geometric at home

geo-inspiration

top / middle / bottom

This past weekend, I received an e-mail from roche bobois letting me know that sweet reader Monica had suggested this coffee table might be right up my alley, and Monica, you are absolutely right!

I thought it’d be fun to round up a couple more geometric items for the home, I’m thinking that planter must be mine and soon. Also, I’ve never really perused Land of Nod before but there are some cute things there that even the childless can enjoy. Good to know.

Thanks Monica for thinking of me, someday, that coffee table will be mine! xo

I don’t like this: a series

illustrations by caitlyn murphy as part of her I don’t like this series

Like most people, there is nothing I appreciate more than a good sense of humor, so I was delighted to come across this awesome series of illustrations, I don’t like this by Caitlyn Murphy. I was especially drawn to the 3 illustrations above as they are things that I also dislike. I’m sorry turtlenecks, but I’ll pass.

I am obsessed with this interface design created by Emily Tu for the Robert Burns Museum in Scotland. I am really taken by those illustrations, so freakin’ cute!

adieu – potato printing

Nothing like seeing pictures of gorgeous prints made by potatoes (yes, potatoes!) to make me feel like I’m not using my free time wisely. This is the kind of stuff I’d love to be working on when I’m not in front of a screen.

These pretty garlands and florals from the lovely fleurlux are the sort of decor I’d love to have all over my house if I could. How pretty would one of these be above your bed or your dresser.

2012 was the year of the knit and in 2013 I hope to continue my unofficial textiles studies starting with drooling over these furry beauties. How much do you wanna bury your face or bare feet in these?

Raise your hand if you procrastinated and are doing some last-minute shopping today of all days? *Sheepishly raises both hands* Yep, I’m one of those facing the crazy crowds today, wish me luck.

On a brighter note, how cute are those clocks and that space! I’d like to imagine that if I had those clocks I’d never be late and I’d never procrastinate, but let’s face it, beautiful clocks may only distract me further.

If you celebrate, happy holidays friends, if not, hooray for the day(s) off! xo

While we are on the subject, Santa, if you do in fact read my blog, I wouldn’t mind these babies under my tree as well. Got it? Good.

I think I’m a little late at posting about this clothing rack as it was apparently all the rage awhile back but I can’t resist posting about it as it represents exactly what I’ve been looking for. Yep, still on the hunt for a clothing rack, my husband started building me one but, work has just gotten in the way and the poor dear has barely had time to lay eyes on his garage.

A clothing rack like this would suit my needs perfectly, simple, unobtrusive and just the perfect size. Sigh. Santa, if you’re listening, if I found this under my tree on Tuesday, I’d be one happy, happy gal.

reverie // sergio guijarro

reverieDo you guys remember the amazing work of the talented Sergio Guijarro that I posted about awhile back? Well, Sergio e-mailed me recently about his new project and I was floored. I swear, it feels like his work was created just for me, I suppose that is the sign of a great artist.
