POP!

Have you seen this yet?!  What a great idea!


Great idea for party favors.  I can see this at a wedding reception instead of tossing rice or blowing bubbles?!

Fire Escape!

I saw this and fell in love.






The first apartment Mr. S and I lived in was on 25th Street and 3rd Avenue in Manhattan.  It was a fifth floor walkup.  The only "outdoor" space we had (which is a luxury in NYC) was a little fire escape just like this shelf.  Ahhhhhh memories.  I don't miss the fire escape and 5th floor walkup living but I DO love this planter shelf.

Yours at Uncommon Goods for $100.  New York memories not included.

Inside Out Canvas Frames

While I was in Anthropologie recently, I fell in love with their backwards canvas displays.  They have taken a standard 5x7 or 8x11 canvas, turned it back facing out (so that you can see the wood frame and the canvas stapled to it) and placed a picture inside of it.  Then they have nailed groupings together and hung as art.

Genius.  And inexpensive.  So of COURSE I wanted to try it here at home.

 

First I attached all of my frames back facing front together in an appealing, random grouping.  It took more nails than I would have expected to keep it together and sturdy.

 

Next I glued in a bunch of our favorite black and white shots.

And finally, I put up a few groupings interspersed with other favorite collages.  I get compliments on it whenever someone new stops by. 

 

 

The Most Amaaaaaaazing Rugs!

I came across the most amazing rug today on the interwebuales (I know, I sort of made that word up...):

Right?!?!?! Totally blows my mind. I love it SO much.

But then, the same artist (Sonya Winner) also did this one:

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! I think I love them both equally...though they are completely different, no?

Genius work by this artist.

I've Got the Whole World...On My Wall

I am a recent convert to the greatness of vinyl wall art. I know, I know - I'm totally behind the times on that one. Whatever :)

But now that I have discovered and fallen in LOVE with it I find it everywhere! Like this great Slate World Map Wall Decal - isn't it awesome?


I would love this look in a playroom or a kitchen...what do you think? I also really like this skyline of Paris:


I love the treatment here, hovering over the floor. I also think it would look a little unexpected over a chair rail. Thoughts on that? Isn't the graphic beautiful? Makes me want to up and go to Paris for a little shopping jaunt...oui oui!

A Book for your Macbook...

Be still my heart...this Macbook case is such a thing of beauty I can hardly stand it.

It looks like an old leather bound book right? But you would be wrong. Because inside...


it holds your Macbook Air... Just gorgeous, and what a genius design. Sigh...swoon...

Temperature Sensitive Tiles

This is one of the coolest, craziest products for the bathroom I've seen yet. Temperature sensitive tiles.

I. Want. These.

Again, elevating the everyday and sometimes mundane to otherworldly and brilliant.

Fill it with Fabric

I recently came across these fabric filled potholes and sidewalk cracks and immediately SWOONED. I mean, come ON. How brilliantly beautiful is this?


So cool...

The Perfect Bookmark

It really is the perfect bookmark. I want one. And it doesn't look complicated to make, no?
