Emerson Doll House

OMG! Is this not the coolest doll house ever?? The Emerson doll house will be available in June 2010 from Brinca Dada for $299. It's made with non-toxic materials and is solar powered. (Naturally.) Appropriate modern furnishings and occupants will also be available. Hello . . . Santa?

Cherry House Quilts

Another great inspiration. City Park from Cherry House Quilts. Awesome!

Inspiration!

I need a blanket for my new sofa. I want something contemporary, but that also coordinates with my existing "stuff." After perusing my Flickr favorites, I was very inspired by some of the contemporary quilts I had saved. This one (titled Elements 19) is from Simply Robin's quilt set. It's fabulous!

Orange Orange

This fresh pick is from the new Spring collection from Heals London. (Now celebrating their 200th birthday.) Sweet! This group is called "Get Organised." See all of these pieces and several other groups on their website.

Love It!

I've been looking at dining room furniture for ages. Wood just wasn't doing it for me. Anything modern enough to suit me was WAY too expensive. I got the new Chiasso catalog in the mail today, and there it was. A sweet little set called Astor. I've always liked the (seemingly identical) Orbit chair from CB2, but there was no table. Thanks, Chiasso!

New Cosmic Mugs from French Bull

I discovered these bold colored cosmic astrology mugs at French Bull. Made of porcelain in bright mod colors. Also available in several of their other classic retro patterns.

Come on! Inspire me!

It's too bad Crate & Barrel doesn't currently have any room groups in their catalog as inspiring as this right now. It's one of their best efforts in recent years. The City Mink armless sectional, Abaca ottoman, Optic Sea Glass lamps and Mix side tables are all still available. The throw pillows are not.

Strut Work Table from Crate & Barrel

This room group from Crate & Barrel speaks for itself. The Strut Table, shag rug, and dome lamp all look like they stepped out of 1970!

World's Smallest Bean Bag Chair

How cute is this? A tiny bean bag chair to hold your ipod, phone, or remote. In retro orange (naturally) from CB2. Would make a great gift!

Furniture or Artwork?

I spotted this fabulous credenza by Thomas Wold at Design Public.  It also comes in neutral colors, and a matching bookcase is also available.  

Zanis Waldheims 1909-1993

I discovered Zanis Waldheims through a photo set on flickr.  There isn't a lot of information available about him, but what an amazing body of work!  

Blue Art Studio

Take a look at the great art prints from Blue Art Studio.  This one is titled, "Stripes."  Very reasonably priced and many fabulous designs!  

New at Crate & Barrel

These colors are definitely making a comeback!  Crate & Barrel has quite a selection of new citrus colored kitchen items including mixing bowls, cutting boards, canisters, measuring cups and spoons, and dishtowels.  

Cool Mod Decals on ETSY

I spotted these cool mod wall decals in the Singlestone Studios etsy shop this weekend.  They have a great selection of designs and colors to choose from!  

Fabulous Stationary is . . . FABULOUS!

Fabulous Stationary has added lots of new designs, including a recycled collection.  Check it out!

This Week on eBay

Orla Kiely Finally Hits the Shelves at Target

The much anticipated Orla Kiely merchandise line is finally hitting the shelves at Target stores nationwide. I saw some of the bins and totes on the shelf Friday, and they look great!

New Wallter Slat Rack

I love this great new rack from Wallter!  Their slat rack is available online from 2Modern.  Made of powder coated steel, and available in brown, orange, green or white.  

New and Cool from Chaisso

This cool new disc shelf/mirror is from Chiasso.  It's currently on backorder, but looks like it's worth the wait!  It's both functional and decorative.  And larger than it looks.  36 x 24 x 6 inches.  

Campbell Laird

This great print (and many more) from Australian artist Campbell Laird will be available soon from 2Modern.  Take a look at their great selection and also at his wonderful and innovative studio website.
