Pins & Needles

On Saturday my husband and I went to see an apartment in Studio City and fell in love! After being unemployed and experiencing some financial ups and downs the last few years, this would be a gift. We had to move out of L.A. for a few years, but we have jobs again and want nothing more than to settle down. We're both waiting by our phones to hear from the manager, but there were so many people there to see it right along with us, we're really nervous!

I just can't help but picture the reading corner I would design, under the window, below the wood beam ceilings.....

Morimoto

I can't wait to visit Mexico City again... that's where my mother is from so I used to go quite often, but unfortunately, I haven't been in a while. Not only do I want to show my new husband such an amazing city, but I need to see this in person!

Thomas Schoos designed Morimoto Mexico City, the restaurant at the Camino Real Hotel. The freestanding wooden box filled with art and unique furnishings is a brilliant way to solve the problem of 75' glass ceilings. The entire design looks like one large piece of modern art. And get this, he literally draped rope throughout the restaurant, tying it all together (pun definitely intended!)...

Mood .012

Bubble pendant via Euro Style Lighting // I love modern simplicity and this pendant has it. It's not too industrial, but it's not frilly either. Perfect.

Art via Because It's Awesome // I agree, it's awesome. Miranda Skoczek captures the childlike qualities of innocent design, in a chic manner. Love the colors and the textures.

Girl via Hakani // I like the mystery behind this photo. We know this girl, she's every girl, yet we don't really know her. There's a little whimsy too, which I always love.

Dining Room via Trendey // Purple brick walls... yes please! With pink chairs and warm woods...cool!
