Staring at: Cathy Scarlett

I love the strange simpleness of this painting from Cathy Scarlett's Etsy store.  From the white trunks of the trees, I'm going to guess that it's a painting of birches, of course birches don't have blue leaves, so it could just be a pretty painting.

Lounging on: Watusi Floor Cushion

After a long day of cooking, eating and cleaning up afterward, I think that this more grown up bean bag chair would be the perfect place to relax and nap.  It's called the Watusi Floor Cushion from Graham and Green, but it's really just a great excuse to have a bean bag chair again, but with a great print and better fabrics.

Loving: Beak

These Beak pitchers from perch! at Supermarket are really simple with a little pop of color at the bottom.  I love the random dots, and the colors are unusual, but go together perfectly.

Loving: Hana Media Stand

I love the cutout detail in this Hana media stand from Pier 1 Imports.  You can hide everything away, but the remote controls could probably still reach their recievers even with the doors closed.  And the design is subtle enough that you could have it in a room with a lot of other accessories, or you could let it stand alone.

Staring at: Forty-First and Fifth Ave.

I really want to live in one of the windows in this drawing from Erosner's Etsy shop.  It looks like a crazy apartment building in NYC that you would walk by and either see a bunch of zoo animals in the windows or a mad scientist's colorful explosions in other windows.  The name of it is Forty-First and Fifth Ave., maybe it really exists.

Loving: Cobra Lamp


I love the Cobra Lamp from Hive.  I think I would keep it in the more spherical shaped configuration.  It just looks more like a little globe of light.  Of course it's great that the light can be swiveled around to wherever you want it without being too obvious.

Loving: Glass Vases

These glass vases from Stille Ben Shop are all hand blown, so each on has a slightly different shape and are a little bit quirky.  And they have a really beautiful smoky color that makes them pop in a room instead of just fading in the background.
