When I got home I did a little research and the Benjamin Moore website does indeed say “This classic, elegant gray confers a sense of spaciousness that [...]

I happened to spot these FLUX chairs online and thought what a great idea. They are light weight chairs that fold up and can be stored away or carried as needed. They come in great colors and can be seen here. “Flux is what happens when good design meets flexibility. Taking its cue from the [...]

Are You Hungry For Some Color?

Linda Holt — Tue, 01 May 2012 19:51:45 +0000

When I was in Los Angeles studying with color Guru Leatrice Eiseman there was another student who came all the way from San Paulo, Brazil. She was a Le Cordon Bleu trained pastry chef who was studying color trends so that she could apply them to her pastries. Now I’ve always thought anything to do [...]

It originally started as a prank in 2004 in the Netherlands and although still technically illegal in most cities, Yarn Bomb artists are rarely prosecuted. Unlike paint graffiti, Yarn [...]

Continuing last Friday’s theme of questionable design choices. Today’s photo comes from Restoration Hardware’s new “deconstructed” furniture line. I don’t know about you but I can’t wrap my head around spending $2,545.00 for a sofa that looks like something you stole from the upholster before they started to work on it. So I ask you [...]
