ALL in ONE,One for all.
All in One
A newish concept in living.Upmarket everything under one roof for a small Community.
An apartment, Gym,swimming pool, Communal roof garden and Garden.A small bubble so that you dont have to leave the home during lockdown and have friends and neighbors close at hand for a social life.
Lets play with words,using:
ALL and ONE in images,original ideas,gifs movie trailers an music.
In very small kitchens or really small housing, all in one would not really suit me but,if the home travels.
(Every inch of space has to be utilized in small space living).
Then waking up in a new place every day is a great idea,Trailers,caravans,houseboats,can be a good way to live.
The Three Musketeers stood for All for One,one for all concept
I thought all in one pjs a good idea to keep warm until I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night,and had to disrobe.Brhhhh.Freezing.looks comfy...but....
So using the words ALL and One please,follow the them or creative.
Remember: no politics or religious comments please.respect other commemters.

Anonymous becomes synonymous
Anonymous becomes synonymous.
Lets take these objects:
A bowler hat,a bird,acloud in the sky an apple.
Bowler hats were the symbol of the middle classes.
They were made famous by Charlie Chaplin,Rene Magritte,James Bond.
Magritte encompassed them all in his quiet surrealistic paintings.
It’s raining men became fun with the song by The Weather Girls.
An Apple became the logo of the Apple computer.
We have now reached the anonymous mask as daily attire.
We all love birds,butterflies and blue skies which we all love.
Magritte 1899 to 1967.
So lets post memes,gifs songs encompassing Rene Magritte symbols,videos and music.
***Remember this discussion is not political or religious,please respect, other commenters too.
This is a break
from the more serious dialogues of today.
Enjoy and Welcome.

Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is.
Kitsch/ kitch/Kitchen.
Kitsch/ Kitch means trashy...Kitchen is from the Germanic root,meaning to cook.
Whats your style?Pristine,clean cut all white,love it,but as my friends congregate in the kitchen I wanted the room to reflect my mosaics and tiling,a friendly interesting place to sit.
I love the unusual,with spashes of bright color.
So the theme is...Interesting rooms/ kitchens.Rooms you would like!
Please respect this is not the place for religious or political comments.
Its a place for friends to enjoy,to post music,pictures,memes,gifs,trailers.
Most of all enjoy.welcome.
