D Room Is Ready For the Chinese New Year

We decided a whole ago that we would repaint the dinning room. Yeah, paints were purchased a quite long ago. We wanted it some kind of golden, metallic and rich. Surely it is so different than what we had ever done before. Still, when we started putting layers of paint on, we had some moments of uncertainty - too much golden, too pinkish .... Somehow, Sammy found some combination we started to like. At the end of a couple weekends' hard work, we realize that we really love it.

It appears that we did create something that does not fit into a clear style. It hosts a mixture of aesthetic movement, Chinese, hippie and rustic modern well. I guess that a style is something that is felt but do not have to be defined.

Something brought back from Savannah

As I mentioned, Savannah definitely has gone through transformation for better or worse. A lot of nice shops and swanky restaurants. I do not mean Paula Dean's red neck -Hey Ya'll crap. Savannah should never be famed because of that. We visited a few nice antique shops. I am most impressed with a couple of Asian antique shops.
Just a lot of wonderful quality stuffs.

We happened to run into this home design store DC2D Design. A piece of Chinese Ceramic lantern caught our eyes.
Even better is that the whole shop is on sale since the store will be moved to a new space four times larger across the street.The owners are from LA and very friendly. We have to try hard to squeeze this lantern and a vase into our Beetle with all our backpacking gears. Here they are:javascript:void(0)

Savannah - Southern Charm

My Garden Dream In Dungeness Ruin

I always fantasize that one day we will find a place that has a ruin. I can create a beautiful garden in and around it. When I see Dungeness ruin, I can not think of anything better than that. It is so sad to see the ruin is fenced off. It would be the dream world if I would be allowed to create my dream garden in and around it. The garden would connect our imprint from yesterday to today.

Nature Has Force

Life Passes By But The Place Still Stands

At the north tip of the island, it stands a tiny church which is the first black baptist church in US. It was built in 1893. One event made this unknown humble building fame when John F Kennedy Jr. got married. One picture was on all the media outlets when the couple stepped out of this 12 seat church. It is still sad to think this day that these beautiful people just vanished so young. It reminds us of cherishing when we have it.

Human Imprint Today

Human Imprint Yesterday

Into Cumberland Island

It was 4 years ago when I was introduced to Cumberland and tasted a few slices of this natural beauty. Since, its constant texture - palmetto, live oak and Spanish moss and wild horses brings a lot of imagination what it was long long time ago. I always wonder what a incredible natural arrangement is having palmetto green carpet and magnificent live oak with hanging Spanish Moss stands out above. One day hope that I can see this natural works by flying above the island. Beyonds, it is human imprint makes it more intriguing place to just walk between trails and the main road.
