Light Captured as a Table

I love these tables from Glas Italia so much! They are so colorful and cheerful and bordering on the wonderfulness of neon but in table form. They were designed by Johanna Grawunder who is a former lighting desginer who just recently made her debut as a furniture designer with this series. Drawing on her lighting experience for inspiration, Grawunder has designed XX console and XXX low table - two fruit salad tinted tables - to emanate light without the need for electrical interference. Constructed from x shaped glass bases and topped with rectangular and circular surfaces, the tables were uncovered this week alongside the rest of Glas Italia’s 2009 collection. In my opinion, I think she did a great job nof translating her work with light into furniture.

Glass Slipper & Palest Pistachio

This past weekend, with the help of my darling boyfriend, we painted my new living room Benjamin Moore's "Glass Slipper." It was reccomended by my good friend Craver, from Decor Craver, and I must say that I am more than pleased with it. I've seen it in several different ights now and it changes from a glassy pale green blue to a deep gray blue and everything in between. There are tones of blue, green, gray and even purple at times. I just love it.

The bedroom is going to be tackled next weekend and it's going to be Benjamin Moore's "Palest Pistachio." The rooms are going to feel lighter than air, which is effect I was hoping for! I can't wait to get my new digital camera to show you guys the rooms.

Design Inspiration: Mismatched Chairs

I love the mismatched chairs for this dinning room table. I own one dinning room table and four mismatched chairs. I feel awkward at times because of the hodgepodge look, but it's nice to see other people doing the same thing.

Hello Again!

I know, I know, it's been ages since my last post. In my defense, my day job was kicking my butt...but, now it's summer and things at the office are winding down and I can begin to focus on the things I love again!


Even more exciting, I'm going to be moving to a new apartment and that comes along with so many new ideas for a new space. This weekend I am going to be painting and here is my color inspiration:

My good friend Craver helped me pick out a beautiful color from Benjamin Moore called "Glass Slipper" for my bedroom and in my living room I want to go with a glassy green equivilant to that color that has yet to be found. I want the colors to be bright and light and airy and feel like you're at the bottom of a beautiful swimming pool sparkling in the August sun!

I am so excited for the new space and for this summer! Posts to come more frequently, promise!

Colors

I love the colors and design used on the cover of April's issue of Wallpaper magazine.  It almost looks like a Pucci print. I love the shades of blue and diamond or crystal like pattern. I'd love to have this as a rug, tapestry or bed spread. 

Outdoor Furniture

Living in New York, I don't have much need for outdoor furniture, but I found these really amazing tables and stools. The sleek Galets series by Ludovic Renson features a low roto-molded table and stools that are chrome-painted with a bamboo insert on the surface. Cool, with just enough warmth, which is the exact look that I love. I wish there was a person in the photograph to give a clear sense of scale. 

Espresso!

I love coffee, it's in my blood. Look at this machine!

"Wheel" is an espresso machine with a 19 bar pump. turning the wheel a quater rotation, than open door and the box for nespresso-capsule move out and now you can put in an new nespresso-capsule. push the door and make a quater rotation from the wheel. the rest coffee dosen´t stand in the pipe will be that blow out with an overpressure. the water tank is a specila bottle from Vittel with Vittelwater. AND the best part? It's shaped like a C!
