anthropologielanterns

I LOVE these new lanterns from anthropologie. I only wish they were a little bigger (the white rectangular one is only 3″ wide). But, for $15-20 each, you could get a few!

ikea

Edholm Ullenius does some nice things with pattern, which you’ve probably seen at ikea, like these little table lamps above.  This would make a great DIY weekend project by the way…hmm…

dedeceplus

On the website this de de ce + vase is described as being “four vases in one.” So, I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I like it anyway.

I LOVED the most recent issue of Inside Out magazine, and I am hooked. Unfortunately, it cost would cost me an arm and a leg to subscribe since they are an Australian publication, but rest assured I will always be hitting up Barnes and Noble to check out their new issues. Above, pillowcases, teatowels, aprons, and more from Third Drawer Down in Australia (via Inside Out of course).

paste magazine redesign

Oh where to begin with the Paste Magazine redesign. This is the first time Paste has done a redesign since it’s inception in 2002, and I absolutely love it. I read that the design firm who did it was Metalcap Design, but frustratingly, I was unable to find a web presence for Metalcap. (If you were the designer for Paste, wouldn’t you have a website to brag about how awesome you were?! Am I missing something?) Well, anyway, if you aren’t into music you ought to pick up an issue just for the color palette (on the right). I guess we can look forward to a redesign of Paste’s website as well.

*UPDATE* Hey thanks, Andrew Parker!  It’s Metaleap design who works with Paste, and you can check out their portfolio here.

There is a ton of eye candy on Bernabei Freeman’s website. And I mean a ton. Clockwise, award winning Totem lights, lace pendant, leaf pendants, and crisscross lights.

My awesome boyfriend got me the card on the right for my birthday! I love when I get a card that is nice enough to frame. It’s made of “eco-friendly wood” (not sure what that means) but it is gorgeous. See more at night owl paper goods.

delish

After a lot of deliberation, and a lot of help (thanks Bren & Lauren!) I’ve decided to change delish’s name to mint. I hope you like the new name! I’m not sure that I’m settled on the banner yet, so it will remain a work in progress.  The web address is also a work in progress but I will let you know when the new url is available.
