Frazier & Wing




Again, with the party goods. But these are actually saleable - not just pretty pictures.

Neighborhood watch



As I have mentioned before, I am always on the lookout for tasteful kitty condos. My boys, Luca and Tino LOVE theirs which is so tacky but I just don't have the heart to take it away. After all, being on neighborhood watch all day and night is not an easy job... Anyway, the genius behind Desire to Inspire sawed a changing table in half and secured it to the wall for her cats. So clever!!

Chumbi Ice Cream





This packaging by Meg Eaton on the Dieline caught my eye. Everything about it is so unique. It is not simple by any means, yet she kept it simple. This was extremely complex and took an immense amount of talent to pull off!

Why didn't I think of that?



I always say that I don't carry purses too small to fit an extra pair of shoes in but this could expand my handbag collection. Seriously, shoes at the end of the night out of a vending machine? Brilliant!!!

Stina Persson






I am so taken with Stina Persson's work. It speaks for itself.

Tavern




I am always looking for beautiful restaurants and this one is particularly extraordinary. The soft, muted palette, the hardwood floors, indoor greenery... it is slightly eclectic and cohesive in an understated and fantastic way.

Dirk Westphal






These surfboards and goldfish imagery by Dirk Westphal are unreal. There is something non-cliche about it and yet I have no way to explain how it is different from mundane or trite goldfish art.

Wall Map



I have ALWAYS wanted one of these huge atlases, they are so colorful and chic.

Green, White & Black







Green, white and black could quite possibly be my new favorite color combination. I am in love with this kitchen... white walls, dark wood floors - gorgeous!!

Barn Renovations






As you already know, I adore barn conversions - especially if they preserve the integrity of the original structure and there is an ounce of warmth to them. They have a tendency to go too contemporary and the coziness of a barn is lost so walking a fine line is difficult to do. It requires an enormous amount of talent and I believe, a true passion for the structure you are working on. These caught my eye from Remodelista and Farmhousemodern.com.
