Between me and my husband, we must have over a dozen cameras—holgas, point-and-shoot digitals, film SLR’s, vintage Brownies. So needless to say, I have a thing for cameras…
This makes me ask…what will our child’s first camera be? Found via Black Eiffel.
A totebag on your shoulder, flats on your feet, a floral sundress on your back and a camera around your neck. You’re a fashionista photog — so why cramp your style with the strap that just came in the box? And it has a great little pocket, perfect for film or memory cards. Available for sale at Photojojo.
I’ve come across this common thread in photographs lately, and, well, I just like them.
I’m not sure I could stand to live among walls like this, but I’m impressed that someone can. Found via Design Mom.
Yes, this is what you think it is: “By gum, it’s gum!” (Violet from Willy Wonka reference). Yes, this is pretty gross, and yet it’s rather beautiful too. Found via FFFound.
This restaurant has 600 butterfly portraits on display. It’s almost like wallpaper. Amazing. Found via You Are My Fave.
This weekend is all about baby room planning which is a bit overdue since I’m 9 weeks ’til d-day. It’s so fun to daydream…
How amazing is this structure? Crib, changing table, dresser, and cottage all in one! Found on Little Lovely.
For some reason I’m anti-vehicle and animal print for my boy’s wardrobe, but I’m in love with these two wallpapers! Found on Ferm Living.
We decided we want to do a daybed instead of a rocker/glider in the little guy’s room, but of course we want something totally amazing, vintage, and full of character. Sigh. Links from the top: Hooked on Houses, Ohdeedoh, and House to Home. Suggestions welcome in this category! Please!
Styling shelves is a real talent, but James Hopkins takes it to a new level. By arranging and cutting into things, Hopkins creates his Vanitas installations from related groupings of everyday objects.
Hopkins says of these pieces in a Wallpaper article: “I see these shelves as tombstones to the current, ephemeral era in design because, while they look quite luxurious and modern now, next year they will already begin to look dated.”
Each grouping is comprised of related objects, either by color or style. For example, in Shelf Life (top image), these are all items that would be found in a teenagers room, and point to the impermanence of objects and their persistence in memory. Other groupings include vintage objects or contemporary, design-forward items that Hopkins surrounds himself with.
It’s like making a painting on your bookcases (with a touch of social commentary). Baffling and amazing.
