Moisturizing daily with top quality skin lotion, not for me, but for the artisan who’ll one day make me into a table lamp.

Great article on the upcoming Dreamstate Cafe on 26th and Lyndale (the old Common Roots/Hi Flora space).

The article says "they're leasing the back of it to a yet-to-be-announced bookstore"—I'm hearing it will be Boneshaker's new location!

Coming Soon: Dreamstate Cafe in Uptown

Reverie's owners are bringing a new all-day, plant-based café to the former Common Roots and Hi Flora space on Lyndale Avenue.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

love my life, am grateful to have many projects coming to fruition, however, today I did fantasize about going to the ocean, jumping in a kayak, and paddling until who knows when

This property is so cool and imaginative. Since this entire home feels like a portal to another world, we wanted to create a mural that feels like a spiral portal to a dreamy, starry sky for this attic gathering space and playroom. ✨🌙

Installation process; Photo of mural by Allegra Lockstadt in a private home in Plymouth, MN. The photo shows the artist on a ladder painting a mural on an angled ceiling. The mural features a starry, swirling galaxy that has a swirl of stars, moons, suns, and symbols. Throughout the mural, there are also wispy gold lines spiraling to the center. There is text at the bottom of the mural that reads ‘this room remembers what Earth forgot’

Photos of this property give an idea of how cool and eclectic it is - here are some of my favourites:

01 - Living room area
02 - Custom bar area
03 - 2nd floor atrium area - which has this cool waterfall cystal lighting feature that falls to the floor below it
04 - Custom steampunk bathroom!
