Advances in Green Energy!!

“This week Rem Koolhaas’ Office for Metropolitan Architecture announced plans for an incredible array of oceanic wind farms that may one day produce as much energy as the Persian Gulf. Dubbed Zeekracht (sea power), the masterplan comprises a massive ring of wind farms centered around the Netherlands that spans seven adjacent countries. By calling for such a large network of communal infrastructure and knowledge, the plan takes a giant step towards ensuring European energy independency by 2025.” (Source - Inhabitat)

I think the right choice of vintage movie posters, if tastefully framed, makes an awesome addition to your home decor. Vintage movie posters say a lot about you and your tastes, they can make a witty and kitschy addition to your game room or hallway or living room.

Take this “Super Fly” poster that pays homage to the pimpin’ 70’s! If I saw this in someone’s home it would either exude cool or based on the occupant say “I’m trying to hard too be hip”. Ha! It’s really quite a crap shoot.

In the quest to decorate my home fabulously, I have been thinking of investing in some fine art to adorn my barren walls. Been shopping around for some nice art pieces from fledging artists, I don’t know why they call them “starving artists” because for the price of some of their pieces they should be filthy rich.

Consequently, I have now humbled myself to search for quality prints from major artists. I know I may not have an “original” on my walls but beggars who can barely pay their mortgage shouldn’t be choosers, right?

Here are some lovely finds:
