Katarina Malmström&Brown - StumbleUpon
Swedish-born Katarina Malmström Brown is a phenomenal photographer who has worked for just about every decent European magazine out there - Allt i Hemmet, Bo Bedre, every Elle there is, Hus & Hem, Residence, Sköna Hem (she currently operates out of London, Stockholm and Los Angeles), and it's clear why she's so popular. Her photos are vibrant and eye-catching, and the spaces themselves are spectacular. I'm taking notes, on both the decor and the photography.
Do-it-Yourself DIY String Wedding Lanterns Yarn Chandeliers - StumbleUpon
Jessica of Wednesday Inc shows us how to make those gorgeous twine chandeliers from the inspiration shoot she shared with us this morning. Using balloons, glue and twine, you can also make these lanterns for your wedding – and then bring it home and use it as your very own mid century lampshade. What you will need are: balloons, glue, yarn, tray for glue, corn starch 1/2 cup of Corn starch, 1/4 cup of Warm water, clear fast drying spray paint, hanging lamp cord or fishing line (depending on your desired final product), and a lighting kit if you’re looking for a fully functional lantern. Jessica recommends using a sharpie to mark on the inflated balloon how much room you need to leave for the lighting cord. She also recommends coating the balloon with vaseline prior to wrapping the yarn coated with glue so it doesn’t stick on the balloon once it’s dry. You can see all the details on Jessica’s blog.

(yes i'm working on seasonal projects too and will show those later on next week possibly.)okay.so i like "vintage" looking things. if i can get my hands on the real thing it's like christmas no matter what time of the year it is... but too often that doesn't happen, and if i do come across something, it's too expensive for me to feel good about it.so i decide to make my own.
