Check out this innovative Necklace & clothes duo at Hommin spotted on Emma’s blog. How fun. Speaking of necklaces, these lights seem like a variation on the theme.

This Week's Picks
Modern Materials: Burlap Love – Crest Pillow
My husband just got me these rice bag burlap pillows from CB2, which I have been drooling over. I am going to put them in the kitchen of our cabin, where I’ll make a little seating area under the window.
Another beautiful burlap creation is this Crest Pillow from SugarBoo Designs. These are custom [...]
Green Design: The Good Hotel
Ohio Design helped furnish The Good Hotel in San Francisco. It is a socially and environmentally conscious hotel. Eco-friendly furnishings and a twenty four hour donations and volunteer opportunities hotline in the lobby are some of the ammenities made available for the hotel guests.
I personally really love the bed design. It almost [...]
Scandinavian Color Schemes
I love these rooms from Scandinavian Country. They just feel so fresh and soothing. I love the colors and how the different shapes and objects interact.
The two square poufs by the fireplace are so enticing. The combination of the cooler gray fireplace and the fiery, warm squares is beautiful in its simplicity. [...]
The Little Things: Branch Hooks
Sometimes it is all about the little things. I love people’s homes where it seems like they thought of little details. These branch hooks are great. Available at Urban Outfitters for $14.99 for a set of two.
As far as little details, Anthropologie carries some really great door and chest knobs. I [...]
Modern Materials: Photo Print on Console and Photo Grass Printing!!!
Another one of Charles De Lisle’s (2009 CH+D Award for Residential Interior Design pick) creations is this console. Charles took this photograph of the hills behind his home and then printed it on silk wallpaper. The wallpaper now adorns the doors of this unforgettable console. I’m not only in awe of Charles’ [...]
Modern Materials: Branch Light
California Home & Design magazine featured this beautiful home as the 2009 pick for the CH+D Award for Residential Interior Design.
The owner, Charles De Lisle, is a former welder and he designed and made this branch light out of found brass bars. I love that it is suspended by a chunky, natural rope. [...]
Silhouettes Motif
The silhouettes motif pops up in various places and a variety of home objects these days. Jessica Rust Designs creates custom silhouette plates and PrettyFaces makes custom pictures in oval backgrounds available on Etsy. A part of me is beginning to OD on silhouettes, but another part is still drawn to the romance of them.
I [...]
How To? Too Stumped to Buy a Stump
These decorative stumps are fun and I love that they help explore a new function as well as a piece of the outdoors inside. However I cannot quite bring myself to buy a tree stump for almost two hundred dollars. This poses the question. Petrified wood. How do you do it [...]
Modern Spaces: Unexpected Objects
Whimsical and unexpected, a traditionally outdoor swing is now inside, making for a fresh, new trend. I love this swing and the idea of having one indoors. I love that it spruces up this awesome room so naturally. We all love hanging chairs (at least I do). There is something about them [...]
