Found this quirky-gone-cool bedroom decor idea while browsing for a "novelty" duvet cover for my mom (Hi, Mom!), at Urban Outfitters. Great for newlyweds who start out with mattresses on the floor, teeny-tiny apartments, or neglected guest bedrooms. You're either gonna go for it, or you won't. Thought I'd give a bit of a decor intervention - something like this can do feng shui wonders... especially when the alternative is nothing at all. Olivia Headboard Wall Decal $55.00
I'm currently loving this artist, Aliette. Her art was recently added to the fabulous selection over at Kindergallery. Modern, simple, and charming - this Automne series is reminiscent of the fall in all its colorful splendor. (But let's just enjoy August for now...) : )
Kindergallery features a collection of fine art for children. It's a great place to explore hip and new artists from around the globe. Inspiring and stimulating, if you are looking to spruce up a nursery/playroom - art is a surefire way to go.
I fell in love with this photo of the Lazy Lawn (among many, many other things) at the Shoreditch House in East London. Then I found out it was designed by Tom Dixon, now I'm simply smitten!
(I've been sort of stalking Tom's design career. Mostly his lighting. No big deal. I just love him.)
About those Skokie critters... : ) The first thing Freida wants to do here each morning is go out into the backyard and chase the critters. Chipmunks, squirrels, robins, and rabbits - her favorite, are all there playing on the green waiting to greet the day. Her sheer excitement over the little wild things roaming free is uncontainable. She runs after them, one at a time, until they disappear into the shrubbery, laughing gleefully through the whole process. I sip my coffee and relish in watching my little girl's unbridled joy. Summer morning bliss.
All this reminds me of a post I did a while back - these sweet forest wall decals. Feel like I'm here in the forest with all these lil' guys....
I've been helping my sister-in-law (can't wait to see them, Esther!) out with a project this week, so I've got wall-decor on the mind. Check out these retro-chic wallpaper animal silhouettes! Each animal is hand-cut from vintage wallpaper in fabulous patters, bringing a totally designer-style twist to any wall - that will delight artful adults, as well as enchant the kiddos.
