de sede. in taupe.

"a chair for sinking back and plunging into blissful comfort." that's the way the swiss company de sede describes their ds-110 line of leather seating. does that make you want one? oh yeah....

de sede offers up this scrumptious line in a variety of earthy tones, but personally, i'm drawn to just about all of it, in taupe. for some reason the leather is somehow more dominant in this color palette, a little bit more sexy and fresh.

in fact de sede goes on to describe this line as "progressive and fresh, not loud, but gratifyingly different." so there you go. plus it's still leather-sexy. enjoy!

rough cuts.

happy friday friends! today i wanted to share how much i really like the rough cuts, the not so perfect nature of these pieces offered up by alexis russell on her etsy site lexluxe.

the mixture of the shiny gold and the silver white of the rough diamonds make for a interesting surprise. and who doesn't want to be interesting? enjoy!

i love this idea. especially when there are similar mediums, tones of oil pastels, crayons, graphite and charcoal. mixed and blended, these mediums, no matter the subject, the image or study, offer a softness, a compatibility to the grouping, to the space, to your well being in the space. sooooo....the way it should be. enjoy...
