Yes, in my dream office there is no need for proper office chairs with, you know, lumbar support because they are ugly. There are also no cords and very little paper in my imaginary workspace. Fortunately, there are a couple realistic elements here. The paint color, for one. I love it when people give the [...]

The cataloging of my favorite interiors continues with the Ace Hotel. There are locations in Seattle, Portland, New York, and Palm Springs. Aren’t these photos just the perfect mix of modern, industrial and vintage?
I would love to figure out how to achieve this balance. In my opinion, modern furniture can quickly become lifeless on its [...]

Amanda Johnson, of the blog Here’s Looking at Me, Kid describes herself as “just a 20 something paper loving, thrift hunting, picture taking, beauty finding, healthy living, simple yet complicating girl”. I would like to add insanely inspiring and talented to that list. I have never been into scrapbooking, but this girl takes it to [...]

Ever since I came across this studio tour on Design Sponge, I have been so excited to create a new office space for Theory. I can’t get these photos (taken by the talented Lincoln Barbour) out of my head. There are more on Parliament’s site, including photos of the whole process.
We’re getting the keys for [...]

How cute is this watch from Anthropologie? I also appreciate that these are pieced together from different vintage watches and not manufactured to just look vintage. The reviews are mixed, however. Some loved the unique watches that arrived in the mail, but others were really upset. To be fair, the disappointed customers are more likely [...]

If I had a cat or small dog, this is just the sort of bed it would have. I came across these at Modern Karibou. I especially love the one on the left. Gorgeous, but $449 CAD. If you’re interested in making your own version (and you actually own a small pet), you can buy [...]

These lights remind me of the trouble light-inspired pendants from Anthro that I posted about. But these little guys are made from vintage industrial whisks! Want. (Check out this tutorial, via Remodelista.) Ashley Ann came up with another light inspired by the trouble lights using a wire basket (thanks for the link, Sarah!).
A vintage [...]

Raise your hand if you hate linear kitchens. They are also referred to as “modern single wall kitchens” or “efficient European-style kitchens” in pretty much every apartment ad on Craigslist. We have this style in our current apartment and I will admit, you can wash the dishes very efficiently… while sitting on your sofa. We [...]

Looking for a reason to buy some (more) Japanese masking tape? Yeah, me too. I covered these tiny binder clips with some of the tape and they are pretty adorable. Almost makes me want to get organized. Almost. Maybe these would help, too:
These clothes pins made by Whitney of Whisker Graphics remind me of ones [...]

My ideas are often a little too grandiose for my skill set. Seriously. I have these projects stuck in my head, and no clue how to follow through. Instead of taking the time to learn, I tend to run ahead to the next project, leaving behind a messy path of tools and supplies. Not good [...]
