The April issue of Domino

These are just a few finds this afternoon that I really love!! I have been meaning to bring my design journal in and add some pics to the blog but I need to organize organize organize...so maybe one of these days I will remember to grab it! so I can add the pictures. Anyway enough about that!! If you have not checked out the April issue of Domino you are missing out!!! The pic above immediately caught my attention (among other things--Drew Barrymore's office). I heart the paint color!! I love vibrant rooms like this, especially in places like the laundry room or kitchen--it lends that extra push to start the dishes or do an extra load of laundry!!

Crazy Over Chair Couture!!!!



What else is there to say other than I LOVE Chair Couture!! For me this furniture is soo inspirational. A different fabric is created for each piece of furniture and is given its own individual name (above Marianne,Chip, & Lila).
{Thank You Margaret for sending over the beautiful pics}

Spring Inspiration

I just compiled a few cool things for spring. The first picture is a wonderful butterfly duvet from dwell studios. The second is a Tree Bed!! Very interesting to say the least. I love the alarm clocks I found at potterybarn!! The colors are so fresh and bright. Perfect for springtime!! The last is proabably my favorite!!! It is a reshapeable vase (as seen on HGTV's I WANT THAT!) that you dip in hot H2O to sculpt and after achieving your desired shape/design you dip in cold H2O to seal its shape.

Can't get enough: Wallcollection




I admit I have a bit of an obsession with wallpaper but I just can't help it!!! I love wallcollection because they allow you to upload your own photos/designs and create your own wallpaper. Above are just some samples you can find in their gallery.

Abigail Ahern Lighting Collection



I love these two chandeliers found at Abigail Ahern! I love products with a unique presence. The first chandelier is made of wire and the second a grouping of light bulbs.

Eva Zeisel Design




Eva Zeisel was awarded the National Design Award for Lifetime Achievement by the National Design Museum in 2005. She is popularly known for ceramic designs but I believe her table designs are just as gorgeous! She didn't start designing tables until her early 90's but both her ceramics and tables have a interesting playful style!
