Tuesday, September 18, 2012 at 6:02PM Ania Pauser was recently selected as the "Young designer of the year" by Plaza Magazine for her gorgeous laser cut pendant lamps made out of aero plywood and paper. The jury's comment: "Ania Pausers lamp in laser-cut wood is like something straight out of Arabian Nights - fabulous!"... I couldn't agree more. They look like they came straight out of a Moroccan dream!
Monday, September 17, 2012 at 7:14PM I don't know what it is, but I've been so terribly unorganized lately- forgetting dates and deadlines left and right! Perhaps a pretty new journal could help me get out of this organization dilemma! I found a few over at Felt & Wire that I absolutely adore...
Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 5:03PM Such a cool collection from TW Workshop by British designer Tracy Wilkinson! What initially caught my attention from her collection were the ceramic vessels intricately woven with wicker. They have this wonderful rustic and clearly - handmade - look. But really, getting one of these is just another excuse for me to bring pretty plants into my house!! Love them all...
Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at 7:42PM Why not? Halloween is right around the corner after all! Found these great photos over at Stylizmo- where you can find out where these awesome skull pillows were purchased (in case you're interested in bringing some into your home too!)
Monday, September 10, 2012 at 7:38PM I've found these photos from Elle Interior very helpful as I'm helping my step-sister style her new apartment. She has A LOT of stuff, so we've been very mindful when layering her objects without letting the space look too cluttered. I actually prefer spaces with a little more to look at (the good kind of clutter.) We do LIVE in our homes after all! So it's okay to have our purses out and artwork taped to the walls! But as you can see in the room below, keeping a simple overall color theme helps keep the room unified.
Thursday, September 6, 2012 at 6:29PM I first saw Nemadji Pottery on the fab.com vintage market and immediately fell in love. The colors of the clay have a wonderful water color effect, giving it a very modern feel. Who would have guessed these pieces were made decades ago? If you're looking to purchase Nemadji Pottery for yourself, they can be found all over eBay and etsy!
"Nemadji pottery is that early 20th century invention that somehow got mixed up with a Native American tribe. The Minnesota-based Nemadji pottery company began manufacturing this colorful, swirled pottery in 1929 and promoted it as being “Indian inspired.” Over the years, advertising became truth in the minds of many, leading to mistaken claims over authentic Native American pottery. This set of five vessels contains one confirmed Nemadji, a piece you can now profess to know the truth about."

The warm desert tones remind me that Summer is slipping away, which is quite apparent today in Los Angeles. As I'm looking outside my office window, rain is POURING down!

We did this a lot when I was in design school- choosing a pre-existing brand to spruce up with a new logo, style guide and application process. It's fascinating to see how much a business can take on an entirely different persona simply by changing the visual branding! An excellent example of this comes from a portfolio found on Behance. It's the work of designer Matt Chase of DC who decided to re-brand the USPS! The colors and graphics give the company an easy-going, friendly and hip aesthetic- without taking away from the fact that this company has been established for over 200 years!! Awesome job...
