Lightning

I think if I wore these lightning bolt rhinestone-encrusted earrings I’d feel like Jem from the Holograms. WIN.

Trending: Concrete

This petite cement lamp with wood veneer shade from your nest inspired is 17.5″ tall, but only has a 3 x 3″ footprint. Perfect for small spaces and mood lighting.

Hand-cast concrete desk accessories from Magnus Pettersen would add such an industrial look to your desk. (And would also be perfect for the clumsy, such as myself.)

I’m actually super obsessed with this concrete USB drive. And I love that it’s described as “a contemporary artifact”.

I love the juxtaposition of heavy and bold with light and airy in these Weight vases.

DIY Pixel Art

Sometimes creative adventures don’t turn out the way you’d hoped and find themselves in the trash, other times there are happy accidents. Such is this DIY pixel art project from Wit & Whistle. Amanda created this blown out pixelated piece from a photo of Iceland, can’t wait to make my own!
