Inspiration in Weird Places
Inspiration can come from the most random of places. Sometimes you're looking out for it and other times it sneaks up from behind and smacks you over the head. We love this random color duo from las...

Sometimes we're surprised at how much our mood can be affected by just a little change in scenery. Our living room is shades of light neutrals and some espresso, and yeah, it can feel kind of blah som...
We're not huge fans of lavish parties, we're more the casual dinner party types...just a candle or two here and a bunch of flowers there and we're ready for a simple get-together. But every once in ...
Is it just us, or is this one of the most stunning fences you've seen in a long while? Made out of ipe, a sustainably harvested Brazilian hardwood, in two thicknesses, we think it's the fact that boar...
We're always intrigued by Seattleite-turned-Dubliner Shawna's observations on decorating and design in Ireland. But today's entry jumped off the page -- wow! (Check out the before pic below the jump ...
lamp before, jump below for lamp after We love this quick lamp revamp from Carlene (and her crafty husband). She's described the above version as "Scruffy brown lamp. Cute shape, ugly color". We agr...
What we're sharing here, dear readers, is a bit of an embarrassment. But we'll push our shame aside in the spirit of this month's organizing and cleaning theme, and we're asking for your help!...
We truly believe that the Expedit from IKEA is one of the greatest storage solutions of all time. Because of this, we're constantly on the prowl for ways to jazz it up and make it our own. We recent...
Whine, whine, whine. You already know we have a thing for Airstreams. Seeing Kevin Fitzsimons' MObi Project, the restoration/modernization of a '78 Sovereign Land Yacht, doesn't help. Just a little...
So we were just doing a little blog surfing, and what did we come upon? Photos of Benjamin Dhong's faux bois bathroom at the San Francisco Decorator Showcase. Lovely....
We've been following Amy's home projects with a mix of humble admiration and sheer envy. Working with a "shoestring budget", she takes her time finishing her projects, knowing that to rush her ideas ...
One of our all-time favorite small spaces is the C3 Cabin by Seattle firm Vandeventer + Carlander Architects. Although we featured it last summer, we're re-posting it in honor of Small Cool Month. D...
We'll admit, we're recent converts to pink. But though it hasn't been long, we've definitely fallen - and hard (notice exhibits A and B). We think this little vignette shows a great color combination ...
Recently we were at the Dwell HQ and somehow managed to stumbled upon their jaw-dropping roof terrace (show above...and after the jump!). We love the modular floor tiles and the brushed metal chairs....
We hate to brag, but we're really quite happy with our idea to incorporate lichen-covered branches into the Dwell Home: Silicon Valley. Not only does the chartreuse color work really well with the in...
There's a heck of a lot of small space inspiration going on this month. Just in case the contest isn't enough for you, take a look at this small Parisian space we just spotted on sfgirlbybay. 60 squ...
We're in the midst of an office organizing overhaul (i.e. HELL) and we're trying to come up with a practical and clever way to organize our "creativity" (i.e. MESS). We were particularly blown away ...
There are only a handful of photos of this remodeled 1926 Seattle bungalow on the architect's website, but several things immediately caught our attention... ...
Over the weekend we visited a friend in the Mission. Our friend is an artist, and is always trying new, "unconventional" ways to decorate his apartment. Case in point: His Woody Allen black electri...
We stopped by the newly opened Candybar over the weekend to try the drinks and desserts, and ended up being most impressed with the decor....
We stumbled upon this colorful photo of a kitschy kitchen and just couldn't get over how bright and fun it was. Because of this, we compiled a list of five products under $100 from online design shop...
Angela Adams' rugs are so bold, graphic and colorful that they need a laid-back home to really shine in without overwhelming the space. It turns out that such a home is quite an appealing one all on...
This lovely handmade patchwork blanket is quite possibly one of the most beautiful blankets that we've seen. Ever. ...
A friend of ours recently moved his ceramic studio from San Francisco over to Berkeley. He has a tiny little space that he's gussied up to fit his needs and done a bang-up job of organizing the good...
Our home office is almost all paperless, so this would work perfectly for us. It actually makes us wish we had just a little pass-through between rooms (okay, it would be nice if we also had separate...
