1. Have You Met Miss Jones, Bone Sneaker Vase
2. Core77 Play-doh Kicks Design Contest
3. The (most awesome, especially for artistic boys!) Sneaker Coloring Book
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'm sure most of you heard of the Dunstan Baby Language by now... I first heard about it from my mother, but unfortunately never really bothered to check it out back when Freida was a newborn. Someone (thanks Rach!) just mentioned it again - I never knew her famous debut was on Oprah - and I thought I'd share the wisdom: [googlevideo=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4052428020269668962&hl=iw#]
This should definitely be added to every new-moms essential tools!! That is, in addition to (the completely amazing!!) Dr. Harvey Karp!
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
