great industrial metal legs against a fragile top on this table. great contrast.
love the bubble ball bed. the circular bubble wooden balls appear to be floating up to the sky like bubbles in a drink.
when i saw this coffee table i thought what a beautifully simple design...then i thought it looks like something at the playground my son used to love to crawl through. still very fun.
this leather chair is divine, curvy, seductive in shape and material. fabulous!
more for my pillow obsession, these are playful and cheery!
believe it or not one of my favorite pieces from the conran shop are their tolix stools, shown in the first photo above. they are industrial in design, economical, resilient and simple enjoyment around a kitchen bar or island, or in front of a child's drawing table? the conran shop also has a table with similar steel leg features that i love as well. just sort of raw looking. making it look like it was constructed from found objects. love that. the conran shop has stores in the us, uk, japan and france. lucky for all of us. they feature objects for your home from lighting to outdoor, to kitchen and gift ideas. an eclectic variety to flip through on line, definitely worth having a looksy.
it's also a sad day and a beautiful day. here in massachusetts the sun is shining as it did 7 years ago on this same morning. the air is crispy sharp here, kids are off to school and everyone is going about their day. i was driving my son back from school today with flags at half mast and sort of slowed down my car a bit, looked around and thought how hard it is to be sad on such a beautiful day. but it can't be helped...burned into our memory are the events that took place those many years ago now, but somehow certain tragedies linger, make us slow down from time to time and reflect. boston's logan airport, where another beautiful day began 7 years ago is where i fly out of when traveling. a new 9/11 memorial was unveiled and dedicated this week. a place to go to for families, friends and strangers. 2 walkways representing 2 planes flight paths lead up a small knoll to a green grass cube containing the names of 148 people who vanished that morning, that beautiful day where nothing ugly should have happened and did.
