Brilliant just doesn’t seem enough to describe how I feel about these screw on tops by designer Jorre can Ast. By screwing on plastic tops everyday jars are turned into vessels with a specific function. The family includes a sugar pot, milk jug, chocolate sprinkler, oil&vinegar set and a water jug.

When April of Chronicle Books contacted me about Serena Dugan and Lily Kanter’s Nursery Style book I jumped at the chance to learn more. The book is geared towards creating a personal, stylish and comfortable nursery. Rather than just going to a store and getting an out-of-the-box ensemble, Nursery Style encourages parents to reflect their own style and use unique design elements to create a more personal, meaningful nursery.
I love that someone has finally taken the initiative and put pen to paper on this subject! By bringing your own personal tastes into the nursery, everything becomes more cohesive and gives your home a more familial feel. Don’t get me wrong, having a child is a huge deal, but it doesn’t mean that the style and feel of your home has to change into some kiddie wonderland.

Love this new typography term, but I can only hope that an ex-associate creative director of mine doesn’t discover it. The world may never be the same if she does!
Ready-to-hang Pop Ink Decor-a-Boards are made out of birch veneer over MDF board, manufactured with recycled wood scraps and unused portions of lumbered trees. I’d pick up Little Red Samurai and Lovey Doveys for myself and think the other five would be great for a child’s bedroom or play area.

Posted In create, mixed mediaOh Andrew Bannecker, how I love thy work! Bannecker creates beautiful art that captures the imagination and tells a story. He’s worked with clients such as The Land of Nod and Starbucks. I’ve also seen his work in countless magazines as the accompanying illustrations to main articles. I love this man’s style.
I’m swooning over this Summer Love print by artist Andy Davis.
After the weekend I had I don’t have any business posting anything alcohol-related, but the Cheers ring is so darn smart. The perfect boyfriend or super-cool-girl-friend gift I’m thinking.

The Five-a-Day poster series by UK-based Man vs Machine is so graphically intelligent. I love the way they took the idea of getting your five fruits and veggies a day and morphed it into a series of deconstructed works of art. So much so that if you weren’t aware of the basis of project, you may not even be aware of what you were looking at.
A cute little notebook is a must to throw in my purse. This one’s adorable and not a big commitment which is perfect because I like to change things up a lot.
