Eco Artichoke Light

2012-01-26T14:12:00.000-08:00

I love this eco spin on the iconic artichoke light by etsy store Zipper8Lighting. Made from pages of old books.

Log Bowls

2012-01-25T00:54:00.000-08:00

Talk about eco eye candy! These bowls are handmade by Loyal Loot from reclaimed wood - trees that have fallen or cut down due to infrastructure, re-landscaping, etc. I can see a cluster of these luscious colors on my dining table or mantle!

Beautiful Wednesday No.2/2012: Literacy Cards

2012-01-25T00:12:00.000-08:00

Love these cards by Mateo Ilasco. Reminds me a little bit of Miró.

Year of the Dragon

2012-01-18T01:21:00.000-08:00

Another powerful creature for the up-coming new year (1/23)! I always have guilty pleasure in reading the predictions (don't you?). Only the positive one that is. And...of course a great design piece to go with the auspicious day - Swatch, Year of the Dragon in porcelain blue and great packaging. {via Stuff Fly People Like}

Rockin' Boulangerie

2012-01-12T16:20:00.000-08:00

A bakery is always a sweet place to hang out but this Italian Vyta Boulangerie is definitely a feast in so many ways! Amazing design + baked goods = divineness! {via thecoolhunter}

Lovable Creatures Stationery

2012-01-11T14:18:00.000-08:00

Love these drawings by Laura Morrish of Le Canot Rouge! Each of the animals have a unique, quirky story and all reside in her native Algonquin Park of Ontario, Canada. They are available in several size greeting cards.

Sketchbooks

2012-01-07T22:23:00.000-08:00

Such beautiful, simplified complex patterns on blind impression cotton. Lettersketch books remind me of a modern contemporary take on old world travel journals.

Cocoa and Gold

2012-01-05T05:37:00.000-08:00

Although it has been quite warm this week in LA, there is still some room for wintery cozy and sparkle tones. {LA Eyeworks, San Diego Hat Company, Marc Jacob, Sofft}

Masters of Modern Design

Love these handmade posters by Joel Pirella

Kid space

2012-01-04T13:52:00.000-08:00

Today's theme is about small spaces which is universal for most home dwellers. If you can't decorate horizontally, go vertical like this room by Tumidei Italy. Super cool! {via treehuggers}

Unique Wall Storage

2012-01-04T13:20:00.000-08:00

What an amazing functional design for a small space that's absolutely visually stunning! Apartement recto-verso was designed by H20 Architects for an avid comic book collector in Paris. {via Banjar Info}

Apothecary Packaging

2011-12-29T17:16:00.000-08:00

There is something about men's apothecary packaging that I am really drawn to. The classic, bold design with a little vintage humor remind me of the days of well-put together gentlemen. {Vintage, Kings}

X-Plus Table

2011-12-28T14:44:00.000-08:00

Congratulations to Mr. X himself, Xioaxi Shi, the winner of the 2011 Red Dot Design Concept Award for the modular X-Plus tables. I am waiting for the kid-sized ones. {via Yanko Design}

Bamboo take-along

2011-11-08T13:28:00.000-08:00

Camping is an event where one bonds with nature. What can one take along that's eco-friendly and useful. Some fun things I found are the Bamboo Bottle, Bamboo FM/AM radio and Bamboo Solar power light by Lexon.

Fun Clocks

2011-11-05T08:54:00.000-07:00

I've been looking for clocks for several rooms in my home but I can't seem to commit. There are just too many cool ones to choose from. {Karlsson, Norman Copenhagen}

Patterns to go

2011-11-02T23:46:00.000-07:00

This is why I love design so much - functional, beautiful and enjoyable by all. Gelaskins have an amazingly awesome collection of skins for devices + you can always upload your own too.

Healthy and Pretty

2011-11-01T16:42:00.000-07:00

Came across this and totally want to try making it. {via We Heart It}

2011-10-31T02:03:00.000-07:00

Thinking about the holidays and ways to decorate without sacraficing space. At the same time, have a big bold impact. This idea from Sunset Magazine is fantastic where the wall becomes a textural graphic art.
