I can’t wait to find some pieces at the swap meet to make some of these.

Who needs Chia pets when you can make your friends look ridiculous.

Totally dig the idea of having nearly a gallery’s worth of black and white photos to spice up the bathroom experience.

I need this. It’s orange. It’s an ampersand. It’s wooden. Perfect!

City in a Bag

I found these on the MUJI site this week. I can’t decide which one I want first.

They will go wonderfully on my window sill.

Coeur

Yep, when the weather is beautiful/gloomy like today and I’m spending a morning in solitude with my tea and jazz, the only thing on my mind is romance.

Cue Etsy shop Sarah and Bendrix and their wonderful little creations.

Boy did I pick the right day to go glance over at the Apartment Therapy blog.

I think I have found an interior decoration style that nearly epitomizes my design preferences. I didn’t think I would ever be drawn to mostly white spaces, but with its careful placement of color and effective use of Bauhaus art, I just can’t resist.

This “rocks”

Israeli student Shmuel Linski created this Expresso Solo concrete expresso machine while at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.

There are so many reasons to love this project: the simplicity of functions, the contrast of the concrete and the smooth curves, the patina that might develop from coffee stains, an appliance that becomes part of the design of your home rather than a temporary “thing”,  and the textural contrast of the harsh concrete to the smooth steel and glass. Minimalist, but dirty.

I have no idea how much it weighs, but you can’t let a detail like that weigh you down.
