The Ideal

I recently came across this photo of a kitchen Thomas O'brien collaborated on  and I fell in love with the simplicity/ utilitarianism  of his design. How Fantastic would this be if you have a kitchen that you are less than thrilled with.  Take off your cabinet doors, add a similar light fixture (IKEA) and keep the color pallet monochromatic.  Its a simple, inexpensive fix. An Isamu Noguchi paper lantern hangs above the table.  The 1930s library table and chairs are by Alvar Aalto.  Photo Courtesy of Elle Decor . 

Follow me on instagram! I update daily (unlike here)... A new years resolution is to start back at this.... so be sure to stay tuned! 

Toro Y Moi Say That  this song makes me want to dance.... and that NEVER happens. perfect song for the summer...  go download it!  it's available on iTunes (yes I still pay for my music and you should too!)

I've been admiring this mural for a few week now.  How beautiful would this be in a power room?  At only $298 its a lot of bang for your buck... and its a paste-free installation! ...

I am currently obsessing over the Anatolia collection from John Robshaw. "John often experiments with traditional design in new techniques. These pillows are hand painted on heavy jute fabric to evoke the rustic quality of Turkish felts."  ...
