Oh Louise

Friends at Enormous Champion reminded me of artist, Louise Bourgeois's work. Best known as the founder of confessional art, she spent most of her time sculpting. She passed away in May and I wanted to share some of her textile pieces.

Finds at Sweet Bella

Sweet Bella offers a fun selection of products. They have paper slippers, stationary, retro phones, and tiles. These are a few of my favorite pieces.

Next Up - Nathan Nichols

One of the highlights of my recent vacation was visiting Nathan Nichols & Company. Nichols has been in Door County, Wisconsin since 2000. That's when he officially became THE local interior designer and go-to for beautiful home goods. Before moving North, Nichols was with Baker Furniture in Kohler, Wisconsin. If you ever have the chance to explore this historically design-rich town, I'd recommend it. I'd also guide you to visit his two stores, one in Ephraim and the flagship in Bailey's Harbor. Here's a peek inside.Decorating trend: I love these paperbacks stripped of their covers and backings and tied with leather cord. Whether they're stacked or grouped, they're eye catching.

Finns Impress at London Design Week

I love the Finns! Coolhunting reports that, "A pop-up restaurant and concept space dedicated to all things Finnish, Hel Yes! forges together the tastes and sights of Finland for a clever take on an exhibit during the London Design Festival. The boundary-pushing installation is the work of former HIM keyboard player Antto Melasniemi along with London-based Finns, Mia Wallenius and Klaus Haapaniemi. "

Lit Up at Lifestyle Bazaar

The lamps at Lifestyle Bazaar are worth a gander. My favorites are these lab inspired cork-topped pendants and the flowers lights.

Vintage Clocks

eBay might be the biggest time sucking website I know of. There are a million great things out there and these vintage clocks are so fun to browse through. Some work, some don't - either way they'd make sweet decorative pieces or collections.

Photographer Andrea Ferrari

Andrea Ferrari - hot name, hot talent. I love the spot of green in the scene she captured.

Modern Organization at Porro

The Italian company, Porro has a wonderful website that showcases several designers, a beautiful catalog of products for your home and news and videos from the international design scene. These pieces are just a fiew you will find there. I believe these are sculptural objects that add more than just function to a room. Enjoy!

Artist, Olivia Jeffries

I'm drawn to neutrals (if you haven't noticed yet). I'm also drawn to books. British artist Olivia Jeffries is a creative talent that I'd like to share with you today. She mainly draws, but she also has some delightful films and collages. The bulk of her work is done with pencil and gouache on recycled paperback pages or book covers.

Summer Fields

I miss the fruitful Midwest already. This summer field is captured by photographer Rhondal McKinney.
