Your favorite collectibles shouldn’t just sit on a dusty shelf or in a forgotten box. They’re a reflection of your passions, memories, and the thrill of finding something special. When you create a “calm corner” for your collection, it stops being just storage and becomes your own personal sanctuary. Here, you can relax, think, and truly appreciate your treasures.

This space isn’t just for showing things off; it’s a way to practice mindfulness and escape the daily grind. Building a spot for quiet contemplation right in your home is a wonderful way to use designing a calm corner.

It seems there’s always something new to discover in and around Freeman Alley, the Lower East Side’s ever-changing street art mecca. On the day after the Fourth of July, with the summer heat still hanging over the city, I spotted this oversized Pink Buddha mural on Rivington Street, just a few steps from the alley itself. Despite looking carefully, I couldn’t find an artist’s tag, so perhaps one of my readers can chime in.

Shark Attack Billboard!

Sometimes, a single Los Angeles street corner can tell several stories at once. When I snapped this photo in December 2025, the giant billboard overhead was promoting Jaws: The Exhibition at the nearby Academy Museum of Motion Pictures (just outside the frame to the right). The blockbuster exhibition celebrated the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s legendary thriller and ran for more than six months before closing at the end of July. If you missed it, you’ll have to wait and hope it resurfaces somewhere else.
