Interior of the Week
Design*Sponge offered a sneak peek of Jen Mankins' adorable home in Brooklyn last May. As the owner of Bird she offers an eclectic sense of style and lots of color.
I love the coziness of the egg chair and the mix of all the patterns.
(I'm also envious of her fantastic record collection.)
I love libraries and this modern take of organizing by color really adds cohesion and pop to their dining room.
This apartment is so delightfully personalized, it really shows how to incorporate your style and travels into your decor.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I was trying to find a picture of Julia Child with a turkey but instead all I found was this picture of her with a goose...
Oh well, Happy Thanksgiving!

Wool and the Gang
These knitting kits from Wool and the Gang are so cool. I've been teaching myself to knit and these kits come with everything, the yarn, needles, pattern, etc. What a fantastic (albeit expensive) way to practice a bigger project, like a sweater, or to learn new stitches.

New Zealand-born designer, Karen Walker, celebrates the anti-It-girl and her pieces definitely make a statement...

Interior of the Week
Although minimalism has its advantages, there is much to be said for excess.
Peter Durham has an eclectic style and brings his background in France, Spain, and New York City to his 1920's Spanish home in Los Angeles.
I adore the collection of art that really allows the room to have personality. The couch looks so inviting and the mix of patterns is bright and modern, with a vintage twist.
This is a room that looks personal and warm, and I think that's the real point of design.

North Dakota
I don't really have anything to post today, but looking through old photos I found this picture that my brother took on a family vacation to North Dakota in 2002.
(It may look like 1973, but it was 2002.)

Interior of the Week
This room is so whimsical and divine. I am a huge fan of so many things in this room: the canopy bed, the zigzag rug, and the botanical wallpaper.
The pops of blue add freshness to the space and the curtains are gorgeous. I also love that the symmetry of the lamps and the small tables ground all the prints. This Miles Redd room definitely shows the way to maximize the punch in a small room.

tastesorangey on Etsy
Looking through Creature Comforts fantastic Gifted Magazine, I came across an interview with Papersnitch blogger Brittni Mehlhoff. She suggested these prints from tastesorangey as holiday gifts and I agree wholeheartedly.
(The image is printed and then sewn onto watercolor paper, such a sweet touch.)

Carrie Saxl
I came across Carrie Saxl's work on Gilt Groupe, where I bought a shadow necklace for graduation. Lately I'm loving this feather necklace, it has such a delicate toughness.

I have been known to swoon over anything "Modern" and this room has it all, from the Platner coffee table to the Saarinen dining table...
I love that although the furniture is time period specific, the space feels fresh and modern with the infusion of color. The patterned fabric on those chairs is amazing and if you look closely the door adds a pop of yellow (adorable.)

This view of Moises Esquenazi's Rancho Mirage in California shows not only another classic, Le Corbusier's LC4 chaise, but a serene and inviting patio. I could definitely handle living in this space.

Jupiter
This Jupiter scrap light reminds me of architecture school.
I do love cardboard, it is entirely underrated.
P.S. More cardboard fixtures.
