Elizabowl in The James Dyson Competition

You may remember that we posted about a great new Louisiana Designer, Sarah O'Brien, who won 1st place at the International Housewares Association's annual student design competition last year for her flexible fruit bowl - Elizabowl . There was also an article in The New York Times about this great design!

Well, Sarah emailed me to say that she has entered an additional world wide competition- The James Dyson Competition! So please support a fellow designer and go vote for her! Voting ends next Monday and your vote would be greatly appreciated.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House

In this economy, I'm not sure how many people have $15M lying around, but if you do.... what a cool house to acquire. An original Frank Lloyd Wright is on the market-- The Ennis House in Los Angeles! Don't you just love how the house is filled with light?


Head on over to Christie's if you just happen to have a stash of cash!

Dancing Table

One of my favorites from the ICFF 2009, the Dancing Table by Joel Escalano. It is just beckoning for a party!

Tulips- My favorite!

Showcase your flowers with our cube tube vases. The linear form and silhouettes of tulips yield a chic, modern look and are an affordable choice. What a wonderful gift for your friends!

Working in the garden takes on a whole new meaning!

Wouldn't this be nice?! I think I would enjoy one of these from Office Pod. How about you?

Gracious Living

Just saw this room on Miss Gracious Living- What a great mix of pieces! Look at all of the subtle textures in the room- leather, Lucite, dark wood, light wood and soft textile pieces. And what artwork- it totally makes the room along with the beautiful chandelier.

The Walking Gallery

I received an email from Francine Oeyen inviting me to take a look at her artwork. What a wonderful project she has initiated, it is called "Be My Walking Gallery". She creates miniature, hand-painted canvases adapted to rings, earrings, pins and hair barrettes which are made of wood, cloth and silver. Each piece is unique and created by the artist herself in Argentina.

Her wish is to have her paintings travel around the world representing a part of herself that detaches and walks around when other people become her walking gallery. She asks that you "Have my paintings. Walk around in them, take them off the wall, show them to the world. Turn my images into part of your image, be my walking gallery."

Take a look at some of her lovelies:

(I love this one as I love anything to do with nature!)

See more of her items at her etsy shop or visit her blog BeMyWalkingGallery to see where her pieces are traveling. Her own website will be up soon.


Thank you so much Francine for sharing with us!

Be Mine

Valentine's Day is only 12 days away! I love simple floral arrangements- preferably with just one type of flower and presented in a striking vase. I don't think anything says romance like flowers! This clean lined vase allows the flowers to get the attention they deserve. It is the Fluvio vase from 18K and is available for purchase online right here. What's more, when you tire of the flowers you can pop in a candle and still have admiration for the beauty of the ceramic glassware.

Hooked on Birch

Gold Birch Vases just came in and I am hooked. They are Bold and Beautiful and what a statement! I'm loving them!

To see more "Hooked On" - visit Hooked on Houses as others share what they are liking this week!

India Flint - EcoPrint

India Flint is from Australia and is a modern day pioneer woman! She creates the most beautiful material using a fabric dyeing process that she developed called the EcoPrint. She uses small quantities of plant material which comes from her farm and the cloth is woven from the wool of her own flock of sheep! She uses a water based method of applying the plant coloring to the cloth in a recycled dye-bath. What a resourceful young woman! Aren't her fabrics wonderful?

Global Views accessories available at Neutral Dwelling

I've recently added Global Views as one of the lines carried in the shop. Don't you just love these new ceramic birch vases and bowls?

E18HTEEN KARAT

What's Black and White and makes you feel good all over?
The Vitri vases and Talea candleholders from the Tafoni collection of 18Karat.


This is a picture that I snapped of the candleholders in the 18Karat showroom in Las Vegas. Don't they look stunning?!


Here are they are paired with Vitri Glass Vases. Now, in the words of James Brown, "I feel good!" (I hear you singing that!)

Stop by the shop and take a look here and here. These make a great gift! (for yourself of course!)

Natural Christmas Ornaments from Roost

The shopping season has begun. Stop by and see our new Christmas ornaments from one of our favorite sources ROOST! These are handcrafted of natural materials and each little animal is just so cute. The Woodland set of 6 includes a fox, hedgehog, skunk, squirrel, raccoon and chipmunk. The Penguin is a set of 5 each in a unique pose. They look terrific hanging from your tree or decorating your mantel. You can purchase them here.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

This is one of the coolest restaurants! It is Bella Italia which is a wine store as well as a restaurant. It was designed by Ippolito Fleitz Group. How thrilling to see all of the mirrors- both used and new that have been hung (securely screwed) on the ceiling. I also love the mix matched chairs used as a color splash.





This is definitely on my list of places to visit in Germany. Has anyone experienced the interior in person? I would love to hear if it evokes the same exciting feeling in person as in the photographs.
