Watching Evan Lysacek's gold medal performance at the Winter Olympics Thursday night was stunning, all: choreography, costume design, and confidence.  You can revisit it here.  Photographs: Getty Images

today I choose red accents

I like just about everything at the design studio of Iacoli & McAllister.  The simple open geometry of the frame lights feel right to me.

Mini pedestals like this one below are one-of-a-kind.  The bases are powder coated brass candlestick holders.  I want to buy thirty of these and open a bakery and display pastries, cheese, and everything yummy right on top!

I saw it again over the weekend!  I am a Jeff Bridges fan and think it is special that he documents and shares his on set experiences.  This photo is from his site.

between red and blue

This photo comes from the opening page of Amy Atlas' website.  I could look for hours at the sweet and magical event designs created over there!  Sidenote: purple is currently my nephew's favorite color.

I am excited for Colin Firth's first Oscar nomination!  If not for Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart, the award would surely go to him.  Photograph by: Matt Carr, Getty Images
