Angel Otero’s recent exhibition at Kavi Gupta Gallery looks incredibly gorgeous. I love ‘Portrait of Grandma’s Table.’ Simply beautiful.

I’ve been perusing the work of Greg Hatton, and I’m in mad love with his passion for wood. He’s got an insane gift for his craft, and I’m loving the styling and photography that showcases the beauty of his work.

In other words? I want to live here. Officially filing this under my inspiration folder!

Also, those stools? Gasp!

I’ll never EVER be a tattoo girl, but wow. I’m loving these sweet little redwood leaves photographed by Christen!

More cute tattoos? Katey‘s and Amanda’s (I wish) “tattoos”.

Whew! Another week has flown by and spring is officially here. At least, I hope it is. I’m pretty finished with winter. Anyway, I hear rain is in the works this weekend and I couldn’t be more excited to head to the bookstore (maybe I’ll find some vintage sailor photos in a hidden book! ooh, or a Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia!) and catch up on reading. Maybe I’ll bring a few home and place them in my entryway a la Desire to Inspire. (I’d head to this shop if it were in my hometown, b/c whoa! Gorgeous!)

Or perhaps I’ll sit next to an open window and listen to the rain (my favorite thing to do!). How lovely would the morning light look with Emma Wolf’s window film? Topped off with gauzy Moondance curtains (yep, it’s a shower curtain, but I’m not picky). Lovely indeed. Especially with a mini lamp shade nearby.

Also, I’m going to spend my weekend trying to ignore this adorable floral footwear. Must. Practice. Self control. Speaking of florals, have you seen these disposable vases? Genius.

Happy weekend!

Haim Steinbach has dedicated his life work to the art of the shelf. I never knew a piece of furniture could be so… riveting? Is that the right word?

I bet he finds total solace at The Container Store.
