Barcelona-based architecture and design firm 5lab has designed a modular shelving system called B_kube that performs double or triple duty. Made of oak or black MDF, the cube can be stacked into a bookshelf or used alone as a seat, tray table or storage container.

Loving the idea of bright, flowing, colorful curtains to brighten up a room no matter what time of day, or what time of year.

While initially a bold and bright solid colored curtain appealed to me the most, the combination of a solid with pattern seems a little bit more casual yet still gives that oomph I’m looking for. Here is the good example of great curtains designer from Ukraine.

Plus, mixing three different curtains is the perfect solution for indecisive individuals like myself that can’t narrow anything down to just one!

As part of the DMY 2011 Asia Exhibition tour , which presented innovative German design objects and products at seven different fairs and festivals in Asia, Sascha Grewe exhibited his A-Z stools / tables with storage. The A-Z stools are made of MDF and are available in — get this — 250 colors! The stools can be used as seats, side tables, shelves or simply as typographical objects. I don’t think I’m ready to see this alphabet furniture trend go just yet.

Gold flatware seems to be quite abundant within table settings as of late. And that’s ok with me! Although I didn’t use to be a huge gold fan, I find myself loving it more and more. And gold flatware is no exception to that!

Since West Elm just rolled out a set of gold flatware of their own, it got me thinking about other sets out there. The West Elm option (#3) is amongst the most affordable that I found, but isn’t that what dreams are for?

So here they are:

1) Oneida Flatware 18/10, Alessandra Gold 5 Piece Place Setting
2) DIANE von FURSTENBERG “Night” 5 Piece Place Setting, Gold
3) West Elm Gold Flatware Set
4) Hammered Flatware Service
5) Rondo Gold Cutlery
6) Almoco Flatware

Have you seen any gold flatware elsewhere that may be worth our while? Do share!

I discovered Francis Jens Spitta ‘s work on Pattern Pulp . In his pillow patterns, he takes inspiration from his own life – he says, “I’ve taken the iconic images of my life and I’ve twisted them around a bit.  Those stunning delicate handkerchiefs in my grandmother’s top drawer? Pillows. The batiks I wore in seventh grade?
