Redddddd This!

Lisbeth Zwerger is my favorite illustrator. She. Is. Amazing. Please buy all her books so she never stops. One of my favorites is her Wizard of Oz. There’s a full spread of the characters in a field of red poppies that is so beautiful and whimsical and strange. It makes me want to live in her books.

This photo is both hilarious, endearing, and cool from a featured nursery on Apartment Therapy. By the way, what is that bunny doing there?

Big, decorative letters seem to be a growing trend in interior design. You can get these letters everywhere now. The hardest part is really which letters to buy and what to spell. Suggestions anyone? Or should I just create an homage to this blog, M-I-S-M-A-T-C-H-E-R-I-E?

Fowl Friends

Even though the fall is creeping in and the mornings are freezing in my apartment, an (seemingly) invisible bird outside my window insists on waking me up instead of letting my usual alarm clock do its job. Don’t birds migrate south in cold weather? What happened to this guy and why did he get left behind? Maybe I’ll try to catch him and domesticate him. OR I’ll just look at these lovely curiosities on boxes from Lyndie Dourthe! Amazing!

Happy Rainbows

I am obsessed with these found objects put together by artists Gilles Cenazandotti and Thierry Lede with their Clear Art Planet project which aims to clean the world beaches. Once I had an interview at a super-cool design firm and someone had a huge wall of found objects just like this. Instantly jealous! It would take me a lifetime to put something together like this.
