2012-04-16T10:56:00.000-04:00

This identity design for STRATA BAKERY, has it all. I'm in love with the awesome color combination of bright orange & mint green along with the modern & simplistic approach to the design. GAH. Check out the BRAINS behind this branding as well as other great pieces.

HOME INSPIRE: LEIF

2012-04-11T19:29:00.001-04:00

My new favorite shop, LEIF! Founded by Stacy Ann Longenecker of Brooklyn, NY, this site is full of unique and beautiful things for day-to-day living. It's a great place to visit if you are looking for a unique gift for a close friend or loved one. Above, I have assembled a few of my favorites, although, it was really hard to choose. Her BLOG is super cool too!

MADDIE ON THINGS

2012-04-09T20:24:00.000-04:00

So, if you know me in real life, then you would know that I am a huge dog lover. I pine over cute dogs every time I stroll through the park and MADDIE THE COONHOUND is the perfect read for me! I smile every time I view it and maybe you will too!

THE REAL COOKBOOK

2012-04-04T08:15:00.000-04:00

This is the first and only COOKBOOK that you can read, cook, and then EAT! Packaged as a classic lasagna recipe, the pasta "book" can be opened, filled with ingredients, and then cooked. It looks so gooood too!

MY MOODBOARD

2012-03-26T09:09:00.000-04:00

I was recently inspired by THESE awesome moodboards, so I thought that I would gather pretty images from my PINTEREST and create my own! The theme is spring and the initial image was the French poster which inspired the rest of the images & colors. It was really fun to make - stay tuned for more!

THE WALLBANGER

2012-03-21T19:11:00.000-04:00

Check this out! The Wallbanger wall-mounted bar by Urbancase mounts to your wall and can be used as a bar or serving surface. It contains ample room for a selection of liquor, storage for glasses, and bar-tending utensils. And fun fact: The Wallbanger is made from recycled milk jugs, 256 to be exact!

A COLLECTION – SWIMFAN

2012-03-15T14:13:00.003-04:00

I have been gathering this collection for a while and since the weather has been working up to getting warmer in the Boston area, here's to summer! I can't wait - there will be a lot of grass lounging, pool visiting, roof-top baking, and hopefully a bit of hiking! Who's with me??

PRINT INSPIRE – LANDLAND

2012-03-08T12:47:00.000-05:00

Whoa! These awesome prints are designed by LANDLAND, a small design studio based in Minneapolis. The three-person team mainly focuses on record sleeves, posters and art prints. I truly had a hard time picking my favorites, you gotta just check out their PORTFOLIO to see it all.

ODE TO PORTLANDIA

2012-02-29T09:50:00.000-05:00

Great poster design done by VAHALLA STUDIOS for season two of PORTLANDIA. This witty & quirky show features a comedy collaboration between Fred Armisen (SNL) & Carrie Brownstein (Wild Flag, Sleater-Kinney). The show has a variety of well-known guests in each episode, such as Sarah McLachlan and Eddie Vedder. It's one of my current favorites and you can catch the first season streaming on Netflix!

INDUSTRIAL LIGHTS

2012-02-27T08:22:00.001-05:00

A mix and match of beautifully designed lamps. The simple and industrial look of them all is just so appealing.

TERRANIUMS

2012-02-24T09:48:00.001-05:00

Terrariums are so in right now! No but really, I'm hopping on that bandwagon and saying that I'm totally smitten with GEORGE MELLOR A.K.A SISTER ARROW'S terrarium illustrations. You can buy the designer's work HERE. Her inspirations include nature, metaphysics, sci-fi, primitive life, caves and Japan.

WINTRY DAYS

2012-02-13T12:59:00.000-05:00

Another outdoorsy post, I'm really on a roll here! The Boston area has been unseasonably warm and vacant of snow for this time of year (which I'm kinda bummed about) and since my hometown in Arkansas just got a wintery storm last night - I am feeling the need to create some snow of my own! Enjoy.

PHOTO INSPIRE: SIMEN JOHAN

2012-02-11T19:24:00.000-05:00

SIMEN JOHAN'S ongoing project Until the Kingdom Comes depicts an unsettled natural world balancing between reality, fantasy, and nightmare. His use of digital photographic techniques portrays a mix between paradise and something darker. I'm intrigued...

2012-02-02T09:34:00.000-05:00

I'm digging designer, Melissa Coker's low-key sophistication and psychedelic prints for the Spring '12 collection for WREN. The laid-back, slouchy style is very appealing.
