colorful decor from rice

decor8 posted these pictures from rice today. they appeal to me a lot because I love very colorful things but to keep the color under control it's great to have all the walls and furniture be white.

these 50s style refrigerators from smeg are so cute and come in a huge amount of colors. I love the pink one!

I posted about kathleen hills' dinnerware yesterday, and she makes this beautiful lighting from porcelain too. The disc lights are very cool.

icestone countertops

this blog is really random I know, but I just want to keep track of things that interest me all in one place. I really like the idea of using recycled materials to build a house. I saw these icestone countertops on apartment therapy - san francisco. they are made of recycled glass and concrete and come in tons of colors.

kathleen hills dishes

very beautiful procelain dishes from kathleen hills that I saw on bloesem. she also makes really amazing lighting that I'll do another post on later.

celio braga artwork with glass beads

I read about celio braga on cally creates. all of his artwork is extremely amazing and uses really interesting materials, but I tried to limit myself to just posting on a few of his things that use glass seed beads. it's really interesting to see something so crafty like seed beads used in art in this way.

jjceramics planters

I posted about jen's other etsy shop here, and now she has a new shop with these extremely cute little planters.

bauer pottery

I collect california-made bauer pottery in red, orange, yellow, purple, and red. it's a reproduction of vintage bauer but uses lead-free glazes. the white and dove grey are really beautiful too, but I never see them in stores for some reason. it looks like they discontinued red, which makes me really sad!

I am extremely inspired by the artwork of valerie hammond, whom I saw on design*sponge today. I really liked reading her artist statement and seeing all the interesting materials she uses to make her art like glass beads, wax, and thread.

redecorating my office/studio

I just redid this room with the help of my very handy boyfriend, and I love it soooo much. I bought a long white table from ikea and made a u-shaped desk using my antique cabinet and desk. I love my antique desk because I can close it up to make space or keep it open for more work surface. It will be great to work on art projects with all the good light from that front window too! Check out my flickr gallery for more pictures of my house.

marston & langinger pendant lamps

I like these simple metal pendant lamps from marston & langinger. The first one especially is a really beautiful shape.
