Discovered via Moccasin, Little Elephant is a world onto itself: a Swedish brand created by designera nd illustrator Camilla Lundsten that introduces a group of characters and stories through books and products for the home. There is really no way to overdo it with the bright colors and whimsical graphics, even if your kids have no idea who these characters are.

Guess what I found?

West Elm Graphic Printed Basket for $100 – not bad

Amazon Handmade African Knitting Basket for $55 (its smaller though, but the same look for half the price!)

Styling done right becomes art, no? Take a look at these shelves designed and styled by James Hopkins. Do you see what I see? Amazing. Via Trendland

You don’t say?

Painting a wall or large piece of furniture black for a moody contrast to brighter colors or whites in the room is dramatic, but it can instantly add a touch of modernity in the new year. Matte black is even better. Pair it with warm woods and brown leathers for a masculine touch. Or with faded pastels for a feminine appeal.

Brilliant idea from Trampoline. Pick up some semi-ridiculous lamp bases from thrift stores, chuck the faded and outdated shades and replace with those trendy half chrome bulbs or Edison bulbs. Instant upgrade. I must try this pronto!

Every major design blog has a gift guide of their own so I won’t over do it. I’ve just been pulling items that would make me happy, so I am assuming anyone would be happy to receive these too. For the holidays or just because, young and old, boy or girl – you get the picture. All very reasonably priced and super cool. Time is running out.
