Love this Rug…
February 16, 2012
I adore this serape rug from Urban Outfitters. It’s only $39, and, oh, so cute against the white-washed floors.
Falling for this Fabric….
January 23, 2012
This fabric from Pearson instantly caught my attention while flipping through this month’s Luxe magazine. I’m obsessed.
The script in printed on linen. It totally reminds me of some of the antique ephemera I use in my art…
“Hand blocked in India on 60 foot long tables this fabric is truly special and due to table size can only come in 20 yd pieces. All print is hand applied in wonderful neutral tones. Look closely and notice phrases, signatures and dates in both English and French.”
I’d love to upholster a set of simple wood-framed dining chairs with this fabric….or a headboard. Love.
Love this Light….

LA DEMI GRANDE VOLIERE PENDANT SHADE
We just popped this adorable fixture into a client’s proposal. It’s for their daughter’s room, and it’s so fricken’ cute. I totally want one of my own. “From the Parisian atelier of Mathieu Challières comes the whimsical Volière collection of feathered menagerie lighting. Each piece is made by hand from strong copper wiring and decorative birds with real feathers. ” Good news! These pendants are on sale right now at the Conran Shop.
FYI-Matteo Sample Sale

Matteo Home is the best. In the past, duvet covers that retail for $500+ go for $50 at their sample sales. This is some fine bedding, ladies and gentleman. I’ll see you there.

faux bois wallpaper from nobilis in 15 colorways
(check out their rad interactive website while you’re at it)
I actually started silk-screening my own edgy designs on large floral fabric samples years ago.
I never got around to actually having the pillows made—if I had the time to bring my prints to an upholsterer, they might have ended up looking something like Kevin Corn’s silk-screened pillows above. I love the rodeo one.
Totally Digging Tulu Textiles
March 28, 2011
Recently, we’ve been spending a lot of time shopping for fabrics at Michael Smith’s new Jasper showroom on Melrose. The showroom carries one of my favorites-Tulu. I’m currently obsessed with their whimsical patterns and groovy color combos. Happiness. Bright colors are totally in.
Quick….Get Super Creative Before March 11th.
March 7, 2011
Okay…so I was totally going to keep this one to myself. My friend Josh told me about this awesome online swap meet through Blu Dot, and it’s so cool that I have to spread the word.
“Are you a fan of modern furniture but not so much a fan of money? At the Blu Dot Swap Meet, you can trade your amazing talents or odd collections into your very own piece of Blu Dot.
No cash? Who cares! Here’s how it works:
- Pick out any Blu Dot item you want. Come up with an interesting offer (collections, creations, talents, taxidermy, etc.) and upload it to this site between February 28 – March 11, 2011. (If you submit a video, keep it under five minutes.)
- Check this site throughout the period to see the status of your bid. Blu Dot may like it enough to swap, or may want you to up the ante.
- If your bid becomes a successful swap, you will be additionally notified via email.
PLEASE NOTE: Sorry- no minors allowed. One bid per piece of Blu Dot furniture. Blu Dot will not accept human babies, “self love” videos, and/or mean/inappropriate things. In other words, be creative but don’t be stupid. See the full terms here.“
SO RAD! RIGHT?
Everyone can vote on their favorites, but ultimately, Blu Dot will select the ideas/products they feel worthy of a swap. Some of the things they’ve accepted so far: feeding homeless animals for a bed, throwing an epic College Kegger for a chair, appearing as a life-size worm in 25 documented places for a sofa-sleeper, a spork collection for a chair, photos of a hundred sleds for a bench, sound machines that makes weather noises for a sectional, fencing lessons for a table, and Texas-style bbq for 60 people for a sofa….So many fun ideas:
Get crackin’ creative people..Friday is the deadline!
And now for a contest…

Enter the Inhabitat competition here
From one of my favorite design blogs, Inhabitat:
“Every day, over 3,000 tons of paper towel waste is produced in the United States
alone and in the production of one ton of paper towels, 17 whole trees are cut down and 20,000 gallons of water are consumed, contributing to deforestation, water pollution and global warming. It’s clear that something needs to be done, which is why we’re teaming up with PeopleTowels to launch a design competition challenging YOU to design the next Inhabitat + PeopleTowels reusable cloth hand towel to help cut paper towel waste. The grand prize winner will receive $500, a chance to get their design into market and a 10% royalty on all towel sales. The winning design will also be published on Inhabitat.com for the world to see – so what are you waiting for? Get your designing caps on and get in it to win it!”
