How to fold a fitted sheet
I don't know about you, but I think folding a fitted sheet is a bit challenging. I know I am not the only one that thinks so, since someone once told me that Oprah had this very thing covered on one of her shows. Sure we can all fold a fitted sheet, but can we fold it neatly?..
Take a look what I found:

5 steps instructions along with a diagram oh how to fold a fitted sheet. :)
1. Hold sheet vertically, one corner in each hand.
2. Fold in half by bringing corners together with rounded, elasticized seam on the inside.
3. Repeat from the opposite direction (bottom to top), so all four corners are joined and sheet is quartered.
4. Lay flat and fold into thirds: Start by moving the rounded-edges side into the middle, then layering the other side on top.
5. Flip over and pile with matching flat sheet and cases.

Miami Rooftop Garden
Having a well designed outdoor space allows you to fully enjoy and take advantage of the beautiful summer season. Everyone of us prefers different aspects of the outdoor garden, weather it is a pool, outdoor grill, or just an area to lounge and read a great book while sipping on a yummy cocktail. Some love all the parts and include them in their outdoor space.
Raymond Jungles designed a wonderful modern rooftop outdoor garden and leisure space which overlooks a beautiful Miami cityscape and is complete with all of the above.
This outdoor space is Luxurious yet earthy and intimate. It includes lounging area, dining area, swimming pool, kitchen and lots of luscious greenery.
What do you love about your outdoor space? Or What would you love to have designed for your outdoor area that would add to your summer pleasures?

Dog Blueprints
I am an absolute huge animal lover and anti-cruelty advocate. I love all animals and if I could I would save all of the ones that were neglected, buy a farm and and take care of them, while enjoying their unconditional love and innocence. :)
I have two Staffordshire Terriers myself ( Pit Bulls) that are super energetic and a huge part of our life. It's no surprise that many people adore their pets and not only take photos of them ( which they frame and display) but even commission their paintings.
Here is a different twist of dog art -Dog Blue prints. I love it for the different approach, but of course also because it pertains to another large part of my life (interior design, architecture, drawings/blue prints.. you get the point) Well, it's no surprise that I was super excited when I found this unique art form that depicts my dog's breed -which I can showcase and embrace in my home.
There are also many different dog breeds that are part of this collection. You can find them here.
