bethan gray: sleek design

i am seriously loving the sleek console and table designs of london-based bethan gray. and that ombre jade green cabinet below? the look is created by hand using a technique called stain shading with a brass overlay creating the really gorgeous contemporary pattern. it's all just pure love...

enjoy!

i'm dancing around the house this sunday morning to the first single by the amazing trio peridot...

what are you up to this weekend? anything fun? i'm fighting a cold that seems to not want to leave me so i'll be hunkering in and sipping hot tea and eating treats after a long week. in between that i hope to start a new tiny ship series project and sleeeeeep in!

i hope that your weekend is everything you want it to be, and it's friday, so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

my latest podcast obsession.

this bisque recipe sounds amazing.

some interesting new book read ideas.

black & white pillow love.

so simple but i love it.

wanting this round beach towel for summer.

a new take on the lightbox, i love this!

how fun is this wall treatment?

this is a super cool chair.

a fun cactus mobile (i like it in nature).

this design studio puts out some amazing product, but these pendant lights take the cake.

authentic mid-century modern?

love, love, LOVE these white textured planters.

gorgeous scissors for a desktop.

makes you blush.

something to think about this weekend for sure (and i LOVE diane von furstenberg's quote at the end!).

really loving this nimbus coffee table in white (and it's on sale...bonus!).

this artwork makes me feel relaxed for some reason. love that!

pretty cool lights.
enjoy!

architectural inspiration

i'm drawn these days to long, lean lines in architectural design, boxy big windows, tons of light and in the end, ways in which design, and the materials utilized blend in or even compliment a natural environment...

what about you? do you deviate in what you are drawn to architecturally, away from your comfort zone or what you grew up surrounded by? it's kind of fun isn't it? enjoy!

new studio find: vjemy

these wow pendant lights were the first pieces that led me (in a big fat hurry) to czech republic's vjemy. founded by adam, samuel & svetlana cigler in 2013, they are an up and coming design studio to keep on your radar... these were a few of my favorites.

but those pendant lights, again, just wow. enjoy!

shape & pattern inspiration

sometimes that's all it takes, to get you motivated, inspired, to get your creative juices flowing...shapes and patterns, the smashing up of particular or unexpected color palettes. i just like these today, that's all...

enjoy!

monday & reform fibers: etsy love

i know, i know, there are so many woven wall hangings out there. but every now and then doesn't one artist/designer stand out to you in the world of macrame design? i'm currently enjoying california-based elsie goodwin's etsy site, and her designs and her subtle use of color and block pattern in each one. have a look...

elsie's site is called reform fibers. if you are loving her pieces like i am and want to learn a bit more about elsie's design process head to her youtube site, here. & enjoy!

sunday & nathaniel rateliff & the night sweats

i'm dancing around the house to nathaniel rateliff & the night sweats this sunday morning...

dance around with me! enjoy...

have a relaxing weekend!

happy friday friends! you've made it to the weekend...

what are you up to this weekend? anything fun? i've been commuting to boston and reaaaally getting into some podcasts, so far these are my favorites. i find them inspiring, positive and they just get me in a great mindset to begin a challenging day. (if you only listen to one, listen to the spanx episode, sooo good!)

in between my new found podcast addiction, i'm shopping for some new bedding (my sheets and pillows need an upgrade), i'm finishing my latest tiny ship series, and will post pictures here. i'll be getting a few outdoor runs in and and sipping red wine at night. the usual stuff that makes my weekend relaxing ;)

and it's friday, so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

minimalist hair clips, etsy love.

even more etsy love.

for summer, yes to this rafia pouch.

like "floating linen on the windows of mediterranean balconies", this wall sconce is just really gorgeous.

so pretty for spring.

these are sure making me think spring.

oh my gosh, this horse in the studio, so fun!

velvet dress love.

i LOVE the striped rug in this dining room.

reaaaallly wanting these chairs.

stitched pillow love.

i imagine everything looks amazing through these pretty sunglasses.

a lime cream deodorant, has anyone tried this?

a sweet studio makeover, (that black bathroom is kind of neat really).

5 favorite food places in paris (and he should know).

the prettiest mirrors, maybe ever.

very cool ways of mixing old and new (and oh my gosh that dog!).

these pigmented polyester resin block sculptures are kind of stunning.

love this commercial service window.
