inspired

Just a few inspiration shots to help ease into the weekend. I absolutely adore the baby blue Eero Saarinen womb chair in the last photo and the "garage" typography on the wall in the photo below. 

Buy a womb chair at Design Within Reach or through Knoll

cabin fever...

I would if I lived in this place! There is mix of high-end pieces and off the shelf items from big box retailers. The look of the plywood is gorgeous and inexpensive, it also helps keep the place looking au naturale. Designed by Swedish architects PS Arkitektur.

Amazing color and subject matter.

I love the simplicity of this lock-set by Baldwin. The matte finish and the oversized rectilinear escutcheon plate add to the modernity of it. Buy it here.

What I like about Leah Giberson's paintings, is the simplicity in the subject being portrayed. I love the angles at which they are painted and also enjoy the color palette.

step, bump, step-bump-bump

Stairs are more than just vertical circulation through a space, they can provide a strong focal point to enhance your design concept. They can become sculptural elements throughout a space and can be a place of congregation for people.  Every step taken frames a different angle and view of space. Stairs increase our perception of verticality throughout a space and if designed well, will leave you with a lasting impression of the environment you were just in.
