In my quest to post the amazing and the unique, I find that more often than not, I’m drawn to the more mundane things in life. Hence the appeal of Ellen and Julia Lupton’s new book, Design Your Life: the pleasures and perils of everyday life. The book is a series of essays that grew out of posts the two sisters [twins] have written over the years on their blog with the same name. The essays which range from the importance of toasters, the way Christmas is [over]celebrated, to the role of blogs, all creatively and critically look at the everyday things in the world around us.
