friday. finally!






I've been busy working on a little side project this week so I've neglected my little old shop a bit.  But, nevertheless, I'm excited about the inspiration I've found in the loveliest of places.  All the links for the above products are archived on this pinterest inspiration board but thanks must go to the following folks for their divine images...

1. emma lamb crochet pillows
2. ohdeedoh books
3. paloma's nest hangers
5. little home bird pillow

decorate


If you've been reading any decor blogs at all lately you are aware that Holly Becker's book is finally available.  Holly is the designer behind the popular blog decor 8. One of my personal favorite haunts.

The book is currently out in limited release. I picked mine up at Anthropologie this weekend. I was a little hesitant to drop $35 on a design book until I opened it. And it didn't take but a moment before I was sold. All 271 pages are truly inspirational.  Beautiful from start to finish. 

Two very discriminating thumbs up.

kid made modern


I haven't actually purchased this book. Yet. But you can bet I will.
From the Ammo Books website...

Designer Todd Oldham shares his love and admiration of mid-century design ideas and translates them into creative, colorful, and thoughtful projects for kids. From a cardboard box fort inspired by architect Luis Barragn to window decorations made from painted paper inspired by designer Russell Wright, these projects are sure to delight kids and adults alike.

One part design primer and two parts handmade fun, Kid Made Modern introduces kids to mid-century design heroes with 52 playful, simple-to-make craft projects. This delightful book features inexpensive, often recycled, and easily accessible materials with clear photography and easy-to-follow steps.
