Rainy Days and Mondays...

The Carpenters! Today was a rainy Monday. Grew up in the 70's and it seems like we are having a bit of those times again lately! In the Interior Design industry, very clean lines, wood, shag rugs, groovy colors, and mod is everywhere. Check out Dwell magazine for some great ideas!! After performing in the musical "Hair" upon graduating from design school in the early 90's, I started my design career. The musical was about the Vietnam War (Iraq) and we were all hippies (lots of guys with long hair today), we grew our hair long and protested the war. For the months that I toured doing that show, my eyes would well up every night at the end of the show. The song that did it was while we were on our knees all in a line holding our crossed hands tightly singing:


We starve-look...

At one another ....

Short of breath.....

Walking proudly in our winter coats

Wearing smells from laboratories

Facing a dying nation

Of moving paper fantasy

Listening for the new told lies

With supreme visions of lonely tunes

Somewhere.....

Inside something there is a rush ofGreatness

Who knows what stands in front ofOur lives

I fashion my future on films in space

Silence Tells me secretly

Everything....Everything


Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sun shine in....


We are facing some similar times but dream big, who knows exactly where you will end up. "Silence tells me secretly, everything..... let the sunshine in!"
