A recent deluge of out of town guests have been keeping me and my guest room busy. While I’m still working on the basics (ahem…nightstands! lamps!), I found this guest room checklist that has been acting as my long term inspiration:
I already have a few of these for guests: flowers, waste bin, scented candles, magazines, even snacks. What do you think? When you visit people, what would make the guest room more comfortable?

Never stops, beautiful, inspiring, crowdy, fashion, food ,business and architecture – these are the words that can define Milan in all its perspectives. As one architect said that ” Milan was build for business, but Rome for people”, you could actually feel it when you are there. Even though the city is filled with loads of local and individual businesses, it makes it in a way special and you start loving it when you walk on it’s roads. Architecture has its own chic and uniqueness that makes it shine even more.
Having a two week workshop in Pavia within an Architectural Competition, and having the chance travelling to Milan it was a huge experience and just wonderful days. Milan rises into you some kind of wildness or child that is kept inside you. Me and my friends escaped from the whole group for a bit and run away to see the main square. We knew there is something more to see there. Just for the record, those weeks we were in Milan, were very special because of the Carnival and Fashion Weeks. So you could only imagine how many people were attending fashion weeks and you can get the feeling. Getting back to our escape plan : reaching the main square we got amazed by the amount of fashionable people sitting eating Italian ice cream and enjoying sun and themselves. In that rush hours, time stopped for everybody and everyone was the same under the sun, loving it. It was magical. It was it – Milan. Love from the first sight.
Our life is similar to the kind of Spider Cobweb that is filled with multiple fibers. Fibers meant to be our ways in life, which seems to be a lot of them. There is never just one way, but various that you can actually pick from. The whole integrity of ways sometime intersect each over and you end up in the same point where you started. And all roads seem to be similar and not taking you anywhere. After not a long time rain is coming and is showering all around. You feel the heaviness of the drops that are the problems and density of the things and aims you had in the beginning of the road. Luckily we have got our Mr.Sunshine coming and spreading sparkles and light, where everything doesn’t seem so complicated but actually you start enjoying your life path and gain power for keep looking for the anything and everything you want. It seems pretty easy to let our selves down…and to leave as it is. But there is just one step to go away from this and you decide when to make it. Never stop fighting and dreaming. If one road is closing, than take another one and never stop dreaming and losing focus on your goals, cause this defines you the most in the crowd.
