Paper will always live



Sometime soon I'm going to take an entire month and read a book a day. Maybe you can help me plan out my reading list. Feel free to submit ideas. I would definitely need a good ratio of fiction to non-fiction, but would love to get some suggestions. I love books. I love time. Sometime I will have time to read lots and lots and lots of books.
My favorite interior design element is lighting. It can completely make or break a space. Thus, the recent post I had about compact fluorescent lighting. I can't handle it; I think it literally makes my skin crawl. That's no exaggeration. I tend to buy too many lamps. I have to really restrain myself when I see some great lighting on sale. I already have moved things around to fit too many lamps in some small spaces and have a few too many lights in storage. However, I'm still looking for the perfect lighting situation for above my counter/stove in my kitchen....I need a trip to a decent lighting store. But I'd surely be a kid in a candy store and would need to go with someone who could restrain my purchases to the urgent need at hand.
I found a fantastic design shop in The Netherlands that makes beautiful lighting from books. Wow....what a marriage of function, love and beauty. Okay, that may be a bit dramatic, but I'm certain my friends Mandy (the author) and Michelle (the librarian) will appreciate the aesthetic joy of these; they definitely give a new meaning to reading lamp.

I'm really not much for blogging. I can't imagine that anyone would want to read about how my son forgot his Spiderman lunchbox this morning and I had to make an extra trip out to go deliver it to him so he didn't go hungry for the day, but from time to time I do find myself wanting to share something with all my website friends. For that I will use this "flog" page, or my faux blog as I had been calling it before I came up with this ridiculous new name. (Flog, incidentally, also means "promote or talk about something repetitively or at excessive length;" that definition seems somehow fitting.)

I can't tell you exactly how frequently I will post new things here, but whenever I come across something that I think might interest you in a creative, inspirational way (or something that makes me say "ooooh" or makes me laugh hysterically) I will post it here. Please feel free to drop me an email if there is something on here you'd like me to research further for everyone's benefit or if you have an idea for a topic.

Thank you for visiting and please check back often!
