I've never heard of such a thing. I'm hungry, this looks yummy and this site is having a rad competition that it's a part of.


De Stihl Speakers!!!

I I fell in love with Mondrian at 16. Two months ago when I started Interior Design School my very fist project was to study the De Stihl movement. I've always had an affection for this look. Check out these oh so very de stihl speakers I found on unplgged.



I see these in a very simple white room. Natural, rustic, unfinished wood - Maybe an oriental rug on the floor and these chairs in the corner.

NICO - store inspiration

My latest project's inspiration...Nico of the Velvet Underground



Vintage Patterns Hand Printed for Today's Walls

Beautiful updated historic wallpapers from Lim and Handtryck. The company used antique wood and copper rollers to print nontoxic inks on completely recycled paper.









Ann Sacks Tile - Inspiration for Daysssssssss

I'm designing a ladies retail store/gallery space based around Nico from the Velvet Underground. Some form of these tiles (I'm thinking the red) will have to be in my entry way. Make sure to check out the rest of Ann Sacks' site and their store in Portland. I'ver never loved tile so much!

I Love MothLove

This clothing is sex on a cow skin rug.

Portland-based designer Gretchen Jones' ol' fashioned hunter & gatherer approach begs us to reverse and reevaluate our methods of production. MothLove's earthy pieces reject the current state of synthetic production and reflect the traditional methods consumer's once demanded. Each piece in Jones' collection[s] are hand crafted. In a Lewis Carroll-esque twist, MothLove is inspired by different caterpillars (accessories) and moths (garments).

We need shelving!

So our new bedroom does not have a tone of walking room due to a partially slanted ceiling which leaves our north facing wall at about 30" high. We would love to utilize this space.

First we thought IKEA...but for now, I believe we are even too poor for IKEA.

Then we thought Cinder Block Shelving a la college life... maybe paint the cinder blocks?

And then i found these!?!?! Ketch used to be a plumber, I bet he could figure out a shorter version of this right quick!

The Microwave is his friend

(via Bars and Booths)
So funny story, Ketch and I have a new roommate. This new roommate has a GF. Said GF came over last week while I was not at home and apparently had something to say about our microwave.

"I cannot BELIEVE you guys have a MICROWAVE! The waves!" I guess she only utilizes the stove? Or maybe just wood and flame.

So anyway, this microwave comment pissed off Ketch to the max. "I like using a microwave! It's simple and effective!" The fact that she would come into our home and diss such a simple item really ground his gears. It's not like we don't have a stove and are only eating Lean Cuisine for dinner every night. I'm pretty sure that if she hadn't been cute she might have been booted out the door right then and there. Haha.

The argument for me was no big deal cause I wasn't even there. But I heard about it from Ketch for quite some time...so when i saw this at Cargo here in Portland, I had to pick it up. I literally squealed when I saw it and so did Ketch.


It is now nicely hanging in the kitchen for EVERYONE to see.

It was $8.50 at Cargo, but is also available all over the internets.
