...Lost City...

Another great dramatic chandelier from Hudson-- the Atlantis by Barlas Baylar.
Has that cool, 'ghosty' feeling that I love. Would be great on a pirate ship. If anyone has a pirate ship they would like to redecorate, let me know.

...Happy Hour...

How cute is this pill clock from Joseph Joseph? Gives new meaning to the phrase "happy hour"! I would love to see it in a doctor's office ;) What would be really great is if the pill colors rotated every hour.

...Wabi-Sabi for the Masses...

I am totally enamored with my tableware from Thomas O'Brien for Target... (I actually visited about 3 different Target locations to complete the set) The entire collection has a very subtle combed effect with a thin rim of brown around the edges. The perfect touch of wabi-sabi for the masses.

...Anthropologie...

I love this desk! It delicately balances clean, modern lines with a simple hand-forged steel frame with vintage looking alder wood drawers that seem to float below the textured glass surface. This desk is everything vintage modern should be and packs a big design punch in a small package. I couldn't believe it was from Anthropologie! $1298. I'm already trying to fit it into my apartment in my head...

...By Artists, For Artists...

Modofly is an artist collective that churns out these lovely moleskin-esque notebooks by some very talented artist. (Not sure if they are actually modified moleskin's-- although they do come with similar options-- ruled, squared, sketch, watercolor, etc.)

I especially like the octopus designs by London artist Dan Hillier. Thinking about picking up the revolver one for myself ;) Bang Bang!

...Chaos/Order...

The Quad bookshelf ($1700) seems to capture my personal lifestyle philosophy-- delicately balanced, organized chaos. Grouped in multiples of 2 or 3, they would be quite a statement.

...van Duysen...

Speaking of Vincent van Duysen...

...ooo Shiny...

I've seen this idea of a floor-grazing waterfall chandelier done over and over, but Swarovski has turned out an especially pretty version. Is there anything Vincent van Duysen can't do?
