Weeks and weeks

Well folks,

I'm finally updating this dang thing. I know it LOOKS like I haven't updated in over a year, but I actually updated not-too-long ago, but deleted it because the post was a bit unprofessional. Now, it doesn't matter (as much) because I am FINALLY gainfully

employed! LET'S HAVE A PARTY.

You KNOW Elvis knew how to throw a good party.

I'd have a party on these glorious purple stairs:

Nevermind the danger. I'd tumble down and do a dance on that BALLER coffee table.

via the lovely Erin on design crisis.

I'd serve appetizers, like maybe some southwest eggrolls or some JELL-O shots on this table:

You'd eat off it, right? Me, too. I think I'd sleep on it.

via design-milk.

I'd be sure to invite David Bowie-Ben Franklin, because what would a party be without lightning bolts and C-Notes?

Lame, that's what. Also via design-milk.

Then, after the party, we'd have to have another, more chill party. Because nobody would want it to end.

Everybody loves sandwiches. (Me especially.) via nostalgie de la boue.

That's all, y'all!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...

MHM AND HUH ARE THE NEW OHH AND YEAH.

If you haven't been over to Got Wisdom, you should check it out RIGHT NOW.

First up, check out Pavlov Visuals and their SICK collection of t-shirt designs. Here are some of my faves:



































I have no idea who Meg & Dia are, but I like this shirt!





































Dude, seriously, get on over to their website and check out the designs. There are too many awesome ones to count!

I also find it hilarious that their tagline is "design it real good." Now that's what I'm talkin' about. via design work life.


Next, check it out y'all! It's the PASTA FORK! Say whaaaaat?







It looks very terrifying, yet effective, no?













via design for mankind.


Also, you should check out this awesome post on some fabulously decorated off-beat houses over on Design Crisis. I am wild 'n' crazy over this room in particular:





























WHaaaAAtt? I think that room is the equivalent to how I feel when I listen to or look at John Mayer. A little too happy, if you catch my drift.


Next up, I stumbled upon this collection of celebrity photography from Art Streiber, an LA-based freelance entertainment photographer. Some of these portraits are siiicck!


















mmmm... yes, Ryan Reynolds.


















Jason Statham.


















Jodie Foster


There's so much more! Go look!!!


I'd better get going. Have a good one!

Turn my stupid question marks into simple candy canes

Hiiiiiii!

First I'd like to apologize for neglecting y'all while I was on Spring Break. I tried to update, I swear, but I was on Chrome and it's a bitch to upload pics with it. Try it sometime. Anyway, I tried for like 5 seconds and gave up. Boooo.

First up is this crazy video from Pleix films. They have some truly bizarre videos on there, but this was my favorite. E-Baby and Pleix Blog were some other cool ones. via design crisis.

I thought this was too cool:

I am all about incorporating tree motifs into interior design - especially something this cool! Things like this house in Austin, TX, however, I do not want:




















Erin over at design crisis had the
pleasurehorror of touring this house last November.

"There is a TREE in the middle of the house — in the kitchen, for goodness sake, which is somehow even more offensive... Whoever built this patchwork piece of shit house built it out of plywood, cardboard and duct tape. The roof leaked all around the hole where the tree is, and a foundation was laid over the tree roots. Not good planning.

Plus it looks like sandworms from Beetlejuice are attacking the exterior of the home, and nobody wants that."

Hopefully some DIY-crazed lumberjack happens across that house and helps get its shit together. His darling, yet no-nonsense wife can redecorate and make it shabby-chic! Dunno what they're gonna do about the poltergeists, though. Maybe they will be very religious people and can perform an exorcism!

Yeeeaaahh! Man oh man, that post cracks me up EVERY SINGLE TIME. Click here to check it out!


This blog, Facedowns, is cracking me up.










Also, this shirt is just cracking me up:

So how was that for a blog post? Pretty adequate, I'd say. Yesssss.

Later!

Hallo, spaceboy

There has been some rad stuff on the internets the past few days (they tend to stack up when you neglect to update your blog for a couple days...)

Anyway, get ready for some real cool shit.

First up, I just gotta post this because it blew my mindz. Erin of Design Crisis did a fantastic post today about rooms inspired by the mod artist Roy Lichtenstein. Click that big-ass link and feast with your eyes.



















Next up I am freaking LOVING this type treatment genius via Friends of Type. I think I first saw this yesterday and each time I brought it back up my heart palpitated a bit.














Now ya'll should check out this crazy technological-free-hand-sketch-created furniture, realized through rapid prototyping by Front design studio.



UM, WHAT?

That's it for now, ya'll. I'm ready for some R&R, and by that I mean tons of paper writing. YAY.

Lend me some suga' - I am your neighbor!

Hello all!

I'm super stoked today because I got some link love over on Love.Obsess.Inspire. So to any of you who came to visit from over yonder, a big hello!

Today, I've been particularly inspired by spaces. These ones in particular:
















Via design crisis, there's this little farmhouse in the Catskills. Check out the rest of the space by following the link, but this room had my mind reeling. I love it and am put off by it at the same time. I love the bright-yellow spaces on the walls. I love that stove. I love that there's a bed crammed in the corner, and I love that chair, even though there's something medieval-torture-chambery about it to me. Something I don't like? Those mirrors. They make me shiver. I don't know why. I suppose I don't like reflective surfaces in calming spaces, maybe.
















This and the next photo (from desire to inspire) I think I'm drawn to because of the stairs. I'm fascinated by stairways, particularly odd, modern stairways. I love the lines in this photograph. I love that there's a bookshelf, and I like that I'm peeking into a completely different space full of life up above.


























Here again - stairs, books, and wood. Did I mention I'm crazy about wood? It's probably due to my being brought up with a mom obsessed with antiques and an appreciation for expertly-crafted Amish furniture. That chair is blowing my mind and poking at my deepest nightmares, but I love it. I love the weird symmetry of the stairs, too. See what I mean? Wowza.

Oh, so check this out.






























MORE STAIRS! But not just any stairs, EMO-RAINBOW stairs via notcot! They have the best stuff over in Europe, I swear. I wish I knew more German so I could decipher which emotion belonged to which color, etc. Speaking of inspiring stairs I want to climb, have you seen those awesome Swedish piano stairs? I mentioned them in this post a bit ago.

Lastly, what do ya'll think about this? I like Imogen Heap somewhat, but I have mixed feelings about it. Makes you view the lyrics and purpose of the song differently, eh? Tell me what you think, por favor!



Later!
