Artist Michelle Weinberg’s paintings are pretty darn awesome, but it’s her rug designs that made me do a double take.

Inspired by the simple slip-on wooden clothes pin (or “peg”), Canadian designer William McDonald designed a lamp that functions in the same way. Called Peg Lamp , the lamp uses minimal materials like aluminum, wood and felt to create a simple sliding mechanism so the user can adjust the light as needed.

For this week’s installment of  CMYLK , we’ve done something a little different. Instead of artwork and rooms, we’ve created  Colourlovers  palettes for four rugs from Spartanburg, South Carolina-based floor covering company  Milliken . These abstract designs are works of art in and of themselves.

I’m not throwing a party anytime soon, but browsing through the Hostess with the Mostess blog makes me want to throw one immediately! But of course, it would have to have all of the colorful and creative ideas and details that go into the parties seen on their website.

Have you ever thrown a party like this? By “this” I mean with one of these fabulous tables that have a cute banner, drinks with labels and a cute straw arranged on a matching tray, desserts or appetizers lined up also with cute labels attached to a toothpick. You can’t forget the flowers and a coordinating tablecloth, either!

The first party shown above is an 80s-themed Bridal Shower and the second is a graduation and birthday party with a navy and yellow chevron theme. If you click through to each party, you will see how all of the details come together from appetizers to drinks to desserts.

If you’ve thrown a party like this before, what are your tips for staying organized and bringing everything together – aside from hiring a party planner!?

It’s refreshing to see wall decor that is different than your typical paint or wallpaper, such as this Brick Back by BuzziSwitch. Although, I’m not quite sure why it’s called Brick Back, as it’s made from felt – BuzziFelt to be exact!

The Brick Back insulates sounds, so it can be used on the entire wall surface, or just in sections, as a bulletin board perse. The felt enables push-pins and/or thumbtacks to be used to hang up any necessary papers, flyers, decorations, etc.

The best part is the all of the colors available – I wouldn’t mind a bright pink Brick Back in my home office!!

What do you think of this fun wall covering?

It’s days like these that I really wish I was a 2.5 millionaire. Because then I could buy myself the most ridiculously beautifully modern white home shown above.

The house, the kitchen, the pool, the surroundings – everything about this modern home is gorgeous. But what I really love is that ceiling! I would love to see it in person – the effect it has on the home must be absolutely unbelievable.

Can you imagine the fun of decorating this home? I think I would need another million or so to complete that project! I would leave the walls all white and just bring in color with sleek, contemporary furniture. How would you decorate this home??

This modern home is for sale, and you can view the description and more photos here.

The new Punti bench from  Gaga & Design is a fun asymmetrical piece that consists of rings woven together in signature Gaga & Design style. As they mention, it’s “is roomy enough to seat three people and one cat.” Designed by Neil Nenner, the metal shapes are woven together with synthetic fibers to become one sturdy unit.

Wall decals are a great alternative to wallpaper as they don’t damage your walls when they’re removed and you can change them the moment you get tired of your handiwork with little effort. While there are a lot of wall decals out there, it’s harder to find simple modular shapes that can create modern patterns like the Removable Wall Patterns from the Salt Lake City-based MUR . Currently the company sells triangles (hooray!) in a small and large size, each available in eight colors. Use their gallery to figure out what pattern you want to go with and let your imagination go wild coming up with your very own color scheme.
