A 30 story Hotel constructed in just 15 days you say?....I can't even get a chair delivered from Room and Board for less time!  The Broad group created this pre-fabulous wonder and has received the 2011 United Nations Champions of the Earth award for their Entrepreneurial Vision.  An amazing feat to be sure however I wonder how long it took to plan, engineer and design the building?  Kudos' should go to the project management team who ran this project so tightly! It's not just a feat of engineering but also a major feat of organization. This Hotel is energy efficient and sustainably produced, but would you want to stay there?  Is this the future of building?

Sunny Side Up Monday

I just took some photos to brighten my Monday.... and to help me reclaim my weekend of painting and rearranging my workspace.  I think the abnormally balmy temperatures have triggered my spring cleaning mode a bit earlier than usual.  I have been inspired by the amazing design palettes on Design-Seeds so I thought I would do a "Color Autopsy" of my own.  Both photos are taken using my new and improved painted work tops.... Continuing in the long line of my obsession with gray and yellow combinations.... I painted these both using a high gloss Enamel Premium Behr Paint... I am normally a HUGE Benjamin Moore Paint fan but for painting furniture I have better luck with Behr.  Despite some glitches in  putting things on top too soon, I'm ecstatic with the results! Happy Monday!

I had such a hard time picking the color for this top, (formerly Benjamin Moore's Decorators White) but settled on a great Amphibian gray by Behr.
