My Fall Color: Red-Violet, Fushia & Beets

Maybe it’s because of my beet juice concoctions, but I love the color of beets. Even if I add a small amount of beet, the color surpasses any other vegetable & fruits. I find I see the color more in interiors and design.

A great accent to neutrals.

I took these photos today at the Boston Design Center.

 

 

 

Paper Bag Interiors

This just shows you can use just about any material to cover a wall. Owen, a boutique for both men & women in New York City, uses 25,000 paper bags to line the interior walls and ceiling, creating a honey-comb textured look.

Copper Art, from Sculpture to Jewelry

Even someone who is not a trained artist can make beautiful art from just the love of the material.  After spending so much time installing copper, in a functional way, plumber Bob Kiley began 18 years ago making small objects from copper pipes and fittings. Bob has said, even as a kid he loved making things out of everyday objects, giving something a new purpose, possibly better than before. Known as upcycling.

upcycling- where old products are given more value not less

Pure copper { symbol Cu } is soft and malleable; a freshly exposed surface has a reddish-orange color. It is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, a building material, and a constituent of various metal alloys.
