WOVEN GRAPHICS

French designer Caroline Gauci's Home Addict line of ikat throws are beautiful. And now that she has an online shop for her textiles, I am sure we'll be seeing much more of her work stateside. Gorgeous!

ADORN

Yay; I'm back. Washington went well, not that I saw anything other than floor-to-ceiling cardboard boxes, but none-the-less, I had a great time with family.

I returned to many emails and submissions, one being jewelry designer, Ariel Gordon. I love everything in her shop, plus she is offering 25% off your entire purchase by entering SHOPSTYLE during check out. How great is that? A little retail therapy may be in order!

INTERTWINED

Well, I am off on a last-minute trip to Seattle. Helping my mother settle back into her once-completely-flooded home. Yay! Hope you have a great weekend! xo

I thought I'd leave you with some beautiful Kenneth Cobonpue products that had me speechless. Love his materials.

HAPPY LITTLE BUD

The grouping of these slender bud vases by mudpuppy is darling, as is the wee vase. Sometimes, its the little things...

BEDECK

Tea-stained hemp pillows with eco-friendly kapok filling and hand-stitched embroidery. Understated and svelte. Kapok cushions by enhabiten.

TIERED

Golden tiered perfection. Etage by Refer+Staer. Others by Refer+Staer.

AVAILABLE

After many inquiries for his much-celebrated Blurry Things, Trever Hoehne has opted to make some of his most popular prints available via his new etsy store. Did I mention they are incredibly affordable? Only $35!?! Nice.

To view more of Trev's work, visit www.treverhoehne.com or for more blurry goodness, www.treverhoehne.com/blurrythings.

OPPORTUNE

Just picked up a few sets of letterpress notecards for moving announcements (yes, totally belated) at Cotton Idea Studio; Mindy is having an amazing sale right now: letterpress note card sets for $6 and greetings for only $2. That is a serious steal... check it out before April 30th.

Just a little impromptu sponsor shout out today! xo stets

PLEASE BE SEATED

I'm hoping to get a few of these for the patio this summer. Which, after a 90-degree weekend, appears to be coming quite a bit faster than anticipated. Sunny arm chair at CB2.

DUN-NA

Giggled when I saw these; how great. Finn salt and pepper shakers by Colin O'Dowd.

FANCIFUL BITMAP

Pixels... softened. FF Nelio OT by Sami Kortemäki of Underware. My what pretty numerals you have.

MY POD

I'm sorry, how precious is this!?! An electric vehicle to jot around town... or cruise to the beach. Fun. Peapod. Arnell.

ADDED

Hope you all had a nice Easter weekend! I was able to get quite a bit done, but it still feels like the apartment needs some work. I came across these eco-friendly accessories by Balanced Design. Could add a nice bit of color.

SPOTLIGHT

That is one serious floorlamp. Giant Anglepoise 1227.

RIBBED CAFE

I like to check out the products on Autoban, but during my last visit I noticed the recent addition of The House Cafe Kanyon to their interior section. Gorgeous.photography: Ali Bekman

DEFINED

Loxii has some nice new wall graphics with plans for more. They also accept custom orders.

TWINS

New 35mm toy twin-reflex camera, the blackbird, fly by Superheadz of Japan. Sweet feature: without the film mask(s), your image will expose into the film perforations.Available at ICP.

MOMMA

My mother's house flooded a few months back; the insurance company lists it as a "catastrophic event". In the midst of demolition and going through family antiques, photographs, clothing, etc trying to decide what could be salvaged, she had to complete a huge grant for Washington State Department of Health. Needless to say, I think she could use one of hello!Lucky's cute new mother's day letterpress notecards... or maybe a few. Good job on finishing your grant, Mom!

⌘DELETE

Yesterday we were tidying up the office. I kept saying "delete" instead of "trash" or "garbage"; I spend way to much time on the computer. (⌘Z) So, when I saw these over at swissmiss, I literally laughed out loud. Alt Ctrl Del pillow set by diffractionfiber; reminds me of the Quark claw.

SAT... SCORE

I would almost retake a standardized test for a set of these... Arper's catifa46.

SWEET SANS

What a cute typeface... Pauline by insigne available at MyFonts.

PRIVATE RESIDENCE

I always find it interesting to see what a designer creates for his/her own space. I could definitely live in the home of Honky's Christopher Dezille (Oakmead Road).

p.s. the flat appears to be available...

WOVEN

Digging these rugs over at Modern Dose.

COMFORTABLE CHIC

If you live in southern California, you are familiar with the sensibilities of d.Kruse. A masterful pairing of modern and traditional, old and new, d.Kruse spaces are comfortable, clean, sophisticated. Dee was kind enough to send over some images of a recent project that I adore; if I could ever afford a nearly-14,000-square-foot home, this would be it. Make sure to check out the remainder of the projects on the d.Kruse site.

BUNCO H2O

Jehna Nienhuis of the husband-wife duo NienStudios was so sweet to capture some amazing shots at the bunco party last week... wanted to give you a glimpse of the fun!
