THIS TABLE IS AWESOME.

The well balanced meal of Jenga blocks held up by a cluster of real helium balloons. Awesome. A job well done, Boys and Girls.

ROCAMBOLESC MAKES ME SCREAM!

For ice cream! That is. I stumbled upon this fantastic looking ice cream shop located in Girona, Spain.  Designed and executed by the talented Sandra Tarruella, the shop combines Willy Wonka's switchboard gadgets with a Dexter's Laboratory curiosity. I love it! I want to go here! I want to hit all the buttons! I just hope the ice cream is as good as the look of this place. Enjoy :)

More is More with Tony Duquette

With the sun shining and spirits roaring here today in sunny LA, I decided it could not be a better day to celebrate the life of famed designer and artist, Tony Duquette.

His design work was bold and elegant; textured yet harmonious.
Tony went on to design award winning costumes for cinema, jewelry lines, and interior furnishings inspired by the world around him.

...a champion as you can see.

I've been a very bad blogger lately, so in order to catch up with all of my finds in the simplest and most productive way, I'm posting a smorgasbord of design, art, and decor for your enjoyment.  Mainly because it would take me another 3 weeks to decide how I want to sort them.  Hope you enjoy!

Thinking green

I've been thinking a lot about going green.  Not just the whole "clean up our world" green, but I've been reading more about putting green and brown together for living spaces and creating an "interior-outdoors" if you will.  I'm constantly inspired by etsy.com, and I found this image that really hit on my thoughts of foliage and bark.

I've also been loving the idea of using pillows to create the different patterns of a room.  I found this image and thought it would be a funny idea if a character in a film, perhaps, had "too many pillows."





I used this effect in my room back in college, and when people would ask "why aren't there any pictures in your frames?" I told them it was 'open to interpretation' for them to decide.  They might have thought I was crazy, but I wasn't the only one...



I'm also liking the confusion and clutter that is happening in these photos.  I once read that in order to design a room, you don't necessarily need a design plan on specific palette, but if you are one to simply collect "neat looking things", you'll be able to compile a stunningly crafty room with what you have gathered.
