Each day I try my best to take a few minutes to have a peaceful moment somewhere away from the daily grind.

I discovered these amazing lawn installations in a park in the Netherlands. It really makes me wish Vancouver had unique things like this.

The playful chairs are designed by Lisette Spee in a collaboration with Tim Van Den Burg the seats are part of a series of lounge chairs made for public spaces in Valkenberg Park in Breda, Netherlands.

This is near Yaletown. Why can’t it be filled with benches and tables for all the people that work in Yaletown to gather and eat lunch.

The grass really is greener on the other side.
