Tasty Tidbits
I am totally sick of the Big Blank Wall in my kitchen/stairway. This thingy at Hobby Lobby (lots of thingies there) inspired me. I have plans now. Interesting how one solitary thingy can get the creative ball rolling, isn’t it? I’ll post pics when I’m done. Might be awhile. This idea is BIG.
I. Love. This.
Denver Art Museum. Neo-classical Chaise Lounge, circa 1810. I could find a place for it in my house, just give me a minute. Isn’t that color delicious?
Coolness
I went to the Denver Modernism Show the other day. Cool stuff. I don’t really consider myself to have mid-century taste, but I’ve been told by a few that my designs favor that era. And I am drawn to the textiles, at least artistically. So I thought I’d go check it out. I enjoyed perusing the different booths of stuff from the 50′s and 60′s, wondering if I could sell stencils there next year. I was taking mental notes about booths and how they’re set up, and I found this picture. It made me wonder if I could make that curly design into a stencil… I’ll bet I could!
It’s Coming!
Letterpress Exhibition! In Denver!
I am super excited about this! If you are so inclined, please help out. I’d love to see this happen. Go!
‘S Wonderful
I am always honored when another surface designer follows me on Twitter, especially someone like Khristian A. Howell. Her work is gorgeous! I am so inspired! I have added her to the list on the right. She also has a great blog, Parapluies Et Soleil (“Umbrellas and Sun”). I do hope you’ll check her out.
Through True Up, a great blog about fabric and patterns, I found Patty Young’s blog, Modkid Boutique. She is a pattern designer I have admired for awhile now, and is mentioned in True Up’s post about Michael Miller‘s designers at the Fall Quilt Market. I stumbled onto Patty’s work late one night, forgetting both her name and her company (doh!), but completely in love with her work. This morning I was delighted to stumble on it again. (And have officially bookmarked it.) I love her color combinations and fabric collections. I do believe her Andalucia collection is my favorite.
Echino
Just stumbled upon Echino, a textile designer from Japan. I’ve always loved Japanese textiles, and her work is so fun to look at. Feeling inspired, this Monday morning.
My Latest Crush
I am completely infatuated with this room, especially that chandelier. [swoon!]

Dragon Sink
I went to a silent auction last week for Take 2 Denver, held at Caruso Kitchens. The event was gorgeous, and I sure didn’t mind wandering amongst all the kitchen ensembles they have on their showroom floor.
My favorite piece was “Dragon” by Linkasink.
The detail is beautiful:
Clicking around Linkasink this morning was just delicious. Look at their sinks! Their Smithsonian collection is my favorite.
