The sunny side of law

Wow. Just wow. I saw this design plan for a DLA Piper office in the Netherlands and immediately thought, no, no way, this can't be the same law firm that I know. After some research it is confirmed- the coolest law firm ever exists in the Netherlands. The DLA office in Chicago is impressive, have no doubt, but impressive in that it has an endless supply of mahogany, law books with green and gold spines, and file cabinets. How wonderful would it be to be a lawyer where beauty is appreciated.

"The DLA Piper office is a rainbow-colored space designed to play off the changes in the sunlight throughout a typical day of work. The side of the building that gets the most sunlight is balanced with cooler tones, while the side that receives the least is compensated with warm tones." {Design Crush}

Happy birthday to me

Birthdays are for...

Reminding you that you're so loved

Reminding you how much you love your parents and family

Reconnecting with old friends

Feeling okay about eating as much cake as you want. And french fries and chip dip

Reflecting on the accomplishments of the past year

Realizing how incredibly different life was one year ago and being excited to see what the future holds for the next year

Starting to consider not ignoring ads and coupons for anti-aging products

Feeling so lucky...
