We are now into the final week of July and I have not updated this blog since the end of June. Sorry for the absence but I was in Turkey for a few weeks and then out of town again so the blog just didn’t happen.
I saw a lot of amazing things on my trip but one of the most inspiring was the Library at Ephesus from 74 AD. Seeing such a unique building that was almost two thousand years old was beyond belief. Of course the whole city of Ephesus just blew me away with how much was still preserved and the intricate details everywhere.
This week our featured website is the Turkish architecture firm Emre Arolat Architects. The site itself is very well 
designed with a lot of white space and minimal clutter. This is really appreciated when you get to their section on works and the whole page centers on the clear, crisp photos of their projects. There really is a wealth of information and photographs on this site, so try not to get too lost. (Know of a website we should feature on this blog?

Saturday, March 6th, 2010
Hello and welcome to the first week of March. With today’s weather it definitely feels like Spring is on it’s way. I’m starting to categorize all of the projects around our house and the new warehouse space.
One thing we’re trying this year is to look at one room each week and see what little changes and minor fixes we can make to it without spending too much money. We started with the master bathroom and have been taking care of all those nagging little problems that just keep getting put off. We’ve also started changing small bits of decor, like the heat vent, that just didn’t match the rest of the room. (We had a white heat vent while all of the other hardware in the room is wrought iron.) The little bits of change have cost us under $100, but the difference has been amazing. We’re going to try and carry this on through the whole house taking on one room over the course of one to two weeks. Next week I’ll get some before and after shots.
This week we are featuring one of my favorite online furniture stores, Art Van Furniture from Michigan. They are a chain, but only have stores in one state so I just look at them online. One of the most useful features of their site is their Room Planner. You can use this tool to draw a custom sized room and then use their icons to see how you’d like to lay things out. You can even save and print your rooms. It’s a great idea planner and is helpful even if you aren’t in the market for new furniture.
This March we are featuring 15% Off all the wonderful Rosalie Sherman Designs decorative hardware. Rosalie Sherman designs feature animal themes and will brighten your day with their whimsical door bells, door knockers, drawer pulls and cabinet knobs. All designs are created in Pennsylvania and are shipped directly from the artist herself. Give your room some character and add a few Rosalie Sherman accents.

I saw a lot of amazing things on my trip but one of the most inspiring was the Library at Ephesus from 74 AD. Seeing such a unique building that was almost two thousand years old was beyond belief. Of course the whole city of Ephesus just blew me away with how much was still preserved and the intricate details everywhere.
