french vacation

i have never been to france. never!! that seems so wrong to me considering i took french classes for years and am very proficient in asking for the time and in telling someone where i went to school. ha!!

anyway, one of my favorite bloggers, hei astrid just visited provence, france and stayed in the most amazing hotel i have ever seen and it's only a 2 1/2 hour train ride from paris!

anna aden

this has been an amazing summer and we still have our maine trip to look forward to. these shots by anna aden are so universal of the joy of summer!

seashanties

a few shots from seashanties photostream. i am obsessed with facets lately. making a new series of paintings about them. it's fun.

soft parcel

TAF created these fabric covered foam "parcels" as the simplest form of upholstered furniture. read more here on their site.

tina tyrell & custom resource

tina tyrell is super versatile and cool nyc based photographer who shot these great interior shots for the brooklyn based furniture design firm custom resource. they have some amazing furniture pieces as shown in homes they have consulted for. very inspiring.

phillip low

these glass sculptures by phillip low are amazing. the photos of the sculptures are equally amazing. you can find them at the new lower east side boutique/gallery, maryam nassir zadeh.

they also match my header quite nicely.

jielde lamps

i think the time has finally come for me to purchase a jielde lamp. i just can't stand it anymore. they are just so beautiful and they come in so many pretty colors. choosing the color and model will now take me another year. floor or table? red, orange, yellow, blue? oh no!

mark mawson

eerie and beautiful photographs by australian photographer, mark mawson.

sandra freij

i haven't posted about a photographer in awhile, so i figured i should start again with one of my favorites- sandra freij from sweden. i always say that photographer's i love remind me of guy bourdin, but she really does. it must be the legs.

paperwink stamps

i love these customized address stamps by paperwink. i have wanted them for awhile, but i keep thinking i will move soon (even though we have lived in our current place for over 5 years!) maybe when we buy a house.

pattie lee becker

i'm loving pattie lee becker's show at the awesome bird shop in williamsburg. her drawings work so well in the gorgeous space. here are some of her drawings and sculptures.

linus bikes

i just love this white bike from linus bikes in california. white, black, and brown- the perfect color combo.
