If glamour and camping equal glamping, that must mean floating while camping can succinctly be described as flamping, right? Who knows, but that's our (really weird) attempt at describing The Shoal Tent by Smith Fly, an inflatable floating raft with a tent topper that allows campers to sleep on the water.
If you scroll by quickly, we can't blame you for thinking there's a gaping, cartoon-style hole in this dining room. Thankfully, it's just an optical illusion.

Boisterous plant prints debuted decades ago, but these lively leaves have endured. They've become a classic way to add eye-catching glamour. Easier to care for than an actual plant, these bold prints add a vibrant, verdant feel to a space. Check out these eight rooms that got playful with plant prints in their design.

LindsaycdavisonSo if you haven't heard my story of leaving my passport on a plane in Orly and it making its way to the bureau of lost objects n Paris, it's a good one.
The building was cool, had a nice little exhibit in it and BONUS it had my passport :)
Here’s a diversion from stories about hurricanes and a certain anniversary happening today. The New Yorker looks into the Bureau of Found Objects. This was unknown to me. Here’s how the article starts:
On the southern edge of Paris, a five-thousand-square-foot basement houses the city’s lost possessions. The Bureau of Found Objects, as it is officially called, is more than two hundred years old, and one of the largest centralized lost and founds in Europe. Any item left behind on the Métro, in a museum, in an airport, or found on the street and dropped, unaddressed, into a mailbox makes its way here, around six or seven hundred items each day. Umbrellas, wallets, purses, and mittens line the shelves, along with less quotidian possessions: a wedding dress with matching shoes, a prosthetic leg, an urn filled with human remains.

Lindsaycdavisonso Serena named her baby girl after the Father....that's...interesting...
Earlier today, tennis champ Serena Williams and her fiancé, Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, announced their baby girl, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. on Instagram with a sweet video. In it, there are moments from Williams' pregnancy, along with photos and clips of the couple with the newborn. We also get a sneak peek of the making of the nursery, and while not much is actually in the room at the time, we believe we've identified the crib the new parents have chosen. So, we decided to decorate a nursery around it, fit for the tiny Grand Slam champion.

As we reported, on Monday evening, the Internet erupted in laughter after Ted Cruz's official Twitter page "liked" a graphic video from an account named @SexuallPosts.
On Wednesday, the Senator spoke to CNN where he once again denies clicking the heart button on some steamy porno!

The politician said:
"We had a staffer who accidentally hit the wrong button. And it was a screw-up... As soon as we found out about it, we pulled it down."
While Cruz has identified the "staffer," he refuses to name the naughty employee.
"I'm not going to out the fella."
Oh, and the 46-year-old wants you to know it DEFINITELY wasn't him!
"It was not me and it's not going to happen again... Look, we have a whole team of people that have access to the account. Part of running a campaign, running an operation, is you have a whole team."

Lately, new designs for the kitchen look more and more like old designs for the kitchen. There's a certain style of British kitchen — vintage-style appliances, Shaker-style cabinets, a bit austere but with very traditional accents — that's becoming very popular. Looking at these kitchens, I am struck by the fact that they look remarkably similar to some of the 1920s kitchens I came across while researching this series about the history of kitchen design. Everything old is new again — and in this case, what's particularly old is particularly new.

It's been 11 years since Will & Grace went off the air. Unless you're as clueless as Jack, you've probably heard that the iconic sitcom is returning to NBC on September 28. Earlier this week, Eric McCormack (who stars as titular character Will Truman) and Sean Hayes (who portrays fabulous friend Jack McFarland) gave TODAY a tour of the show's set. Take a look at what's new and what has stayed the same.
Lindsaycdavisonwhy?
LindsaycdavisonWHAT IS THIS? THIS IS NOT GAUC
Lindsaycdavisonapparently i am craving soup
Lindsaycdavisonnot the most useful gifts, but they make sense.
Let’s talk baby gifts, shall we? I want to be a better gift giver, and slowly but surely I’m learning how to be thanks to my mom friends who are great gift-givers themselves. A few of my close friends come to mind, the ones who always have the most unique, pretty and fun gift ideas. Not necessarily extravagant, per se, just spot-on and thoughtful. After having a second baby, and having a ton of friends and family having babies, gift giving has been on my mind. Here are a few of my favorite gifts for babies and new-moms. Not necessarily must-have products but gifts mom will be happy to receive.
1. Comfy Clothes or Gift Card
This is my #1 gift for a new mom. Because chances are she isn’t about to spend money on clothes when her body is in such a time of transition, but a few new items of clothing do wonders for the self-esteem when you’re in such a strange time with your body and living in sweat pants and t-shirts and workout gear. Gift cards to Old Navy have been a go-to for me because you can get a lot of bang for your buck, as well as cute mom-focused t-shirts from The Be Brand, my new favorite mom-gear shop online.
2. Solly Baby Swaddles
I’ve been given these and gifted these quite a few times in the last couple months. I LOVE how soft and stretchy they are – so much better than the muslin swaddles that everyone gifts. They work as burp cloths, swaddles, blankets, sun shades, etc. They are so super soft and stretchy and something I wouldn’t have splurged on for myself but SO appreciate being gifted.
3. A Box of Bows Subscription
We LOVE A Little Lady Shop hair bows in our house for the girls and they have a cute little “Box of Bows” monthly subscription that you can gift. How fun, right? I love gifting the bow subscription to new girl mommas, especially if its their first girl!
4. Unique Art
I realize that art is really personal, but I think that gifting a print from a place like Minted is so super sweet and thoughtful if you know what baby’s room looks like and mom’s personal style.
5. Baby Play Mat
I love this Polar Bear Baby Play Mat from Land of Nod. I was gifted something similar from Pottery Barn when Ainsley was born. It was totally something I would never have purchased on my own but I love that it’s designed for baby yet looks cute in your home. Win-win, right?
6. The Gift of Time
When you have a new baby, everyone says “If you need anything, let me know!” But that is so open-ended and most people I know are hesitant to reach out and actually take you up on the offer. I would suggest being more specific, gifting a card along with some time slots that work for you to stop by and help. Saying “I have Tuesday mornings from 9-11:30 available and would love to gift two mornings of my time to you to help out around the house.” or “I would love to take your toddler off your hands for three mornings in the next couple months as a gift to you. Monday or Wednesday mornings work for me!” is the kind of specificity that most moms need to take you up on your offer.
7. The Gift of a Clean Home
When Collins was born, my Beautycounter team gifted me a clean house! Okay, they pre-paid the gal who cleans our house for 9 cleaning sessions. What a luxury! A dirty house stresses me out to no end, so having a clean house during a time of transition and chaos was the most wonderful gift I could have been given.
8. Food Gift Cards
People tend to bring meals during the first two or three weeks after baby is born, but really, I found that I needed the meals and help more as baby girl got older and fussier. The first two weeks were total bliss. Collins slept all the time, she was very easygoing and chill, and life was good. And then the third week rolled around and she woke up, got fussier and gassier, and was generally just a bit more difficult for a few weeks. I felt totally overwhelmed and those that brought meals a little later were much appreciated! That said, gift cards would have been equally welcome!

Although you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, you can definitely appreciate its presentation. Along with keeping all of your favorite texts organized (and at arm's length), a well-styled home library can often become an artful centerpiece inside your home; so it pays to come up with thoughtful ideas for book storage. To prove the point, I gathered some cool, contemporary book displays to share for inspiration. From end-of-bed bookcases to wall-mounted picture ledges, here are some stylish ways to show off your personal book collection and make a decorative statement.
LindsaycdavisonI always loved this -
prostitution is legal,but no one can benefit from prostitiution. so..
pimping is illegal. So is a brothel. So, too, is paying a woman for sex. In other words, a man caught paying a woman for sex is breaking French law. If caught red-handed, he maybe arrested and fined, and should it not be the first time he has been apprehended, he may go to jail.""
so basically just the woman can't get in trouble? it's odd.
"
The law on prostitution is ambiguous here in France. A woman can take payment for sex, but no other person is to benefit from it. In other words, pimping is illegal. So is a brothel. So, too, is paying a woman for sex. In other words, a man caught paying a woman for sex is breaking French law. If caught red-handed, he maybe arrested and fined, and should it not be the first time he has been apprehended, he may go to jail.
Just last week when I went to a museum in Paris’s Bois de Boulogne, I saw several prostitutes standing alongside the road that runs through the wood and nearby, behind a tree, was parked a car, a man sitting behind the wheel. When after my visit to the museum I passed the spot again, the car was still there and the man was still sitting behind the wheel. The first time I had passed him, I thought he was a pimp or a potential customer working up the courage to approach one of the prostitutes, but that second time I passed him, was about two hours later, I realised it was a policeman, waiting to swoop should a car drive up.
Recently, the police did swoop. Officers from the section of the vice squad arrested 8 people of both genders, and aged between 23 and 35. They will now be appear at a special court, the JIRS of Paris – Jurisdiction interregionale specialise – which specialises in major organised crime. At the head of this prostitution ring was a 31-year-old.
Here’s how the ring operated: Potential clients booked a prostitute on one of two websites, Amour russe and Charme russe (since shut down, of course). The two sites were based in Israel and on the island of Cyprus. According to the police, daily these two sites had thousands of hits. The ring brought women from Russia and the Ukraine to Paris. They had genuine visas. They stayed in Paris for two months when they flew back to where they had come from. Collected at Paris’s Charles de Gaulle Airport they were taken to one of the ring’s apartments. There were twenty such apartments, all in the capital’s very chic and expensive 7th and 16th arrondissements (districts).

Lindsaycdavisonscroll the the bottom adn the room is really cute. nice bang for your buck fitting 3 kids in there! (and could likely fit 4...)
For far too long we have been promising Seven bunk beds. The problem is, as with so many of our ideas, our concept of “bunk beds” was a bit on the grand side. This meant complicated and time consuming and lots of moving pieces.
You see, we didn’t really mean “bunk beds.” We meant “built in loft bed with a clubhouse and stairs,” which would entail a custom build. It would also mean ripping up the old carpet the house came with and replacing it with a yet-to-be determined flooring choice. Oh and you know — time — between jobs and other house projects and trips and such. No big deal right?
So those bunk bed plans sat for quite some time. Then we had the big disastrous leak of Thanksgiving 2015 happen and that set a lot of “someday” plans into motion. Since we were ripping up all the flooring in the whole house and the bedroom was a disaster anyway from the living room/kitchen contents being heaped into it as construction began, we decided to tackle those bunk beds while we were at it. I mean, what’s one more project when you’re living in an RV and ripping the whole house apart anyway?
Now, normally you would start a post like this off with a before photo, but when you don’t actually plan to start a project and then throw a bunch of junk in that room before beginning, you don’t really have one of those.
I dug through random cell phone photos and found a few to give you an idea of what we started with.
The room looked something like this: two twin beds and a giant bean bag chair that took up pretty much all of the floor space together. There was a small walkway between the beds and the bookshelf and that was about it.
Ok let’s be honest, it usually looked something like this:
Even on a good day, this room had a couple of major problems for our needs.
After our house fell apart, it became this disaster. (The kids thought it was awesome for getting lost in for a little unsanctioned screen time.)
And that’s when one of my hair-brained drawings was born.
The flooring was ripped up, a fresh coat of paint was applied, and the new flooring (we used this Allure Traffic Master flooring and it has been awesome!) was put in place.
Then it was super-deluxe-awesome bunkbed time!
We basically constructed two lofts onto the walls and then built stairs in between… basically.
Full-disclosure: we wrapped this up a little under a year ago now, but we intended (and still intend) to paint the stairs black and that is something that has just evaded me. I find that with every single project we do on this house, there is something that gets left undone for FOREVER. It’s usually relatively small, and I always think I’m going to get to it soon, so I put off taking the “after” photo and before you know it, a year has passed.
With this project I decided to just say “screw it!” and take the pictures with those unpainted stairs. Imagine they are black. They probably maybe will be, someday.
So what did we end up with?
A pretty awesome room for three if I do say so myself.
Somehow, even with adding an extra bed in here (and keeping the gigantic beanbag chair the kids couldn’t part with), we now have way more space.
We kept it bright and airy with colorful accents.
For the girls, we got the Minnen bed from IKEA and we love them! They are super cute and they can be expanded out to 3 different sizes, all the way up to a standard twin. What you see here is the middle sizing.
Each kid has his/her own space and they are really enjoying it. They love sharing a room and while I’m sure we’ll eventually end up with the girls in one room and the boys in another, I could see all four of them possibly piling in here before then. The clubhouse would make the ultimate toddler bed, after all.
Down the road we’ll add some shelving under the stairs and lighting to the clubhouse, but this will do just great for now.
I hope you’ve enjoyed a little glimpse into one of our projects and maybe gotten some ideas for one of your own.
Who knows? If you start yours sometime in the next 5 years or so, you might even finish before us. ;)

Lindsaycdavisonthis is crazy. reminder to never decorate a studio like a virginia historic mansion
Name: Stanley Lewis
Location: Washington, DC
Size: 525 square feet
Years lived in: 2 years, renting
In the center of our nation's capital is Stanley's small studio apartment, steeped in history and style. Born and raised in Virginia, he draws inspiration from historic houses, particularly 18th century American buildings. Stanley's aesthetic is folksy, yet sophisticated. His appreciation for tradition is apparent in his curation of American handcrafts and folk art, as well as in the timeless, modern pieces he selects. Sleek elements from Restoration Hardware, Ralph Lauren, and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams complement the checked fabrics and Shaker furniture.
After many years in the corporate world, a year ago I started working in startup land. By the end of my first day, I had a bunch of suggestions to offer that I thought were no brainers. But, to make it look good, I resolved to just wait until it seemed like I had spent enough time listening (I thought maybe a few days would do it) and then impart my tremendous wisdom.
And then something strange happened: I started to watch how things were done, and almost every one of my recommendations was rendered obsolete. And I was faced with this chilling doubt: What am I going to tell them that will actually help them? It was like jumping from a cruise liner to a pirate ship with my "How to Lower a Life Boat" manual. Kind of useless.
In the end, of course, there are lots of things that we so-called classic marketers can do to be helpful to start ups. But after all is said and done, I think I am getting the better end of this deal. I call it my Startup MBA. And here are the Cliffs Notes:
LindsaycdavisonI LOVE THIS IDEA.
As someone who’s worked in digital advertising for over a decade and is very passionate about cryptocurrency and blockchains, I wanted to share some thoughts on one of the most notable ICO’s to date: Basic Attention Token. Not about how the ICO went which plenty has been written about, but instead about the business model and viability. (Disclosure: I work on ads at Facebook. I hold Ether, which underlies BAT. I have never held any BAT.)
BAT ICO’d (I think that’s a verb by now: it’s like IPO’d but ‘c’ for coin) on June 1 and sold out in 30 seconds. This is a record. They only sold a fraction of their tokens and raised $30 million. It was also founded by the Brendan Eich who invented javascript and 3rd party cookies – technologies that touch billions of people everyday. Legend!
BAT creates a market for online advertising between users, publishers, and advertisers. It values each ad impression a users sees based on how much of the ad was seen and for how long. Also known as: attention. The amount of attention generated determines how much value the advertiser should transfer to the publisher. Users are cut into the deal and receive tokens for allowing ads in their browser aka “providing basic attention”. Note, this does not mean they actually looked at the ads or were in front of their browser at the time.
I agree with this approach (enable choice for users, enable advertisers to pay for outcomes and not proxies) because it’s exactly the same approach we take at Facebook. However, the details are much different.
I love that the Brave / BAT team is being bold and taking combining two of my passions. But I am skeptical about anyone building a new two-sided market of advertisers and publishers at this stage of online advertising, particularly when limited to a user base that has to be acquired one at a time. If they can efficiently integrate their tech in a way to quickly saturate a specific user base, then they’ll be able to use advertiser demand for this method of transaction to spur publisher adoption.

Lindsaycdavison@asd what's teh deal with litecoin?
After entering cryptocurrency via Bitcoin in 2013, I expanded my purview to other coins. Below is my opinion on the fundamentals of some other cryptocurrencies, without regard to price or technical analysis. Disclosure: I hold positions in many of these below. This is not investment advice.
Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum are the big three. They all have multi-billion dollar market caps and lots of liquidity (on a relative basis).
This is the reserve cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the gold standard. It’s not going away. Every exchange denominates exchange rates in BTC but not necessarily in other currencies (some are moving towards ETH). Bitcoin also has the largest ecosystem of buyers, sellers, miners, and developers. The bitcoin network has 65 million PetaFLOPS of computing power (or 65 ZettaFLOPS) at the time of writing. That’s several billion times more powerful than a high powered PC.
But the major weakness of bitcoin as a cryptocurrency is its governance: miners and developers cannot agree on how to innovate and make the network scale. Miners have poured millions into hardware and electricity. Developers poured their equivalent brainpower into bitcoin. It’s pathetic how divided the community has become, resorting to flame wars on Reddit and Twitter. They’ve recently started to compromise on an approach (SegWit + 2MB), which unfortunately isn’t much more than a compromise. We’ll find out on August 1 if it’s real.
Litecoin is my new cryptocurrency of choice since it’s so efficient and well managed. Charlie Lee (former Director of Engineering at Coinbase) left his job to run Litecoin fulltime. Litecoin is doing all the scaling things that bitcoin needs to do, such as Segregated Witness and Lightning Network. These make the network so much more efficient and prevent bloat. The Litecoin network is projected to be able to handle 7x the transaction volume of Bitcoin. But Litecoin doesn’t have nearly the ecosystem that Bitcoin has. It also doesn’t have the bipartisan gridlock. That said, I’ve never “spent” a litecoin on a product or service, but I have spent BTC over the years. What I’m optimistic about is for Litecoin to disrupt Bitcoin by moving at lot faster on new features that scale the network and keep fees low.
Ethereum is less of a transaction system but more of a global distributed computer that’s powered by a cryptocurrency. Smart contracts are run on this unstoppable, decentralized, transparent computer. These smart contracts are like regular legal contracts but the outcomes are decided by code, not by lawyers, judges and juries.
Imagine two people made a bet on how much rain will fall in Seattle tomorrow. They could setup a smart contract to pull from weather.com at midnight to disburse funds to the winner. The smart contract is transparent to anyone. There are no appeals to the outcome. There are a ton of developers building dapps (Decentralized Apps) on top of Ethereum and raising tons of capital in the process. But it’s unclear where the world needs dapps and how they will succeed. Just over a year ago, one of the first dapps (TheDAO) was hacked to the tune of $55 million. I was a victim but luckily had my funds recovered due to the Ethereum hard fork.
According to coinmarketcap.com, there are 785 cryptocurrencies. Their collective market cap is over $100 billion.

Here are some smaller, more obscure coins that I’m interested in.
Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum are not private nor anonymous. They operate in the clear with lots of “explorer” apps like https://blockchain.info and https://etherscan.io. Pseudoanonymous is a better description. No given address or transaction is associated with a person, but once it is, all past and future activity can be associated with that person. Monero is a class of private coins that require additional keys to look at balances and transactions. They are verified and provable to the public just like with every other blockchain. But the coins are considered fungible, meaning there’s no ability to see where they came from. This privacy feature is a very meaningful differentiator.
Lisk is similar Etherum in its desire to power a global decentralized computer, but based on JavaScript instead of Solidity. A key part of the web ecosystem for the past 20+ years, JavaScript is well understood and has a huge community of developers. Compare that to Solidity which is Ethereum’s lingua franca. Lisk is much earlier in its development relative to Ethereum but already showing promise, kind of like Litecoin’s Bitcoin.
I like Dash for the same reasons I like Monero (privacy and fungibility). Dash had some mining challenges early on but their marketing makes up for it and might keep them growing faster than Monero.
This is a meme gone wild. Sometimes is takes the community behind a meme to do something interesting, like sponsoring a NASCAR driver.
There are a ton of new projects built on Ethereum, similar to startups building on AWS. These projects are raising tons of cash by pre-selling their product in the form of a specialized token to consumers, kind of like Kickstarter. They then pay their suppliers with these tokens. I assume the accounting treatment is “pre-paid revenue”.
I recently wrote about one, Basic Attention Token (BAT) given its relationship to the ad industry. So did my friend and former colleague Sriram. BAT is one of the most hyped Initial Coin Offerings on Ethereum, selling out in less than a minute. There’s a lot of fervor over the technicals, which are irrelevant in the long term, but BAT will go nowhere unless they can gather a point of leverage. They are making inroads with a techie publishers but that won’t do much other than prove their technology out. Similar situation with Civic. They need to find leverage points to build a multi-sided market.
Net net, I love watching and writing about tokens but am generally bearish on most of the applications. I think we’ll continue to see a wave of funding and then a crash, with a few survivors. Then we’ll see a second, more robust wave of projects emerge.

Bulleit bourbon has been a big winner for Diageo and a prime example of how a liquor giant can grow a niche brand without sacrificing its craft-like independent spirit. Now the fast-growing brand is on the attack against a competitor that Diageo says is trying to steal some of Bulleit's frontier vibe.
In a lawsuit filed this week in federal court, Diageo alleges the smaller Redemption bourbon brand committed trademark infringement by copying the vintage style of Bulleit's packaging and branding. Diageo stated that similarities included the clear canteen-shaped bottle with rounded shoulders and embossed brand name above the label. The lawsuit also points to branding that referred to Redemption as a "saloon era" and "pre-prohibition" whiskey. Bulleit is marketed as a "frontier whiskey" whose packaging is meant to "evoke the rugged look and feel of the American Frontier," according to the lawsuit.
Redemption was previously sold in cylinder-shaped bottles with a more modern look, according to the suit. Diageo alleges that Redemption was revised to mimic Bulleit after the brand was acquired by Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, a wine and spirits marketers whose brands include Yellow Tail. Deutsch bought Redemption from Bardstown Barrel Selections in 2015.
Lindsaycdavisonquiz: do you know what a "live edge detail" is?
I love modern, minimal kitchens but I also, like a lot people, find myself drawn towards natural elements. So I particularly love the look of live edge details in a modern kitchen, where the lovely, untamed appearance of the wood adds warmth to the space, but also a welcome bit of contrast. Whether it's just one or two shelves or an entire countertop, this can be a great way to bring the outdoors in, and to add a little bit of extra style to your kitchen.
Lindsaycdavisonminus the privacy, how do we feel about the way it looks?
Apple wants into your home, but not in a weird way.
The Home Pod, Apple's Siri-voiced speaker, was unveiled this week, with a premium price tag -- $350 -- and Apple is playing up the privacy of the device. The marketing around Home Pod, which won't kick off in earnest until the fall, will focus heavily on the privacy aspect of Apple's device compared to the Amazon Echo and Google Home, according to people familiar with Apple's strategy.
"They're really focused on privacy," said one person with knowledge of Apple's marketing plans. "There is no bloatware, no tracking, and they're not selling your information. That's completely different from Google Home and Amazon Echo."
Lindsaycdavisoni really wouldn't think any of thi stuff was from target. they've stepped up their home game.
Weather-wise, it may feel like summer practically year-round in some parts of the country (::cough:: South Florida ::cough::), but that carefree summer feeling doesn't really set in (no matter where you are), until at least Memorial Day. Now that we're in unofficial-official summer territory, we're itching to bring some sunshine into our homes via fun and poppy decor. And because Target knows how to hit a home run when it comes to seasonal designs, we've rounded up our fave 18 summer-ready products from the retailer. Ready, set, summer.
