This editorial story was featured in the August 2011 issue of the Japanese men’s fashion magazine, Huge.

I have no idea what the context of the story is (since it’s in Japanese), but so many inspiring visual moments going on! Love the moody lighting. Makes me think of a cool weekend morning… which I wish it was right now. (photos by Yasuyuki Takaki / styling by Fumiko Sakuhara)

Nice shelving inspiration featured in the September 2011 Better Homes and Gardens. I like the modern/minimal construction, but it’s that pop yellow that really makes it a stand out. Also like how it’s against a light tan wall, (love the integration of the artwork in white frames into the mix of books and accessories- adds some nice contrast and gives your eye some places to focus).

haaaay… hope you’re having a great weekend!

I have no idea why this is stuck in my head this morning. but it is. and now it’ll be stuck in yours. apologies.

TGIF kids! I have a bunch of things to post, but this week has been crazy and I’ve still got a bunch of stuff to finish before I can call it a day! (whew!) This awesome print by Lizzy Stewart is totally going to be the theme for my weekend, and I wish it for you all as well! (image via Lizzy Stewart)

Pretty (mechanical) pencils at Crate & Barrel. And just for fun, Core 77 posted this the other day. Zone out for a few minutes and prepare to be fascinated!

A nice mix of soft and saturated colors that make for sexy combinations! It’s definitely giving me an updated 1930′s-inspired feel!

Also, totally loving the black “bead” stool by Hive in the last image.

I really appreciated the wall mural graphics on the backside of the Pendelton building in Portland. Could be nice inspiration to liven up a patio? Loved the color combination.
