Desgin Beans on Current Color Theory: "brown is the new neutral colour. Along with the furNATURE trend that sees more and more the influence of shapes taken from Nature, the use of dark browns, whites, vanilla, graphite grey, grey-brown shades and natural-brown harmonies is definitely taking the position of leading colour trend."

The Wine Guy Bottle Holder: ...just for fun.

Gee, ya think?! :)

ps: that ocean carpet is way cool, and another lust-worthy addition to the inventory of the mostly-white, brightly-colored art-punctuated slightly-edgy, very modern, ocean-facing fantasy condo I am furnishing in my head.

"The amount of water you have in the glass affects the tone of the alarm."

Which translates into "the amount of water the cat drinks or knocks out of the glass during the night affects the tone of the alarm"?

Once I've spilled the water all over myself and the night table, I don't think I'm going to be interested in the tone of the alarm...

As for Oktoberfest, Garrison has his dates off so don't go booking your tickets to Munich...Oktoberfest strangely enough takes place mostly in September...
