One of my favourite quotes

When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me
that happiness was the key to life.
Went I went to school, they asked me
what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I wrote down "happy".
They told me I didn't understand the assignment
and I told them
they didn't understand life.

Remembrance Day 2009

LEST WE FORGET

*GASP*

A reader, Paddy, sent us this link the other day that had me gasping in delight. Seems there is a limited edition (of 500) gold metallic miniature version of the S chair released to celebrate the opening of the Panton Chair exhibition at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery. What I would do to get my hands on one of these!!

Kim's page

So this is MY PAGE. When Jo and I were trying to figure out what we could have as pages on the new blog, I thought it would be a nice touch to each have our own page where we can publish anything we want - mostly non-design related and more personal stuff. That way our readers get a glimpse into our lives and what interests us, besides design. I'm not sure what the heck I'll be posting here - so I guess you'll have to stay tuned. :)

Since Jo started off by talking a bit about herself then perhaps I should do the same. Well, I am a thirty-something web developper from Ottawa, Canada, and I live in Little Italy with my 7 cats. I bought my current home in December of 2007. It's far from my dream home, but at the time I was in a rush to find something that was liveable, and in the city. My house was apparently built in 1915, is 926 sq. ft. and is 12' 2" wide. Every room in the house needs work, and it's a slow work in progress (my boyfriend Jeff is a huge help with my house projects so you'll notice him mentioned often). I have had the kitchen gutted and remodeled (see my kitchen blog), and hope to maybe add on to the back of the house. Here's a little glimpse (and there's much more on Flickr).
