It would be fair to say the second I saw Lotta Nieminen’s illustrations I became instantly obsessed with her flat style. It lacks any dimension, yet is chalk full of details and fantastic color combinations. She has a lovely eye for design. {via Kitsune Noir}
Love this take on the Japanese washi tape trend – Oldbook Vintage Masking Tape. {via Better Living Through Design}
Clutches always make me a bit nervous. I’m always afraid I’ll set mine down and walk away unknowingly. Because that’s the sort of thing I do. But these bags from MAKE.GOOD would be impossible to leave behind. I love the slim lines and bold, handprinted graphics.
A self-proclaimed treasure hunter, Alexandra emailed me last week to share her new venture – Blue Carrot Shop. It’s full of all her great finds, everything from housewares to the handmade. My favorite section is letterpress. I’d love to have a bit of wall filled with beautiful wood type.
These handmade paper puppets by Furze Chan are currently out of stock, but I couldn’t resist sharing. Choose from a bear, baboon or fox. Each puppet is made from thick paper card stock and has moveable joints. I can’t say I’d mind having a set of my own, the design is so eye-catching. {via Oh Joy!}
Loving the hand-drawn type in these pieces by Caisee Montgomery of Maddox + Klaus. {via design is mine}
I moved into my house in July 08 and have yet to do a thing to my guest room other than inflate an air mattress. Does that even count? It’s not the biggest of spaces – roughly 10×12 – and just thinking about how to decorate it exhausts me. I want it to be comfortable without being crammed and my biggest conundrum is the bed itself. As in how in the world am I going to fit one in there with any other piece of furniture?!
But now I think I’ve found a solution, and I wasn’t even looking. Isn’t that how the best things happen? Check out Blik’s new headboard decals. There are five designs and a boatload of color options. I’m really digging the wrought iron in charcoal best, but you can check them all out here.
