SIMPLE WOOD, GREAT DESIGN

2011
This weekend, I was down in DC spending some quality time with my sister and her family. Between rain showers, we were able to take a number of walks outside. Living in NYC, I forget how nice it is to walk through neighborhoods with tree-lined streets. It got me thinking about how much I love wood as a material. It’s so simple yet has such great texture, color and shape. 
While rustic tables and chairs are great and I’ve written about reclaimed wood (here), recently I’ve been fascinated by modern designs, all made from wood. Here are a few of my favs.

GRAPHIC FRIDAY

2011

Yesterday I had every intention of posting about these lovely geometric prints I’d seen at {Black. White. Yellow} Totally graphic, colorful and right up my alley.

However,  NYC had different plans for me. As I was packing to DC, my rental car got towed. Apparently I was just a little too close to a fire hydrant. After a few hours and some hefty fees, my car was free and I was on my way to DC.

Today, I hope to get down to some of the fantastic antique and thrift stores on the Eastern Shore. Last trip, I came home with a ton of glassware and cool finds. If there’s anything you’re looking for, let me know.

Here are a few more geometric items, inspired by these prints. Happy Friday!

Patterns Everywhere!

2010

So recovering from my 30th birthday celebration at Market Table and the Ace Hotel on Monday night, I spent a lot of time on the couch yesterday, laptop in hand. Trolling for images, I noticed that there were a lot of great bohemian/ tribal patterns emerging from mainstream companies like Wisteria, Pottery Barn and Anthropologie.

The first thing I found was this fabulous black and white settee from Wisteria. I absolutely love bold pattern and scalloped edge. Plus the graphic black and white could really fit in anywhere. If I had more space, this would be already be on it’s way to my apartment…
