Spring in Amsterdam paints a colorful canvas that lasts all summer long. Even if it’s still a bit chilly, have a coffee by the canals or get your bike out of storage and go for a ride in the park. Flowers are starting to bloom, though not the tulips yet… so get inspired for a [...]

History Lesson: Nelson Saucer Pendant Lamp

Written by Michele on April 23, 2012 — Leave a Comment

Inspired by a spherical hanging lamp made in Sweden, architect George Nelson designed the first bubble lamps in 1947. Their beautiful sculptural shapes were produced by pulling an innovative translucent plastic tautly over a steel wire frame, allowing an abundance of soft, diffused light through with no glare. The plastic was developed for military use, [...]

Design Meets Fashion: Agate

Written by Sara on April 18, 2012 — Leave a Comment

The use of agate in design is getting more and more incredible. What started as chunky jewelry and lamp bases has transformed into thin sliced pieces of agate inlayed into walls or surrounded by precious metal in order to highlight the beautiful design in the natural stones. I absolutely adore this bathroom, don’t you?! (Images [...]

Also known as a Vitruvian wave, a wave scroll and a running dog pattern, the Vitruvian scroll is a series of connected curved lines which, when repeated, form a stylized breaking wave pattern.

Destination: Highclere Castle

Written by Michele on April 13, 2012 — Leave a Comment

Are you as addicted to Downton Abbey as I am? Mind you, I’ll watch anything with Dame Maggie Smith in it, but all I really need is a castle in England, period costume, and a fantastic and dramatic upstairs/downstairs storyline and I’m hooked. Downton Abbey is filmed at one of England’s most beautiful Victorian marvels, [...]

Design Meets Fashion: Mad Men Style

Not only is the screenplay and acting wonderful, but the art direction is impeccable and there is no limit to the amount of beautiful mid-century modern pieces to drool over. And along with captivating viewers, Mad Men has sparked a resurrecting love for mid-century [...]
