Blog Love
I read a lot of blogs. Many are informative, most are eyecandy, and some are inspirational. Thanks to Anna, I found a new inspirational blog: ferm LIVING’s clever spaces blog. I’ve previously bookmarked a few house tours from ferm’s awesome owners:
Christina Coop House Tour on Apartment Therapy
Trine Andersen Sneak Peek on Design*Sponge
Their spaces are extremely inspirational, and I am so excited to have found their blog. It reinforces my desire to wallpaper everything.

Moon
Normann Copenhagen has just launched Moon, a serving dish filled with holes, designed by Matthias Demacker:
Experimenting with different hole-structures I created a bowl with a loose pattern without any regularity. The surface of the dish does not only play with its formal aspect of the perforation, but it also plays with its function, since the holes only allow to place objects in the dish that exceed the diameter of the openings.

Jennifer Anderson Studio
These chairs are called Drove. I wonder if it is drove, like “I drove far to buy them”, or as in “I couldn’t buy one, I had to buy a drove of chairs” or “they came in droves!”

Webber Street, New Zealand, by Hillery Priest Architecture
A compact family home that is well defined by a strong modern aesthetic of high contrast. A protective shell of steel and darkened cedar forms a hardened exterior around the more smoother and soft white crisp interior spaces.

Bittystarr
Wow - these are fantastic papercuttings by Etsy seller Bittystarr. I love how she uses colorful fabrics behind the papercuts to give them more dimension.
