If you know me at all you know I am not a fan of warm weather. Give me a pair of jeans, a hoodie and a high of 65 I would be set for life. I do however love the changing of the seasons, spring included. That time of year when the colors come back [...]
I’m so amazed when people just completely redesign the way we look at something. When you think clock you either see in your mind digital flashing numbers, or a circle with two or three long sticks that rotate around the circle. If you want to be different and extraordinary you need an Aspiral clock handmade [...]
Check out this prototype for a built in wall extension cord, the rambler socket. A great concept designed by Meysam Movahedi. Reminds me a little of the wrap around hose caddy we used to have in the backyard. I really just love this idea, simple and uncluttered.
The work of Cecilia Galluccio is in a word, stunning. I love seeing a traditional craft taken to a whole new level with a modern design sense. Cecilia markets her work under the moniker of Burned Furniture but these are pieces that will become instant heirlooms. She burns each of her designs freehand into the [...]

Stunning. I’m in love with this clock by Japanese designer Takuya Oi. The layers that combine to make an almost shadowbox effect leave me speechless. I always love seeing other work done by designers working with lasers. I find it inspiring and almost pushes me to keep creating. This clock is available at MollaSpace.
I hope everyone had a safe ad happy holiday. Perhaps while you with family and friends this weekend you used some of those whine glass charms around the base of your glass, so as not to accidentally pick up someone else’s drink. I’ve always loved the idea of drink markers but never really been a [...]
If you read the blog often you know that I also have a line of homegoods and other fun things called Peppersprouts. The last year I have been selling my wares on Etsy while dreaming of a site of my own. I’m so happy to share with you the brand new peppersprouts website. I’m really [...]
I love raw wood. So I’m pretty jealous of those of you in the UK because you wood (bad pun) be a fool to not order these blonde wood decorative logs from The Log Basket. Made from douglas FIr these wood logs would look amazing lining an unused fireplace, or sitting inside an unused shelf. [...]
