Guilt Gift

Sorry about yesterday. That was some ugly bizness, but I'm hoping to make it up to you. Let me prove it, baby. I'll never hurt you again.

This gorgeous French home was designed by architect and decorator, Pierre Yovanovitch, and it should act as a healing salve for your sad eyes.

This place is P.I.M.P. Trust.

Later, dudes. I'm going to build a fire and try to avoid freezing to death.

Stay warm.

Hump Day Eye Candy: Tom Mannion

Blog buddies, I'm pooped. House guest + party + no sleep + doctor's appointment = lots of pretty, pretty pictures by uber photographer Tom Mannion. You may remember his patchwork room from last week's post, but if this is your first introduction to his work, fear not my lucky lovelies -- you're in for a treat. Mannion really knows how to create a mood -- whether it be dreamy, melancholy, slick, surreal, or quirky, homeboy has got it covered. Ok, enough talky talk. Bust out your peepers for a visual feast.

I like them all so much -- and as a body of work -- that I'm hard pressed to pick favorites (and you can check out his site for even more huge, gorgeous images). Nevertheless, the worn stairs and the foil blanket hanging in the conservatory are the images I am most envious of (the sincerest compliment I know how to offer, as a photographer), while the nightime chandelier pricks at my heart in an oddly comforting way. How about you? Any particular images that tickle your fancy?
