| 'Vampire Diaries': Ian Somerhalder Talks Season 3 Finale Scenes (Video)
www.hollywoodreporter.com » Fresh off the official news that The Vampire Diaries is sticking around for another season, series star Ian Somerhalder visited the THR Cover Lounge to chat about next week’s finale. What is known of the season three closer is this: flashbacks highlight Matt and Elena’s imperfect relationship, Mystic Falls in simpler times and the accident that killed Elena’s parents. “It’s a small little runner that goes throughout the episode as Elena is looking back at a part of her life when things were more simple, at least from a supernatural level,” executive producer Julie Plec said in April. With Elena’s decision about what her future might look like (with Damon, with Stefan or with neither) looming, what was the final scene Somerhalder shot?

| Adding Monsters to Thrift Store Paintings Twisted Sifter | Apartment Therapy
www.apartmenttherapy.com » Thrift store paintings are pretty predictable — religious icons, weird clowns, and lots of very boring landscapes. Not many of us would think to include them in our home decor, unless we found a particularly rare gem or were going for a kitschy tongue-in-cheek theme. But we feature projects of upcycled and hacked thrift store finds all the time. Why not embellish a painting? And if you are going to go through the effort, you might as well make it worthwhile, and not bother adding a tree or quaint woodland cottage. Add a monster. A big one.

www.fastcodesign.com » I remember a simpler time. A time when a trip to Costco was a frolic, the only challenge was filling the minivan with microwavable hors d’oeuvres without removing the baby seat. After the outbreak, everything changed. I saw a man murdered for the last box of mini quiches, a soggy thing soaked in its own condensation. While I’d like to consider myself a better man, I hid underneath a set of 50%-off patio furniture during the whole scene, clutching an oversized three-pack of Heinz close to my chest. Was the red on my flannel his blood, my blood, or a just bottle I squeezed too hard?
