Diane Keaton for Chico's

I am a big fan of Diane Keaton (quirky yes, but I like that about her).  She's a great actress and is so full of life with her own sense of style.  She knows what suits her.  At the age of 65 she has become a spokesperson for Chico's - a fashion outlet for mature woman.  I don't know - looking at the images of Diane I'd say she doesn't look anything like my vision of an older mature woman.  I think we need to revamp that word anyway and Diane is really giving it her all. Once again, I like that about her.

Inspiration

Sitting out on the front porch watching the neighbours go by…

Canadian House & Home

This is the inspiration photo for my front porch.  We have a bit of a wind tunnel effect here and things tend to fly off during storms so it’s always a bit of a race to get things into the house before a storm hits.  I'd need something heavy enough, but I like this peaceful look.

Actually this front porch is from the 2010 Princess Margaret Hospital Showhome located in Oakville, Ontario.  This is a wonderful lottery that benefits the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, Canada’s leading cancer research hospital. 

The 2010 showhome drew inspiration from the Something’s Gotta Give movie house of Diane Keaton’s character.
