Loving this upcycled suitcase chair... I've got to try this.  Thanks inhabitat!

Thanks Etsy!

I was really excited to get an email from Christine that I'd be in Etsy's "Get the Look" series on the blog. It's always a wild ride when this happens... tons of things to box and ship (which is great!) and everything feels as if it's happening at once. Geesh! I can't imagine when it happens to handcrafters... if you suddenly had TONS of orders for custom pieces, I'd imagine it would get really stressful and crazy! And, thanks for the blog love! From 8-31 to 9-9 I'm offering a 15% discount in the shop for anyone who becomes a blog follower. Just enter the coupon code "bloglove" and, of course, sign up to follow me here. Also, some upcoming contests and giveaways!

Alligator Gator...

Some lovely gator goodness from Emily Hse, a Taiwanese multimedia designer. Visit her on flickr here, oh, and beg her to put her gator scarves on etsy...

Found: kitsch paintings

The lovely creations of Canadian painter Janet Hill are after my heart!

Wold's World

They're sort of like what would happen if Dr. Seuss had been a furniture designer instead of a children's book author. I don't know Thomas Wold, but I picture him at rummage sales and thrift shops rooting around for the perfect wood furnishings to paint and put together... coming up with amazing color schemes. You rock, Thomas Wold!

Some inspirations from Casper James

Casper James had me at "living room," this living room to be exact. Maybe it was meant to be, me and Casper being contacts on flickr. Perhaps it was pre-written in the cosmos. But, oooh! every time I look through my favorites I'm drawn to this image:
