I am a strong believer that the quality of your work space has a significant impact on your productivity. You need to create that corner, that spot in your house or office that gets you in the right mind set for high performance. Lighting, view, paint/color, your own sense of Feng Shui, and furniture have to be considered well to bring that effect.
I saw this office/study furniture store in Little Italy, Manhattan. It looked cute from the outside and that was what drew my attention. I went in and explored the pieces of furniture they had; I liked the simplicity of the design and the lightness of the materials. As the name of the store says, they are Goods for the Study; but they are good for study as well. They would make a minimalist, bright, and comfy space.
I was exploring Harlem on foot when I ran into these stylish men. I asked if I could take a picture; I told them it was for my blog. Even though I am mostly interested in taking pictures of buildings and other built structures, they caught my eyes. I found out they were brothers. Both equally stylish; one with a flamboyant sense of fashion and the other with an understated one.
The one with a funky, pink hat invited me up to his clothing store on the second floor of the building, in front of which I met them. It was a delight to chat with him; his personality matches the flamboyance of his style. It was also fun to browse his store. He has great vintage and new items. In fact, one of my greatest fashion finds happened in it.
I saw similar crosses hanging down Ethiopian women's necks. I also saw them dangling on their chests when they do the traditional dance, "eskista". The above were a decor at my friend's apartment and they work well as a wall-hanging, too.
