A Beautiful Mess

"A Beautiful Mess"
 

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks ‒ they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like we're picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And "kind and courteous" is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
'Cause here, here we are, here we are
Here we are

We're still here
What a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"

Through timeless words and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds not of this earth

And tides ‒ they turn ‒ and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together

And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it's nice today. Oh, the wait was so worth it.

The Architect Bird

Today, I am inspired by this little bird called Vogelkop Bowerbird.  He is a multidisciplinary little guy.  As I learned about him, my eyes widened as I could not believe what he is capable of!  He's a structural engineer, an architect, and most of all… he's an interior designer with an artistic eye.  He built complex structure with woven dry twigs and called this his home.  He then gathered treasure findings (antique shopping) to decorate his bachelor pad, some with flowers, stones, or colorful dry fruits.  He meticulously arrange them in his own artistic pattern.  All this work to attract the beautiful ladies into his home.  The ladies do have their picking around the neighborhood.  They fly in and out of these handsome lads' houses to check out which home would fit their needs.  With a happy ending, they do fall in love and mate.

Timeless RETRO

Ever want to go back in time and live in the 60's and 70's?  I was a child of the 70's, I was too young to know style back then but for some odd reason I gravitate towards the classic style of that era.  There's something very girly, chic, fun yet filled with sophistication.  

These beautiful flower power wallpaper is a collection of original design of the 60's and 70's from Vintage Wallpapers from Belgium

Who can say no to these cotton candy color refrigerators?  They are from Big Chill, Smeg, and NorthStar
