Some boys romance, some boys slow dance

Hi all!

I've got a few cool things to show y'all today.

Isn't this just a smart room? Look at that. Mmmhmm!





























via decor 8.

...HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THIS THING. A thing of beauty...































One day, when I have my own place, I will own something similar to this. I swear to it. via apartment therapy.

I bet I could throw a KILLER party at this place...
















Is that not a perfect party-deck? also via apartment therapy.


Next up, check out these crazy ribbon stairs. Terrifying, no?




























I'd be trippin' all over the place. via here.


Next up, this video kind of blew my mind. It just keeps getting cooler.

That's all for today, folks! Have a good one!

Oh no you di'int!

Holy cattle, my google reader is bursting at the e-seams!

Here on In Other Skies, we (and by "we" I mean "I" because I am the single, lazy contributor) try to maintain a level of quality and class. We can only speculate as to whether we've achieved both of those. What we CAN tell you, however, is that we will be posting more frequently, like back in the good ol' days a few months ago when there were like 4 posts a week. So GOOD NEWS... I have sooo much crap I want to show ya'll that there might even be some weekend posts for you to look forward to. GOODIE!

Ok, so first up... hmm... let me decide...

How about some sweet illustrations from artist Carolina Melis?

I can't remember where I saw this and my search came up empty, so just deal with it.

Anyway, she does some impressive embroidery and animation as well.



Love that little deer.

Next, I loooveee this picture from over at apartment 34. What a unique photo shoot!
















I am wild 'n' crazy for that tree and all the shadows.

Next, this Indexed blog has me crackin' up. So clever.














Ultimately true, and good/bad depending on how you look at it. Wow, so profound.

Next up, I am really digging these spaces. All via desire to inspire.























Love the choice in colors, and the richness of like, every dang thing in the room.

These are all from this crazy brilliant entry featuring designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán. Wow, this guy's got some ideeaaaass.

















Remember when I said I had a "thing" for stairs (and ladders)?

That mirrored wall is blowing my miiinnd! Love the lines, love the colors, gah.





































Okay. Follow the link to that entry for the rest. I'm spent.

WHAT - WHEN DID JOHNATHAN RHYS MEYERS LOOK LIKE THIS? AND WHY WASN'T I AWARE? Kind of creepy, I have to admit. But I ain't mad at the bod.

































I just caught a second wind there. If you're offended by the hips 'n' dips, just scroll back to the top for some legit, design-related bloggins.

Laterrrr

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!
