We have a clue about Furniture

I’m thinking of investing in some washi tape, since I don’t yet own any. Now may be as good of a time as any with the holidays coming up, as I’ve seen several blogs and Pinterest pins brightening up their wrapping with washi tape here and there.

There are a ton of bright and pretty solid colors, polka dots and stripes, but for this post I decided to go with six really different patterns, not patterns that are “everyday” patterns.

Have you purchased any washi tape lately? Where is your go-to store to purchase it? And what have you made with washi tape? I’d love to see your projects!

Six different washis:
1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6

New York-based artist and industrial designer William Lee just released a pair of chairs as part of a group of new work that was geometrically inspired. The Conform chairs at first sight do not look like chairs at all. The minimalist seat is composed of a misshapen cube-like frame in neon green or pink and a seat made of stretched woven elastic that “conforms” to the body.

Interior designer David Harris is a founding partner and one of the forces behind a fabulous pair of New York City furniture companies, The New Traditionalists and ducduc . While The New Traditionalists designs are entrenched in the classics, the approach is wholly of this era, with a multitude of custom, come-up-with-your-own-design fabrics and finishes. ducduc is a modern dream for kids, all glossy, sleek, and white, accented with bright color bursts. The design magic happens in the Soho studio, and the building takes place not far beyond, in facilities in New England, using old-fashioned furniture making techniques. You can get a glimpse of Harris’ classic and current day influences in this week’s Friday Five

I bought some Ikea fabric, some Spray Mount Glue, AND I GOT NEW FURNITURE! The fabrics I chose were ANNAMOA blue, ANNAMOA green and LILLIVI. About 28cm of each. It is very easy, clean the surface

Do you think that Christmas trees should match with a home’s decor? I don’t! I think that the Christmas tree should be whatever a person wants it to be, whether it fits in with their decor or not. (It’s only temporary anyway, right?)

Would you rather have a modern Christmas tree like the colorful white one above? Or would you rather have a traditional tree with the reds, golds, and greens of the holiday season? Does your preference of a Christmas tree conflict with the style of your home? I’d love to hear all about it!
