PANTRY

This is Olivia, and she comes to the pantry every day at 5:00 for her dinner stored in the green containers. Her home owner lives in Napa, Silverado Country Club.


A Chinese Doctor's Herb Pantry.


In the interest to clarify some words that deal with my special organizational cabinetry I have another new word to define.

PANTRY:
Is a small room or closet in which food, dishes, and utensils are kept.
Based on late Latin panarius ‘bread seller,’ from Latin panis ‘bread.’

OAKLAND ARCHITECTURE

A bit of many influences in this architectural relief designs. Based on Roman Ionic with Corinthian leaves, and Radiation Center Flower but basically the details are entirely novel in conception of combination. Beautiful it is own right highlighting our world's influence in local buildings to enjoy by all of us walking by. I was on my way to a lecture at the AIA regional office, that is an Architectural lecture at their offices. These I viewed from the third floor parking lot in the City of Oakland

MAGIC OF COLOR

Wall Shelving Before Color
Wall Shelving After Color; on wall and backing

I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the power and beauty of color. Without color, our world would be a boring place. Colors are interesting, emotional, and thought provoking they affect us on many levels. The psychological effects of color are endless; gray can give us a feeling of depression, blue can be soothing, red can increase our blood pressure and pulse rate or make us think of love and passion, yellow can give us a sense of warmth from a natural light source or think of sunlight, green can give us a feeling of growth, nature, or production, violet can make us think of deep inner emotion, and orange - just looking at the color orange can create a chemical reaction in our brains and actually increase the oxygen in our bloodstreams and promotes creativity.

The wall system above was designed with out color, note the difference when color was added to enrich the mood of a living room.
