interior decor: calming and esthetically pleasing style

A man ‘s home is his  castle. I think I’ve heard this saying a dozen times and since I truly appreciate all forms of design and architecture, I truly believe that if a home is a man’s castle (well in my book it’s also a woman’s castle) then he, and once married, mostly she should find ways to  make it a calming and esthetically pleasing place and of course words are not enough to express what I mean (as usual) so here are some of my favorite calming and esthetically pleasing style 🙂 {click on first photo to start the slideshow}

While in a bookstore, I bypass the gossip magazines and go straight to the art and architecture section to glance at feature articles about the artists behind their work. Of course, I do the same online. So, just the other day I came across some of the most beautiful and extra ordinary artwork from here and Facebook, which I wanted to share with my readers and tell you how I envy those who followed their passions in life.
