Sometimes its long after its already grabbed so many others. I know that the movie 500 Days of SUMMER has been out for a while now, but I really just can’t seem to get enough of all the eye, ear, and brain candy that is placed perfectly throughout this film.
Peep this chalkboard wall
lovely moments
The thing that most grabbed at me was one of the main characters ‘Tom’s ‘ masculine chalkboard infused bedroom. The beauty of this part of the film is that his room has one full wall that has been painted with chalkboard paint, but continues to change at various times throughout the film. For you artsy folk out there, its worth watching just to take a ganders at this chalkboard wall.
Here are some other gems with chalk to get you all inspired…
I'm calling this the mustache look! & I love it
I feel like chalkboard paint is such a fun way to spice things up for the artistically minded DIYer or homeowner. Give a sense of creative freedom to the owner. How fun would it be to erase your doodles, or to let your kids run rampant fingers of chalk all over one of your walls?
kids can finally play!
I hope that you’ll watch it, and enjoy it just as much as I did.
I’m seriously pumped for this album to come out! Can’t wait to get my paint on to it!
SADE 2010
Sade takes me back to a trip I once did to Guatemala and Belize.
One of my besties Carlee on the trip and I would sit in the back of every bus, truck, or car for our long excursions and listen to Sade sing sweet melodies all over the magical lands of Central America. I’ll never forget when she sings: “I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul” in King of Sorrow. Such a sweet voice and powerful words!
“SADE SET TO RELEASE SOLDIER OF LOVE WORLDWIDE ON FEBRUARY 8th SOLDIER OF LOVE MARKS SADE’S FIRST NEW STUDIO ALBUM SINCE THE MULTI-PLATINUM LOVERS ROCK”
Looks like there will be some upcoming tour dates too! Oh 2010 THANK YOU!!!!!
* Here is a trippy little side note… I did not even notice the Ruins in the back of this photo until after I posted this article. Apparenly they are the ruins of Teotihuacan which I have been too as well! Isn’t that something…
It comes in all forms my friends… Paint isn’t just for walls and furniture…
I’m going to get all mushy gushy on you before this very special NEW YEARS that we have nearing upon us! 2010 beckons and it brings with it a whole new space for us to paint ourselves a fresh coat of something beautiful!
LIFElong
My wish for YOU is that you find love in unexpected places, beauty in even the plain and pale, and a clean slate… a chance to finally regain the reins on all of your goals and maintain a strong sense of SELF worth and purpose. We all make mistakes…but the light is always shining for us…if only we can open our eyes to see it!
Its always out there waiting for us!
This man’s music has blown me away, swept me up and put a big ol smile on my face.
A sweet Thank you to CollinDel for sharing this musical splatter with us via his love letters to his conscious! & now I share with you…
I saw this on my friend Joe Beuckman’s facebook page this morning and couldn’t stand to not share this painty marvel. What an inspiring way to start the day, if I do say so myself! Aside from the gorgeous artistic creativity in this video, I loved watching the sun rise and set on the masterpiece.
