It’s spring and time to organize and purge. It might also be time to get some new storage. Not sure these will still be available but if not, something fun will be!
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 had to go to the dentist this week. What a pain! But they have the best assortment of magazines in the waiting area… and I came across these fabulous chairs… they come in so many wonderful colors! The Prince Charles Side Chair. I think I need a few!
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.
Anthropologie has become a household word… but we still look to them for trend setting fashion and furnishing priced for the masses. At least the design-conscious masses… with a few extra bucks in their pockets! Or stylish wallets! They set the trends. They make us drool. We want it and we want it now. I fortunately cannot purchase everything I see and love. Like these hand made cups… just out of my price range, but I might just sign up for a clay class and make my own…
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!
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!
Oh how we love the look of stripes for the season. A little nautical and preppy, but with a hint of punk. Super fresh. Katie is dieing for the dress from Urban Outfitters and I am dieing for the espadrilles… from Forever 21. Stripes!!!
