A GOLDEN PIG ON A FIREPLACE MANTEL MAKES THIS FRIDAY GOOD!

Cozy living room with bright walls, upholstered armchairs and sofa, montage of photos over the fireplace mantel and a gold Harry Allen Bank in the Form of a Pig

Happened upon this photo from London photographer James Merrell. I liked this simple and attainable living room; affordable looking furniture, bright walls, cozy looking upholstered armchairs and sofa, clever use of a montage of photos over the fireplace mantel…AND….MY PIG!!!

This makes this Friday extra good…I love this gold Harry Allen posh piggy bank design called Bank in the Form of a Pig.

I have this pig in silver and I love it. I keep it in my office. For some reason it cheers me up whenever I see it.

Just made my day…to find my pig buried in a photo on Good Friday. Now that I’ve amused myself with this find…I think I will go do some substantive good on this Friday and go be nice to people who could use some “nice”!

    Love this casual chic look – the photos above the mantle rock – and yes the piggie is amazing! (I like the silver way better).

    I’m just going through all of your archives and found this one that I just HAD to comment about!

    This gold pig was featured in the movie 27 Dresses, with Katherine Heigl and James Marsden. They’re registering for her sister when he scans this, and I’m pretty sure he meant it to be funny! (At least *I* thought it was funny! But then, he’s so adorable that I just laugh and sigh wistfully at all of his antics! LOL)

You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.

Sometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where ySometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where you’re doing it.
So today, I took my work somewhere else. ☕️💻
A little change of scenery, a different view, a few hours away from my usual desk and somehow the workday felt a little lighter.
I’ve found that working somewhere else can be a nice reset when I’m feeling stuck, uninspired, or just too used to the same routine. It’s not necessarily about being more productive; sometimes it’s just about making the day feel different.
A little workday change of scenery with me. 🤍
Would you take your work somewhere else for the day?

A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. It tells you everything about the history of the space. The patina, the pattern, the way light moves across it. These are the rooms that prove good bones never go out of style.
What’s your favorite parquet pattern?
