So I came across a game-changer this morning on that wild and wonderful place called Pinterest. Just imagine how this picnic table / wine cooler / instant bar could improve your al fresco summer dining and help you become a better wino… The table pictured above was designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects but [...]
Most artists tend to think out of the box but this artist has gone back in the box– a sardine can to be exact. It’s safe to say Nathalie Alony enjoys working on a smaller scale and with her latest project, she’s created several series of miniature sculptures depicting anything from everyday life in little [...]
Any champagne drinkers out there? Here’s a little DIY project for you. Turn your left-over champagne wire cages into a collection of mini Parisian style café chairs! Why? Artist and blogger Becky Kazana (The Fab Miss B) suggests using them as place card holders for a charming touch to your dinner parties. The rest of [...]
Like many of you reading this article, Canadian artist Heather Benning has a fascination with the derelict and the abandoned. But when she found a crumbling old farmhouse in the rural setting of Saskatchewan, Canada, Heather decided not to walk away with just the memories of this sad old place, but to use her artistic [...]
Just something I stumbled upon recently that was too fun not to share … Painted Jeff Canham and woodworker Luke Bartels collaborated to make this series of “seedy” urban establishments in 2012, a collection they called “For the Birds”. I love the little tongue in cheek details written on each of the houses and they [...]
Perhaps you’ve splashed out on a shiny new camera and it will travel everywhere with you this summer (it better considering how much you spent on it), becoming a part of your look. But does Nikon or Canon written in giant letters need to become part of your look too? Bloom Theory is a wonderful [...]
Fulvio Bonavia is one of the advertising world’s favorite photographers and he’s just published his book ‘A Matter of Taste‘. Bringing together two worlds that definitely don’t go together; food & high fashion, Bonavia uses his awesome photoshop skills to create Louboutin boots made out of galettes and Balenciaga belts from angel hair pasta. It’s all a bit [...]
A little inspiration (ideas to steal) for those lucky enough to have al fresco spaces and looking to do a bit of sprucing up for summer. No matter what size your balcony/ patio / terrace is, take some notes for making your space as inviting as can be, even if there’s only room for you! [...]
In the evening, when the clock strikes 9 in the L’Empreinte lingerie boutique in Paris, a little lady that I’m pretty sure is Tinkerbell’s older, slightly saucier sister, has been making an appearance in a pair of lacy white knickers and matching bra. It’s become quite the attraction for late-night strollers on the Place Vendôme, [...]
No matter how much I like to deny it, I’m a sucker for romantic stuff like this. Sophie Blackall is an Australian artist living in New York who found the perfect inspiration for her drawings– the Craigslist Missed Connections page. Having never really been a user of Craigslist (which apparently means I’ve been living on [...]
