dark parquet

Si dice che il parquet andrebbe scelto di un colore chiaro. Per vedere meno i graffi, e per dare luminosità. Non troppo tempo fa era addirittura esploso il parquet chiarissimo dall'effetto invecchiato - avete presente, no?

A me il parquet piace da impazzire, in tutti i modi. Ma se dovessi scegliere ora, lo prenderei decisamente scuro. Guardate qua sotto e ditemi se non è bellissimo...da' una profondità incredibile.

They say that the perfect colour for a parquet is a light brown. Scratches will be less visible, and the final result will be brighter. The latest trend was almost-white, aged parquet - you all have seen it I think.

I really have a passion for parquet floors, whatever colour they are. However, if I had to pick one now, I would definitely choose a dark brown. Look at these photoes and the incredible depth that it gives to the room...it's beautiful.

people are wonderful, and do wonderful things

This is a declaration of love to all the people in the world.
Sometimes they make me angry, sometimes they make me hurt. Sometimes they are just not fair.

But they are wonderful, poetic and fragile. They are strong, they are brave, they are fun.

And they make beautiful things.

Here are some great pics I found on some new blogs I discovered (and an "old" dear acquaintance of mine ;)):
