You know me, so you know these pillows can smite me. Iconic mid-century classic silhouettes go stark and simple. As graphics. On throw pillows. Awesome. Modern Classics from Inhabitat from $45.00
Would love to throw this green one right onto my Eames rocker...!
I saw this photo while leafing through this months Dwell magazine, and can't get over it. How ingenius to plant a "play thing" smack in middle of the living room, where everyone can see it! I think it really minimizes the play-time factor while bumping up the fluidity of a adult/child home, by incorporating some (preferably beatific, or at least well done) "toys" into the everyday layout and decor. Gives me so many wonderful ideas....
This photo is of the Orpilla/Alexander living room, new residents who moved into a 1972 home built by David Boone in Orinda, CA. You can read more about the project/home, here.
Got wind of the fact that charming little Sweet William opened a brand new shop in downtown Manhattan on Kenmare off of Lafayette. What sweet news!
New York mom-to-watch, Bronagh Staley, former editor at Cookie Magazine (if you can't tell, I'm still mourning its' end...), opened the original Sweet William shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn a few years ago - featuring small and socially responsible labels this boutique offers a unique, natural, and fanciful spot to pick up children's clothing, gifts, gear, and accessories.
I've been long-time loving the fabulous collection - she simply puts together all the greatest out there - and wanted to spread the word and wish her heaps of luck at the new location:
85 Kenmare Street New York, NY 10012 212 343 7301
Here's a little roundup of some of my favorites, so you can get an idea what all the fuss is about!
1. April Showers Dada Wool Baby Shoes
2. Atsuyo Et Akiko Alphabet Sweatshirt
5. Finger in the Nose Snowbird Down Baby Warmer
6. Tane Organics Mushroom Rattles
Fell for this chair a few years ago when I saw it printed in an art magazine. I ripped it out and kept in in a file folder titled "nesting inspirations", I was dreaming about something like this in an entryway... Pretty much forgot about it until I landed upon it yesterday in an email about the designer Sebastian Brajkovic.
I find this take on "modernizing" furniture so refreshing! The designer used different methods (including carpentry) to "morph" the classics - like this 17th Century dining chair - into modern art. I'm now officially creatively inspired. :)
