Dave asked me a question about the story line, and as I fumbled to conceal the fact I didn’t have a clue he asked, “are you even watching the movie?”
Technically, I’m watching, but more and more the focus of my attention is not with the story line.
These eyes are zeroed in on the real star of the show.

Is this not a stunning example of coastal chic on steroids?
It is amazing how fast my eyes can style spot at least eight points of interior interest in this image.
Equally amazing is how fast the featured interior design, furnishings and accessories draw me in.
I’m no code cracker, but I think that is exactly the point.
