I absolutely adore the photos of Australian-born-now-let-loose-in-Toronto-based photographer Naomi Finlay. She “combines her keen awareness of architectural flow with a sense of intimacy as she captures the rhythm of a space”. I think that’s exactly why her photos appear so…believeable. (Thanks for the tip Shannon!)












Simple and dramatic. Minimal and and brooding in that Belgian way. Black and white modern luxury from Ensemble & Associés, Brussels.

A week ago I blogged about a stray kitty that has been holed up in my bathroom while we try and find her a new home. Unfortunately we have yet to find a home for her and she’s still locked up in my bathroom. Since my last post I had someone email me who sounded very interested, but I haven’t heard from them since Tuesday. I guess they changed their minds. 🙁 One other person has offered to take her in, but this person lives a 6 hour drive away and I really don’t want to put the poor cat through that long of a car ride. So far, that’s all I’ve got. The good news is she was at the vets on Friday (for a checkup and her first vaccinations) and was tested for all those nasty feline diseases that typically get passed around to strays…she is thankfully in perfect health. The vet thinks she is about 2 years old. She’s in heat right now which is alot of fun (OMG the howling…hilarious because my husband says it sounds like she’s yelling out “HELLO!”). She has an appointment to be spayed in a week.
Again, if anyone out there thinks they could provide this cat a forever home (and lives in or near Ottawa), please email me @ desiretoinspirekim@hotmail.com.
Help. Please.


TGIF! I thought in honour of the end of the work week I’d treat you all to a visual feast by super talented photographer Caroline Arber. Her photos appear effortless…and natural…and calming. Just what I need. (It’s been a long week).
