use and where. (I will cover why we can judge, but find applying difficult in a later post). What you see is not what I see: You see...

decoro creativity: December 2010
http://decoro-creativity.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 29, 2010. Inspiration: the back yard. Nature has done all the hard work to come up with organic shapes and wonderful colours to provide more than a lifetime of inspirations. Just a few steps outside there are several trees in our back yard that during autumn look like they are half dead, then they come alive with an abundance of flowers to provide punches of winter colour. 169; decoro creativity 2010. Colour is my day-long obsession, my joy and my torment.". 169; decoro creativity 2010.

Monday, January 30, 2012. Are you playing it safe with white? Whether you are redecorating, extending or building a new house it is exciting yet at the same time very daunting choosing the colours for everything from the floor to the ceiling and everything in-between. Faced with all the choices it is easy to opt for white, after all it is the safe choice. Isn't it? Lets have a look at some of the reasons given for choosing white and why. It is not always the best choice. A few subtle variations of white.

decoro creativity: wimbledon memories
http://decoro-creativity.blogspot.com/2011/06/wimbledon-memories.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Day 9 and men's quarter finals are about to start. I use to often go to Day 7 and 9 of the tournament when it was within driving distance. Now on the other side of the world I have to stay up late to watch the tennis action. Getting past several stewards (I had tickets for a different court) to see Martina Navratilova for my first visit to Centre Court. On the old number one court being enthralled as Bergeria overcame Pat Rafter 13-11 in the 5th set. In 2001 4th round. Simple th...

It was announced this week that Australia has had its wettest two years on record. Source University of Queensland, Brisbane). The rain at its best, is showing a beautiful side with dramatic changes to the landscape.

decoro creativity: a girl can dream
http://decoro-creativity.blogspot.com/2011/06/girl-can-dream.html
Friday, June 10, 2011. A girl can dream. Which calming colour can bring you thoughts that whisks you away to some tropical waters lapping up over your toes as you wander along the shoreline of an exotic island somewhere far away from the chores and grind of daily life? Are you on that island yet? Do you see it? Maybe you have dived into the warm waters, snorkelling over the corals you have immersed yourself in this colour. Turquoise on watson beach, sydney. Tropical waters in maldives. A girl can dream.
