I love my refurbished bar cabinet and wouldn’t trade it for anything, but I’m really drawn to The Sidebar. It would be so handsome in my entryway where I could introduce it to my guests and ask if they’d like a Sidecar from my Sidebar. (Sorry for that one. But not really.) (via Apartment Therapy)
PS: Check out the equally gorgeous glasses…

Being a designer is one thing, taking what you’ve created on screen and successfully translating it to print is another. There are so many rules and regulations (and opinions) that it can sometimes be overwhelming to remember it all. I love that A Print Handbook For Designers puts all of these little bits and pieces in one place, in fact I think it’s the best reference source of this type that I’ve seen in nine years of designing. It only costs about $10 which includes delivery, so if you’re a designer you really have no excuse left to not have your production spot on every single time. (via notcot)

Such a smart contemporary twist on something so vintage and iconic. These wooden pennants would be the perfect accent for an outdoor party or wedding this summer. (via pinkshirtsandcarwrecks)
Posted In create, woodThese sculptures from Norman Mercer are lovely. Are they glass or crystal? Nope, acrylic. And it’s never looked so good. (via Design for Mankind)
Posted In createThese days put anything with geometric shapes and bold bright colors in front of my eyes and you’ve got me. When it comes to these Tangram State Postcards from Midnight Umbrella it certainly doesn’t hurt that I’m a huge geography nerd as well. And get this: tend postcards for ten bucks. (via Colossal)
