Well, I’m back – about 5 lbs heavier, slightly sunburned and a LOT more relaxed. I have so many things to be happy about. I’ve now forgotten about my 2 plane delays – the most recent getting me home at 5:30 a.m. this morning – because it’s Christmas eve! And, I was delighted and totally flattered to find out that Desire to Inspire had ready.2.spark listed as one of their fab blogs from around the world. If you haven’t had an opportunity to stop by this blog…well, you must. It provides such wonderful design inspiration!

I would venture to say that if I had a David Wiseman original on my ceiling I would spend a lot more time looking up. David raises the question: why wouldn’t we put as much thought and detail in our ceilings as we do to our floors, walls and interiors?

One of monthly ‘fixes’ is heading to my local 7-11 to pick up Fast Company. Brimming with relevant and stimulating articles, interviews and case studies, it is the monthly Bible for the right-brained business leader. This month’s issue (Dec ’07/Jan ’08) is no exception.

Here are a few highlights…

Putting some style in Tile

Tarkette, the world’s largest resilient flooring manufacturer asked industrial designer Karim Rashid (another one of my favorites) to create a new range of tile colors.

You have to check these out. In true Karim Rashid-style, the notion of ‘floor tiles’ have been deconstructed and remolded into amazing shapes and colors. Long gone are boring beige blocks – look out for lime green, powder blue and fuscia…oh my!

Got blog?
Then be sure to read “The Big Tease”. An article about the evolution of the blog.

Concept to completion
How P&G identified a market opportunity, developed a concept and brought it to fruition. A fantastic snapshot of the strategic, design and production processes. And totally applicable to any event organization.

Company of Friends
I was also pleased to see that Fast Company has created their own social/business networking tool on their website called Company of Friends. In it, you can connect with other business professionals, share ideas and create groups. There’s a group for Event Management professionals. Once I’m back from vacation, I’ll be signing up!

Now back to my magazine.

I’m in love with these beautiful objets d’art by Ferry Staverman. From organic tree forms to delicate finials, his sculptures are Divine.
