Kitchen Scrubber {DIY}

I found this DIY in my daily Remodelista email this morning and wanted to share it with you {they snagged the DIY from 3191 Miles Apart}.  I am always wanting something better than a kitchen brush and nicer than a sponge.  This is the perfect compromise and is totally a...

Finally, Etsy has done what Jessica and I have been wishing for the past year, a Wedding Registry!  Unfortunately it is a little late for her wedding, but definitely not too late for mine!  I am a big fan of online registries in general but this takes it to another level.  The...

Bridal Headpiece

I was approached by my good friend Jackie to create a custom headpiece for her sister Nicole’s wedding in Chile earlier this year.  It wasn’t a project I would have come to on my own, so I really enjoyed the challenge.  We had some inspiration from a local bridal shop...

Once again I discovered something amazing listening to Rick Daddy on KUT the other night.  Third Man Records {spawn of Jack White} recently released the latest single in their Blues Series singles: Tom Jones covering Howlin’ Wolf’s Evil and Frankie Lane’s Jezebel.  Yep, that’s right, I said Tom Jones!  Oh...

Futagami

I recently stumbled onto the website for Japanese based metal studio, Futagami.  Although I was unknowling very familiar with the Futagami bottle openers and trivets sold at my favorite gift store, Spartan, I realized there was so much more to the collection.  Their website is in Japanese and not necessarily...

So, if you were like me, you packed your closet full of lovely neutrals last year and are now in desperate need of some color!  As much as I would love to go out and buy an entire new wardrobe for spring, I am pretty sure it just isnt going...

Studio Visit, Verena Junghans

After an afternoon of hiking and castle-ruin-exploring in Southern Germany, my aunt and uncle took us to a small gasthof and restaurant in Blaesiberg.  On the bottom floor was the inviting studio of porcelain artist Verena Junghans.  With such lovely and delicate pieces with colorful and organic details, we couldn’t...

We have been super busy here for the past few weeks and have been a bit quiet! Sorry! We changed the shop hours to close Monday’s and Tuesday’s to allow for a little dedicated studio time and I have definitely put it to good use. I am excited to say...

Eames House

A few weeks ago we checked out the documentary Eames: The Architect and The Painter and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I am an artist and a designer, however, did not study “design” in school, so I really don’t have much context outside of general aesthetic appreciation for well designed objects.  The...
