weekend home style: eames era

It's beginning to get very nippy over here. Autumn has finally taken over. All of a sudden everyone is walking around in big coats with scarves. Many times this week I was dressed inappropriately, it's hard to make the transition from no coat at all to massive coat, hat, etc.

I've gotten very into eames era and dansk-ish furniture.
I've had these photos on my computer for awhile now, the feel of the house kind of reminds me of these styles.

I like how the curves of the coffee table mirror the curves of the sofa

nice wooden dresser with his 'n her sides

notting hill carnival

The notting hill carnival is quite an experience for the senses. If you walked the entire route of the carnival it would take 5 hours. There's lots of music, lots of cooking (lots of chicken), lots of people (600,000 this year), lots of police (over 5,000 visible), and lots of horses (used by police for riot control).

cookies 'n' cakes

some may think cookies are too polite for carnival, but others think not

crowds coming down the street


food being sold, imagine closing all the doors and windows to your kitchen and cooking lots of fried foods- that's the carnival smell

ready to face the never-ending crowds


just a tiny portion of the overall crowd

overall, everyone stayed alive and had a good time
