I’m not a huge fan of wallpaper. Mainly because it’s so much more difficult to change on a whim when I get tired of it that paint is. But this wallpaper from Soy Este? This funnest of fun wallpaper based on multiples of everyday objects? This I could totally get behind. Check out the entire selection of brilliance right here. {via Two Brunettes}

Wishing I had seen these darling wood handled Valentine’s Day stamps from Paperfinger before I made my own valentines. They would have been so much prettier (and easier)!
I love the egg-like shape of the OvoPur, an eco-friendly water filter. There’s also the OvoBar, a beverage dispenser for whatever you choose. How gorgeous would either of these look sitting on your counter? Very.
I’m the first to confess to my love/hate relationship with The Martha, but I also know when it’s time to man up and admit she and her staff have done something noteworthy. I’m completely smitten with this series of projects on how to make handmade jewelry and accessories. Here are a few standouts that I can’t wait to try my hand at…
Posted In jewelry, make it, wear itI’m a sucker for all white anything. Currently there’s a white wreath ‘o sticks on my front door from Christmas that I just can’t bear to take down. I’m thinking this felt flower winter wreath would be a good middle of the road for this living-in-winter-but-looking-forward-to-spring time of year. I love the pops of neon thread in a big way. And guess what? You can make your own.
My grandmother has an impressive china cabinet in her dining room filled to the brim with heavy pewter pieces and chunky white stoneware that we only bring out for holidays and special occasions. She’s been collecting it all for ages and I can’t help but associate the two things with her and her delicious cooking. I think that’s why this pewter stoneware first struck a chord in me. But then I realized what a daring fusion it was of two distinct styles and couldn’t stop staring.

Posted In cocktailsAs an admitted bibliophile and graphic designer attached at the hip to my MacBook, Twelve South’s Bookbook couldn’t be more up my alley. The inside is velvety soft, while the outside is a set of rigid hardback leather covers that sandwiches your MacBook inside for protection. The Bookbook looks good, functions well and is the perfect disguise should need be. Love it.
