Re-flex The Politics of Dancing by Celtiemama

Some beautiful hand made ceramics happening over at Anthropologie. Inspired by these soft blues, greens and violet tones. The cups and bowls in the middle and bottom image are done by Daniel Bellow. Check out more of his work here. (paint can ice bucket/pinched corners mug/pinched corners tea bowl) All images via Anthropologie

Great graphic collections from mini moderns. Love the low proportion of the cups! Check out more here. (their wallpapers are pretty amazing too!)

Well my friends, summer is officially over. How did this happen?! Even though it never really gets that cold here in So Cal, I do have to admit I am excited about being able to bust out some “Fall” clothes, and it also means holiday season is coming up! woo hoo! Anyway- happy weekend, and here’s just a few amazing things:

• 1) This bottle opener is totally “fang”-tastic!”…… heh.      heh….   (available here)

• 2) For any all you Angelenos out there, Mid-century modern enthusiasts shall rejoice as it’s the annual Modernica factory warehouse sale!! Next Saturday, October 1, 2011 marks the special occasion. Great deals – 20-80% off! All the deets here.

• 3) I love this color combo- adding neon yellow laces to your natural suede chukkas. Need to do this. now. (via)

• 4) If I had an iphone4- (sigh… eagerly anticipating the new iphone 4s/5 release!) these new “terra nova” covers by Poketo would be quite necessary. Geo-faceted awesomeness.

Inspired by these one-of-a-kind lamps from etsy seller, Earth Sea Warrior. Love the combination of vintage with the neon cords! Check out more unique items at their shop here.

As the song goes: “these are a few of my favorite things…” wood + glass + ceramic loveliness by Piad Design. (via)

I don’t normally associate the color “pink” with “rustic”, but the mix of the bright textured walls with all the weathered wood is really working for me. I especially love the simple and clean tonal shelving that is flush to the corner! Keeps it really modern. This image is a little peek into the amazing home of iconic architect/designer Luis Barragan. Oh, and by the way, this is circa 1979!… which is so… now?

There’s a new book coming out at the end of next month about Luis Barragan’s house- appropriately titled Luis Barragán: His House. Can.not.wait. to check it out!
