couch curtains

in case you don’t have enough space in your living room for a couch, this is a perfect solution.

chalkboard wall

i’ve had this idea in my mind for quite a while: if i have my own apartment or a house, i would paint my kitchen walls like a chalkboard. you know, that i could write down all my favorite recipes wherever i want. but, hmmm, the bedroom looks even better. from anthropologie’s july catalog via poppytalk.

green chicken

when i was a kid, my favorite toy (if you can call it a toy) was a rocking horse. i’m not a kid anymore, but i still like everything rocking and this jaime hayon’s chicken looks like a green dream came true. found via mankind mag.

a tiny victorian cottage

if you haven’t seen it at ny times today, check out this article about people who follow their dreams and make them come true. inside pictures are just gorgeous.

ps pelle, mikkel & gullspira

i like ikea. its not the best quality, but its always well designed and very affordable. but i really dont like to go to their stores. too big, too busy and too much… overwhelming. too bad, because i really really like those wall decorations created by hella jongerius. meet ps pelle, mikkel and gullspira.

favorite things

its for sure that i’m not the only one who is a big fan of scandinavian and asian style. both of them come from completely different sides of the world but have something in common. no wonder why chen karlsson, a collaboration of asian and swedish designers, distributes such nice homeware. i’m particular in love with favorite things pendant lamp. it will be released in august, but i started to think what i could put in it already.

eames hang it all

if you are interested in design, i’m pretty sure you are familiar with charles and ray eames and their hang it all. at least i’ve seen it in lots of design blogs. i’m really amazed by the simplicity and colorfulness of this piece meaning that it was designed in the early 50′s. the only thing which kinda bites is the price, but danielle thompson has good news for all the fans of the hang it all. she made her own version of it and was very kind to share a tutorial. sounds like a fun diy for the weekend.

fredflare

for a happy friday here are some trophies from fredflare, a shop based in brooklin. from the top left clockwise: dessert erasers, pick your nose party cups, ice cream lamp, cardboard buck jr. trophy.

cuckoo clock

i wish to have this stefan strumbel’s cuckoo clock on the wall of my apartment. well, i don’t have it, but karl lagerfeld does at his studio in paris. via the selby.

rabbit job

every time i see something like this rabbit job, i realize a child is still alive inside of me. you should also check out other things at studio ditte, they are a bit pricey, but very very inspiring.
