When Two Becomes One

ROOMS

I just love this home…even the story that comes along with it. The homeowners (one works and marketing and the other at H&M Home!) originally bought two worn out apartments and combined them to create one modern family home. The house covers two whole floors, lets in lots of natural light and is filled with flea market finds (the best in my opinion). The images above are just some of my favorites.

INSPIRED BY JNC MAGAZINE / CURATED BY AMY MOORE

ART & DESIGN

I thought I’d switch things up a little this week with a different type of inspiration and a fresh layout.  Fashion editorials are always pushing the envelop with creative concepts, so much in fact that they are truly works of art.  When I first got into graphic design, I really wanted to work for a fashion magazine – it would be impossible for me to not be bursting with ideas for layouts when you have material like this to work with!  This spread is from JNC magazine…I am blown away by how well the saturated color and the devoid thereof pair so well to build this ethereal story.  I had a lot of fun putting this week’s post together – hope you enjoy!

Samantha Casolari for Collezioni Sunglasses

PHOTOGRAPHY

I just love these photos and I think it’s a lovely way to showcase sunglasses. Instead of showing the sunglasses big and bold, the glasses are more subtle as the colors shine through (almost like looking through a kaleidoscope). Very unique. Photographer Samantha Casolari has an extensive online portfolio with more great work.

See Samantha’s portfolio and more from this shoot.

Album Cover via The Ghostly Store

ART & DESIGN

I’ve really been enjoying what The Ghostly Store has to offer. This place has so many unique items it’s hard to choose which ones to add to your cart. Not only are they great items, the attention to design detail is spot on. The album covers in particular are some of my favorite things to look at.

Stop by and peruse the music section–>

 

* Thanks to all of you who responded to my twitter poll about incorporating my own photography into this blog. I got an overwhelming response suggesting that I start sharing some more of my own snapshots. Stay tuned for a new feature…!

Simple Sweet Paul

ART & DESIGN



Have you guys had a chance to look through the spring issue of Sweet Paul Online Magazine? It’s really great and if you are a foodie, you’ll be completely inspired.

I was drawn to this particular story (out of the 140 page magazine) that showcases recipes using the most iconic spring food items. The spreads were artfully crafted with simple design elements.

Read entire spread here.
