Little Elephant

January 28th, 2012

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.

Black is the New Black

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.

Illuminated

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 Pick up some semi-ridiculous lamp bases from thrift stores, chuck the faded and outdated shades and replace with those trendy half chrome bulbs or Edison bulbs.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!

2011 Gift Guide

December 13th, 2011

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.
