Delight in the details: The Hundley's magnificent mess

Marc and Ian HundleyOn my daily scroll through Apartment Therapy I saw the wonderful post about a blog called The Selby.
The latest addition there is a post about Ian and Marc Hundley's magnificent mess. They are artists in Brooklyn and somehow their living space falls together seemingly by accident. I think the neutral base of white, pale blue and rich browns work, as well as all the natural light.
What I really enjoy though, are the little details like this old rusty razor and tin (?) cut out birds and tree balanced on the frame. It is the sort of interior I would love to poke around in.
Thanks for sharing The Selby, check out Marc and Ian Hundley - Artists at home.

A circle of life for your coffee table

When I move into my new apartment next month I will need to bring something fresh and green. Currently my outlook is onto tall trees and shrubs but my new place, despite having a very large balcony, mostly looks on to the car park below (sounds bad, but I do get a lot of blue sky!)
Factory circle, could be the fresh green solution that I have been looking for, and the prefect size to sit comfortably on my coffee or dining table.
I think the Japanese website, style-pd.com, explains it best:
It is an image of cutting out wide grassland and set in the room. A frame of planter holds grass and gives new impression. Enjoy seeding and to see sprouting and growing in the planter.
House warming present anyone? Check out Factory circle.

Miss Jones' delightful snowy swallow

Happily perched on a votive sits a snowy white bone china swallow, all set to take a joyful flight around the room. I love the way she cocks her head, listening in.
Have You Met Mrs Jones have some wonderful and whimsical items of beauty from angel wings and antlers to chandeliers, cushions and organic pottery.
Check out more of what Mrs Jones has to offer. You'll be delighted.

Sleeping with the fishes: Stylish and perfectly orange

Pescado PillowI went through a phase about 10 or so years ago of loving images of fish. I drew them, collected them, sculpted them and generally surrounded myself with them. I'm not sure what it was, part was the details: scales, fins, gills etc and also their other-worldly familiarity.
I got over the fish-phase but this cushion, Pescado Pillow by Z Gallerie, could very nearly plunge me back into it. It's true, I am going through more of the-colour-orange thing now, so, in a way, this cushion combines my past and present. Besides, it would look so great with my other cushions (here and here).
Check out Pescado Pillow for yourself.
