garden walls

Recently, I visited Pigment a wonderful shop located in North Park, San Diego.They custom design and install these incredible wall gardens. Obviously they are perfect for the city and small spaces, but honestly I’d love to have the whole side of my house done like this… my girlfriend suggested getting one for the bathroom. The store is also filled with great gift giving ideas. Lovely!

I often discover wonderful things in the middle of doing research for a big project. I was looking for some inspiration for a new Hummus project when I came across this wonderful painter/illustrator. I contacted Anna to see if she’d mind having us show a few of our favorites… she takes commissions and the beautiful paintings are quite reasonable. I am already planning what I’d love her to paint for me. Illustrated paintings by Anna Kipervaser inspired by her travels to the middle east.

Rich, vibrant, color!

Sprucing up your kitchen? Need new furnishings for patio parties? What about festive dinner wear or just some new tea towels? Crate & Barrel should be your first stop! Their new line is fun, festive and full of glorious color!!! I had to get a few little pieces myself… I just couldn’t resist!


Olaf-Hajek-Book.jpg
Beauty. Flowers. Spring.

I admit that I am in a very romantic phase and therefore attracted to a certain kind of beauty. When I saw this book, I immediately put it on my wish list. Olaf Hajek, an international known illustrator, from Berlin has a new book out. It’s filled with dream-like paintings/illustrations which again blur the distinction between art/craft/design. Check out his web site and be inspired!

second stop: milano

10 Corso Como is an amazing store, well actually it’s a collection of stores that are all equally fabulous! A combined experience of art, design, beauty, and fashion. You could spend hours on this site, wondering through all the goodies. Oh my! Forget the site, I am booking my flights now!

hollyhock

“Suzanne opened Hollyhock to sell all the things she loved for the home, but couldn’t easily find in Los Angeles.  That was over 20 years ago and since its opening Hollyhock has been an exclusive resource for designers and discerning shoppers.” Hmmm… this shop is in driving distance.
