Dream Roomspiration: A little Lip Service from Jonathan Adler

They say that if you love yourself the only thing that passes from your lips is love... most of us are works in progress. Barbie thinks a little more lip service in your decor to keep you focused on words of love can’t hurt...

It would for Barbie!

Dream Roomspiration: Upcycled Photographs & Prints

Barbie loves to photograph all sorts of things and once in a while she doesn’t love the finish of a print. But rather than rip it and throw in the trash waste fully she finds a new purpose for it. Why? Since photo prints go through a chemical process they can’t be recycled easily. So repurposing them for use elsewhere helps the environment... and she encourages other to consider being less wasteful and do the same. Caring about the world starts in your home!

The Legacy House by The Jarvis Group

Having a legacy doesn’t always mean being liked and having a good one isn’t about a creating or leaving a materialistic impression of yourself or your work behind... Barbie loves when dreamhouses leave legacies of being lived in and here’s a home that most likely will leave an impression behind for years to come. 

The Legacy House by The Jarvis Group

A rustic cabin dreamhouse with so many amenities one could barely know which to ask for.

Would you want your legacy to be a dreamhouse?

Barbie might.

Enjoy!

Give & Take

Life is full of compromise. But in order to compromise with anyone, you must know your limitations and have boundaries. There will always be someone scolding you or telling you that you are giving too much or taking too much from others... likely they’re mad you aren’t giving to them. Don’t listen to their words. Trust yourself and develop an instinct for what works best for you. The world is full of a lot of nonsense including people and it’s a choice of what you have to listen to. I could give you answers... but where’s the fun of you learning the truth yourself?  And you’re never alone in learning, someone will have the answer or help out if you ask. 

Do you let people tell you who to give to or take from? Didn’t think so.

Here’s something that’s about asking and maybe about boundaries... ala Matisse, I won’t discuss it.  

Enjoy!

Kisses, m.
