more importantly…

Ok, yes- this house has impeccable style, drool worthy colors, and is simply gorgeous- but really… what it all boils down to… they have a freaking awesome Star Wars Imperial Shuttle in the middle of everything!

‘Nuff said.

mundane aesthetic: May week end

Jon — Mon, 14 May 2012 21:57:24 +0000

I hope everyone had a great weekend (and for all you hot mammas, a wonderful Mother’s Day!) Here’s a few snaps I took last week via Instagram (find me @happymundane)- Lots of beautiful sun, yummy vietnamese bun, driving up and down PCH, checking out the marina area near Seaport Village in downtown SD, all with my trusty pal Pepé in tow. And have you had the new Lemon and Triple Ginger Snap ice cream at Trader Joes? O.M.G. OBSESSED! SOOOOO GOOD! Run. don’t walk. now. Anyway- wishing you all a productive week. It’s only 4 more days til it’s Friday again!

shop spot: dansk torq ashwood serveware and silhuet dinnerware

Spotted this display at Bloomingdales over the weekend and was loving the combination of the wood and white ceramic plates with blue floral design. Both are from Dansk. The wood bowls are part of the Torq Ashwood collection (love the extra thick edges), and the dinnerware is Silhuet. Sophisticated, modern, and the watercolor-y blue floral design has a coastal flair… (and they’re on sale!)

White + wood. Classic yet modern. It’s also the basis for the “fix” collection designed by Julia Treutiger for Sagaform. Love the herb pot and serving bowl (which comes with a lid that can double as a stand and even a cutting board.)

You can find Sagaform Fix pieces here and here.

mundane aesthetic: May days

Jon — Mon, 07 May 2012 19:35:02 +0000

Ever since returning from the last trip a few weeks ago, there’s been a whirlwind of activity. Consequently, I haven’t been able to blog as much (boo…), however, I’m finding I’m Instagram-ing a ton more. Aside from the addictive quality, Instagram really is tailor built for the “mundane aesthetic”- so I guess it’s a natural fit. If you’re on it- follow me there (username: @happymundane) as well as twitter (also @happymundane). If you’re not, you can also check out my latest pics via the little widget on the bottom right of this page. Btw, if you click on it, a window will pop up that will show the last few shots. If you’re not on Instagram, (WHY NOT?!! lol j/k) here’s a few of my favorite moments from over the past few days.
