The beautiful music Ikea inspires



If you've ever had a hard time putting together an item from a certain Swedish company, as I did recently, and then finally had success to some degree but are pretty certain you're going to wake up to a pile of particle board on your bathroom floor someday soon anyway, you'll enjoy this video.

It's pretty fun for everyone else, too.

Changed much?

Only the vunderful and vantastic Lee Ann (no, she doesn't have a funny accent, I just velt like adding the veez) could wake me from my blogging slumber by bringing this incredible project to my attention.



Argentinian photographer Irina Werning is recreating people's childhood photos with pictures of them today in the same or similar outfits, locations, and positions. Whaaaat?! She writes that this effort has made her realize she's a bit obsessive, so I guess it takes as much organization and attention to detail to set up these shots as I imagine they do. Bonkers. Click here to see them all. Thanks, Westover.
