We like when two previous trends combine to create a forceful trend that will probably be short-lived but quite delightful while it exists. Owls have been in favor in interiors before, and recently all we’ve been seeing lately in spaces is small and powerful pops of bright, neon colors. So — Continue reading
Artist Dave Murray has latched on to the whole triangle/geometry trend pulsating throughout fashion and interiors lately, but he’s done it in a pretty fresh way. We like how some of his polygon portraits are real simple, and almost featureless, where others show a great likeness to their subject. It’s — Continue reading
Taken from Architizer: “The owners of this small, 1940’s waterfront shack approached Studio Twenty Seven Architecture with a desire for renovations to improve the livability of their weekend getaway. The existing home was dank and in extremely poor condition. In addition, the shack did not take advantage of the available — Continue reading
Now we don’t have any sort of hard evidence on the matter, but it seems to us–at least unofficially–that of all the types of furniture out there, of Mid-Century Modern designs, there seems to be a lot of coffee tables available. Simple or complex, the fact is that not many — Continue reading

The lovely designs on cloth coming 0ut of San Francisco-based Etsy store STUDIOPATRO are soothing our weary soul right now.

Just like the restaurant Perla’s in Austin we featured a couple of weeks ago, River Cafe in London features a similarly cheery, summery color palette of blues and yellows that pop and sizzle off of each other to create a cool, crisp demeanor. We like the metallic and clear elements — Continue reading

We love a little movement, sass, play and 3D to an outfit, and like it even more if it’s in our interiors. Not everything has to be so serious and stoic all the time, as these dresses we’ve spotted on Mod Cloth and these pillows from cushlab prove. What do — Continue reading
