Home envy from Dwell

ROOMS






I believe I first saw a snapshot of this home pop on in Pinterest and I was instantly glued to the rest of the home tour on Dwell.com. That Pinterest is one bad habit I tell ya. This mid-century gem of a home was featured on dwell and showcases everything I love about mid-century. The decor wasn’t over done, but perfectly pieced together. I’d say this home has the perfect combination of natural tones, wood textures, and bring pops of color.

Let me know when you stop drooling and we can get on with the rest of our lives.

recreate it / 03

COLLABORATIONS

This week’s recreate it takes us to RUE for inspiration. This particular spread from the magazine hits home for me, literally. The images on the left are taken from my favorite thrift store here in the Minneapolis area called Hunt & Gather. But beyond that, this spread gives a great insight into layering and making things funky. After all, Bri Emery – the head designer for RUE is famous for that. Give layering a chance, folks. You can come up with some pretty fun pieces!!

As usual, don’t forget to check out Cassie’s recreate it piece this week on moxee!

The LomoKino Super 35

PHOTOGRAPHY



I can’t tell if I just love the website, or if I feel like I need one of these babies to add to my camera collections. The Lomokino Super 35 is a Lomography movie camera that shoots short on 35mm film. AND you can buy the LomoKinoScope to watch your analogue movie! You can even bundle to two together and get both for $99. Can’t beat that. These babies are just so stinkin’ cute!

Visit the LomoKino Screening room to see what the camera is capable of and to watch a bunch of user submitted videos!

Add it to my wish list

ART & DESIGN



Last week while perusing my daily Fab.com deals I came across the prints of Safewalls.org. This month Safewalls is highlighting 3 spanish artists that have created original poster designs for Cirque du Soleil (a show I’ve yet to see!) This print called Corteo by Noria Mora is an abstract composition about trapeze wires, balloon from Corteo and the sun. How awesome is that?

The print is currently on sale, which means it’s been added to my holiday wish list. There are only 300 24″ x 36″ signed prints available so act fast. You can purchase HERE. You can also buy smaller sizes at Society6.

In Their Home // Vahan Vinoon

IN THEIR HOME






First thing I’m going to say about this blogger is WOW…she’s got her sh*t together. Her photography is gorgeous and her home is so simplistic, it’s making my jealousy meter explode. I really wish I could pair down the “stuff” I have laying around. Please stop by her blog, read her quality post, stare at her amazing photos, and dream about living in a simplistic/beautiful home. The white walls are calling my name. Adding painting on my list of things to do.

Stop by her BLOG here.

Portfolio NOW LIVE!

veda news

So this “scroll to the right” little baby has been in the works for a while now. I’ve been working out the kinks and I finally landed on something I’m really happy with. I’ll be adding projects along the way, so be sure to check back often.

If you aren’t aware that I’m also a freelance graphic designer, now you do. A portfolio site kind of makes it official, don’t ya think? Please contact me with any design questions or needs and let’s see if we can figure it out together. I specialize is branding, color theory, logo design, blog design, and really have a passion for traditional print media such a booklet design, invitations, posters & prints. If you’re interested in a design collaboration or sorts, I’d love to chat. Need a guest blogger while you’re on vaca…I’d down for that to.

Contact me with any questions you may have. Want to read more about me? Try here–>

Complete jealousy…

ROOMS






Oh man…where do I start. My dream home…hehe
All I have to say is the children of Kicki (Havtorn Design) are pretty darn lucky. Their summer playhouse is beyond magical and the 5 year old me would of loved to claim the space as my own.  Let’s just oooo & ahhhhh shall we?
