things I love – math and science

It just takes 5 words …  according to the prescriptive recipe for interior style from Room Service.  Simply choose 5 descriptive words that resonate with you.  Let them become themes for the furnishings and accessories your select.

The first two in my list were romance and seashore.  The third is math & science.

Geeky?

umm, maybe so.  That’s so who we are.   I only wish I had more furnishings that celebrate the beauty of science and mathematics.  But let’s begin here — with this wonderful surveyor’s tool in the study.

or the vintage yardsticks in the crafting room.

Then there’s the artful abacus pair in the front hallway

and this totally awesome clock that makes me wish I had studied more….

Other kinds of technical items that tug at my heart include satellite imagery, technical blueprints and math, drafting and measurement tools. 

So these are the kind of interior images that capture my imagination and give me an inspiration boost — they’re uncommon to be sure, but contain so many layers of beauty.

First, an astronomy map as a focal point —
