He is a <a href="http://www.milesredd.com/bio.php">designer</a> who is not fearless in his use of colour and the juxtaposition of varying textures. I also admire his effortless mix of design genres. I love that oversized art piece and the flokati rug featured above. There’s nothing like the feel of a flokati rug underfoot-so soft and furry.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVz0GdFMJI6XqskbLgNmJMYLYM4F-1v60pE0ex0gXqhLy_szNvZiPVdvfea_H2JW-7IVUFHKEeEiM8841DDXzJTNBSWvawd9pRj7NDkxN_UTKRPjaYAV19vWGT1Nng2fMqhegnM88o0jTq/s1600-h/MilesRedd3%5B4%5D.jpg"><img alt="MilesRedd3" border="0" height="772" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlJgnbzvq-9B0FvPLsLiZv8mNtnMptB6TkEtTj08kcc47bTC4-Q00Sp2fiqZ29gQM96IMsAAJqdfMoHF_p7DIcRVlRCiSw2lVQUwEmjCGql_5ExNidWj9QWU32W7tUfkIKYY2HUNF8eHr9/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="MilesRedd3" width="659" /></a><br /><div align="center">I love the blend of cool and warm tones in this room.

Hence, we spent most of out time outside. Baby Z loves to water the flowers(<span style="font-size: xx-small;">although they’re struggling because it gets so cold at nights</span>).  We even took a short trip out of town where I was reminded of how important technology is. You see, I was shopping for baby Z in the Gap store when one of the clerks said to me, “you know, if you put on your facebook page that you’re  at the Gap store and state its location, you would get 40% off.” I said “really?” while simultaneously reaching for my HTC Evo phone. It was so simple because I already had my facebook icon on my phone and I just typed in that I was shopping at the Gap and gave its location and Voila!  On my home from the trip, I couldn’t help but think that if I wasn’t abreast of technology, then I wouldn’t have been able to save some money.  We do live in a dynamic society where technology is center stage.  It’s definitely advantageous to keep abreast of it all, don’t you think?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-9oaoGBdVk1UFCJL28fsLp41W02nqYF9bZlkq18mQKZt0ogqnzsyAYoWwzp4ETlcwM11tIVibEgVqUVlfch34lafYZQKSsk3PliYtPghRrthrwfTVO_AdQPs8Id5dIGFSbcroVqmXV6lX/s1600-h/random%20072%5B5%5D.jpg"><img alt="random 072" border="0" height="529" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYa-n52FOc4QoLfW4iLltgFLMsZnjQE-gD9oX_wjY6X7yxLK_aU7BX_ZlXC56XphqBYNhoyITDhEywGAiqxJ_izcxAWaBsYaZxLrvoirReTrvsRKmghcN8YdLXn4k8XphLbxf9tGCoHYmw/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="random 072" width="704" /></a><br />The hubby watching over his son.
