As a former metalsmith myself I love when I find unique ideas by artist’s in that arena. Andreas Fabian is an artist from a diverse background who takes items, particularly those for the table, and reimagines them in humorous while incredibly functional ways – like the platter, hemDing, below. I love that it’s a shovel […]

The online shop, Droog, brings together many designers that I normally may not have come across. What first led me to it was seeing this Hare Mat in a photo of someone’s apartment. My first and only pet in my life was a rabbit once upon a time and this large mat reflects my longstanding […]

Like almost every young girl living alone in New York I feel a kindred […]

When you’re a renter you don’t want to do anything too destructive to the apartment for fear of losing your security deposit. I’ve been in the same apartment for almost three years and I’ve still not painted the walls. Plenty of art but no paint. Today on Etsy I stumbled upon Elephannie, who creates wall […]

Today I came upon a company called Ork Posters, which will allow me to look at an awesome map of Boston’s neighborhood in the colors of my beloved Celtics! Other colors are available but this, […]
