As of this morning you can find me at one of my new contributor gigs over on Curbly! If you’re not familiar with the site, you really should be. It’s bursting at the seams with rad how-to projects, room inspiration, furniture, and so much more. Not to mention the great writers and community they’ve built up – top notch in my book! I hope you’ll stop by and see what I’m sharing from time to time.
PHOTO + RECIPE: First Look, Then Cook
Rice Krispies instead of white rice, fruit leather instead of nori, swedish fish instead of the real thing. I love the idea behind candy sushi.
Last Saturday I was out and about and decided to reward myself (more on that later) with a new watch. The Nixon Time Teller P to be exact, my watch brand of choice. I bought my first as a 24th birthday gift to myself, an awesome skinny-strapped black leather double wrap with a rectangular electric blue face that they sadly no longer make. Shortly thereafter I stopped wearing a watch altogether because I was tired of it banging against my desk while I designed. But when I saw this shocking pink beauty with a silicone everything I knew I’d struck gold. It’s a men’s watch, which I prefer and comes in a great array of bright monotones. The thing is, I wonder if I’ll ever be able to get used to looking at my wrist for the time ever again…
If you follow designcrush on Twitter you may have noticed me freaking out about some great opportunities a few weeks back. Well, here’s the first… starting this month I’ll a featured contributor on Houzz. I’ll be building ideabooks based around a particular theme each time, my focus for June is on cocktail tables. If you ever want to see the latest, you can just click on the widget at the bottom of the sponsors column. Houzz is full of tons of other fantastic ideas and inspiration for you home besides my ramblings, so if you get the chance take a peek and let me know what you think!
Drinks with “extras” in them – think mojitos, bloody marys, etc. – require a stirrer that’s sturdy. Not a wimpy little plastic thing or a precious spear of glass. These bamboo stirrers are serious and perfect for the job.
After seeing this gorgeous canvas camera strap from Roberu I’m beginning to think it might be time to replace the guitar strap one I’ve had on mine since college. PS: I’ll take the camera, too! (via Black*Eiffel)
en&is’s MegaPhone is both simple and genius. Using the age old method of amplifying sound through a cone, Enrico Bosa and Isabella Lovero have created this beautiful ceramic and wood piece for use as an iPhone speaker.
Summer calls for a good flask. One that says “I’m serious about my liquor, but this here’s for camping. In the park. At 10am. And this isn’t coffee.”
I ate virtually nothing other than raw fruits and vegetables last weekend – I get so excited when my counters and fridge are overflowing! Zucchini, lettuce, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and nectarines are crowding my shelves and counters and I got to thinking about how to put them to work. In summer I rarely turn on the stove, if I can help it. Here’s some of my inspiration.
