Colored Intaglios

Have you ever seen framed, colored intaglios? I recently saw them for the first time in the dining room of The Jefferson. Makes me wonder - are these colored plaster, Coral or Carnelian?

These two images are from a French blog here - the first image is a collection of both cameo and itaglios. These were noted as coming from the collection of the late Yves Saint Laurent.

Have you seen intaglios that aren't the typical white?

Tricia Huntley's Lake Geneva Transformation

A few months ago DC based interior designer Tricia Huntley of Huntley and Company mentioned on her blog, Luxe and Lucid, that she had a project in Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Recently she posted the results of this Montreax apartment transformation and it is luxe and gorgeous. This bedroom is a beautiful mix of patterns and textures with various stripes repeated throughout. I love the textile hanging behind the bed.

Here's just one peek into the living room. Love this chair! Along with the furniture, Huntley and Company installed the wallcoverings, lighting, textiles and accessories. The 1970's faux tortoise multi-faceted table is from Georgetown's Darrel Dean's Antiques which Tricia blogged about.

I've never seen this tie treatment for a bedspread - love this detail. Notice the zig zag pattern in the stitching of the spread and in the pillows.

Here's Tricia gazing out at the incredible view of Lake Geneva from the apartment. For more images of the interior and a fun, behind-the-scenes looks at the installation go here.

Sepasang Monyet Yang Mengadopsi Kucing di Bali, Penuh Kasih.[pic]

Luar biasa, walau mereka binatang yang berlainan jenis tapi kasih sanyang monyet pada seekor kucing ini sungguh menyentuh perasaan kita manusia yang menyaksikannya. Inilah yang terjadi di Ubud bali yang berhasil diabadikan oleh seorang fotografer Anne Young dan dimuat di situs Luar Negeri Treehugger, Rabu 25 Agustus 2010 lalu.

Monyet dengan penuh kasih menyayangi kucing yang di adopsi di sebuah hutan di Ubud Bali

Bagaimana kita bisa mengambil sebuah pelajaran dari seekor hewan yang tidak diberkati dengan akal namun mampu membagi kasih dengan binatang lain beda jenis, bagaimana dengan kita manusia yang diberkati Tuhan akal, mampukan kita berbagi kasih dengan sesama, walau beda suku, agama, keyakinan, golongan dan pilihan politik. Apakah kita bisa ikhlas berbagi kasih tanpa pamrih dan tidak membenci pihak lain yang berbeda dengan kita?
