Sorry you’re all stuck at work, but our weekend started early! We’re also sorry for the lack of bloggage yesterday, but this weekend is bound to be full of blog-worthy goodness which should make up for it. We’re on our way to visit Cat’s parents’ in Dallas (Commerce for you people who are unfamiliar with the area) sooo we’ll talk to you soon!
As you know we hate wall covering so much that we invented our own, which started out being a joke, but ended up being a big hit among our readers. As we were scoping out the competition, we came across an alternative to wall covering: wall decals! These ideas definitely inspired us! I call dibs on the barcode above the couch!!! :)
Although very awesome, they still don’t hold a candle to “mow your wall”, but what can ya do? Kidding. I really want a bunch of these! Which ones are your faves? Have you seen better ones out there? Tell us about it!
Until next time!
We have always been obsessed with using paper as an art form. We’ll be walking through Ikea or DWR, looking at the lighting, and are like “we could totally make that” … and with the right materials and time and efforts, we could! However, there are some pretty cool things that you can do with paper that we wouldn’t even dream of attempting. So instead we’ll share them with you guys! It’s inspiring nonetheless to think that people made this stuff with their bare hands! Enjoy :)
Cool right? These people obviously have a lot of spare time on their hands, but we’re glad they do!
Until next time!
I really get bored with lighting sometimes. Its always the same old stuff. Why have the typical and expected lighting if you don’t have to? Why have the same lighting fixture as your neighbor? Spice it up with some conversation pieces! No really.. these are pretty unique.
What better way to dress up your space, than with top hats? eh?

Got a bunch of extra hangers? Me either.. But if you did you could make some pretty cool lighting!

These ceramic white flashlights are a unique nostalgic way to light up your space.

Thomas Paul created a line using bold colors and patterns for his lighting, there is bound to be one to mach any space.

For the person who has everything, there’s the industrial table lamp because.. well, why the heck not?

I think this is a neat [and inexpensive] way to add lots of bold colors to your space
I really love this new way to use desk lamp shades as lighting, say.. over your dining table? So cool!
The glass was blown to give the illusion that these light fixtures were actually melting, pretty sick!

Have you seen some cool unique lighting out there? Tell us about it! I hope you were inspired :)
Until next time!
Lately Catharine has been coffee table shopping and I just love messing with furniture, and though they were one thing once, coffee tables have become so much more lately. It started as a place to put your drink when you had company and you sat in the “sitting” room with tea or coffee, maybe after a meal. Now they have become more of a “mail, drinks, dinner, remote, and puppy” table. Which is more important, which has more value? To stay a purist and maintain the simplest idea of “table” to hold things up, or elevate them, or do we embrace and make it work for our needs and the modern Tivo, Uverse, Netflix watching freaks that we are? There is such a variety of said beasts, it gets pretty exciting. Check em out, which would you rather (rother) have? I was once told that an object is just an object when it does one thing, when it does 2 things, then your in the realm of architecture. So if you were to build one, or have it custom built, what would it be? I can tell you mine will have pop out drawers and places for magazine, and certainly a little drawer for a remote or 7 and if I’m cool enough, even an electrical plug for when I’m on my couch with my laptop….
who knows :)
So as you can see coffee tables have come a long way, so what does your ideal coffee table look like? What would it do for you?
Until next time!
