I'm off again for another work trip, this time to open this store . I'm totally excited but once again, don't have a lot of time to post on this little blog. I will be a guest curator on the wonderful blog CRESCENDoh next week (Oct. 25th- 31st), so you can check out some of my favorite links and my Art Saves story (a little tale of how art has saved my life) over there.

http://poppytalk.blogspot.com/ When I first moved away from home, one of the first things I tried to make was polenta. It was a complete disaster. My arms were pockmarked with tiny burns thanks to the boiling hot bubbles of cornmeal that seemed to bubble up non-stop. The end result was thick and tasteless and I threw it away. It was years before I had the guts to try polenta again. I'm glad I did, because polenta is awesome.
Have you guys heard of Kishani Perera? If not, she's the author of a new ( favorite ) book called, Vintage REMIX . She's also a talented Interior Designer- one who worked with model, Molly Sims, whose home is featured on the cover of the book! Kishani is also the founder of the design company, Fuse ID & you'll see her work in magazines like In Style , People Magazine , Better Homes & Garden & more. This girl gets around...in a good way of course! I love this book because it truly mixes modern & vintage, one things I really need to do more of in my own space, I know!

Just a Year Ago...

http://purestylehome.blogspot.com/2010/04/just-year-ago.html ... Just a year ago we moved into our new {70s} home. We've made so many changes to it that I thought a before& after post of the whole house would be fun. I'll put links throughout the post to the specific rooms in the house so if you've got any questions, check those post for answers, sources, how to's, etc.

When we got a tiny glimpse of Peaches' home last year in a house call , we knew that we needed to see more. Her home has an undeniable sense of happiness and fun. She has a knack for making beautiful objects out of unusual materials, and those who read Peaches' blog have long known the kind of whimsy and charm her many DIY projects possess. Now we get to see how they all fit together to make a wonderfully charming home. More http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/

This one is for those of you who have a hundred t-shirts in your drawers or closets, but only ever wear ten of them… lol. It’s fashion recycling at it’s best: t-shirt jewelry . I saw this one over at Instructables (if you are remotely cool, you’ll check it out)… http://www.kemeya.com/blog/make/492

Artichoke Mixed Book Page Pendant Light : Grassrootsmodern

And the award for best DIY lamp shade EVER goes to…. Allison Patrick of Zipper 8 Lightning . A recent graduate from architecture school, Allison decided that she would “start a design firm making cool stuff”. The result is a whole collection of amazing lighting like the Artichoke Mixed Book Page Pendant Light shown above. All of her lamps use commonplace materials like book pages, plastic bags, straws etc but with amazing results.
I first spotted Australian craft goods shop Blank , popping up up on Pinterest a while ago. I'm already a sucker for packaging goods and craft supplies, so that's an automatic thumbs up in my book. But what's really brilliant about Blank is the way they've set it up so that once you've selected a "blank" craft supply to view, you are given a gallery of images showcasing creative ways to use it. Awesome! Even if you're not up for a shopping trip, there's still loads of creative inspiration to be had for free on their site . You can't really get much better than that!

Design Milk: Modern Design

The No. 216 sideboard, by Swedish designer Jesper Ståhl for Voice , is one sleek piece of storage furniture. The idea behind the design was for the door compartments to correspond to the A-series paper standards that are used worldwide. A0 (square meter) being the size of the whole unit and all the way down to A8 (74 mm x 53 mm), the smallest door on the unit.
