size too small: things i like right now
mahna mahna factory
walk in bookcase
a walk in bookcase is almost more appealing than a walk in closet (almost)
the rest of the house is pretty darn amazing too… Read more on walk in bookcase…
upside down vegetables
what an amazing idea if you don’t have much of a garden (or a garden at all) and you want to grow your own veggies
the advantages of upside-down gardening are many: it saves space; there is no need for stakes or cages; it foils pests and fungus; there are fewer, if any, weeds; there is efficient delivery of water and nutrients thanks to gravity; and it allows for greater air circulation and sunlight exposure.
bird nerd
i might have to get this cup to drink my tea out of at the office, as we are faced with severe cup politics - don’t use my cup and i won’t use yours kind of thing.
brook farm general store
balto building
greg martin did an awesome renovation of this old building in minneapolis, taking 2 years to turn it from a run down warehouse-like commercial building into 2 residential units (one of which he settled in with his daughter) and one commercial unit, to supplement his income. impressive & so beautifully done…
ravilious for me
perhaps you remember the post i did about eric ravilious? well when i was researching him i happened to come across one of his wedgwood plates on bid or buy, of all places, and it arrived in the post yesterday!
all i need
i know i usually feature fancy looking wood & glass masterpieces, but i’d really just like a pretty little house, possibly with a garden (or a courtyard, or a verandah – or all three) that’s close to town so that i can walk everywhere.
corvo chair
i will not hesitate to say that the corvo might be my dream chair. i can see several of these babies around a dinner table or at a desk or just sitting in the corner looking suave. designed by noé duchaufour-lawrance
“under a vast blue sky”
from the new york times: Jan McFarland Cox, an artist and designer, spent nearly a decade of her life building a house in the Idaho desert, along with architect Tom Kundig.
imagine lingering over a cup of coffee in this kitchen!
neverend
i really can’t decide which colour i prefer. both? from furni
neverend is a series of clocks created in conjunction with a select group of incredibly talented artists and designers. Each piece features artwork that is laser-etched onto a 3/8” thick piece of high quality russian birch plywood to create a bold graphic interpretation of the quintessential wall clock.
cact’aaaight
does anyone else extend words that end in i, and throw a gangster ‘aaaight’ on the end? well i do, and now you probably will too. cact’aaaight?! these cacti are throughly un-gangster, apart from the fact that they’re kind of dangerous (nay, prickly.) i’ve never been very partial to cacti, but i am now – the colours swayed me. photos by elly yap
tick tock
i have a thing for old clocks. i would fill my house with them if it wasn’t for the fact that the ticking drives me nuts. one day i will fill a shelf with a row of silent ones. these vintage alarm clocks are from clockwork universe
