Oh, the power of a pop of color in a monochrome room! Sure, the tone on tone or black&white color ideas have their power and benefits, BUT I’m a fan for color (my living room IS turquoise, after all.), and mostly great color combos. Call it an ex-graphic designer default setting, perhaps…
Shade on Shape‘s emphasis is all about simple yet powerful (thru color) home objects. Vibrant pops! :)

Fall in love with tiny little geometric tree landscapes from Patty Dear! HOW CUTE ARE THESE!?! (Caps intended.)
Talk about unique decor treasures! Choose monochrome for a more “serious” look, or a colorful mix for a bit more fun! Basis are reclaimed wood planks, even better than awesome. ;)

Lightexture (what a cool name!) is a collaboration between 3 creatives: an architect, a lighting designer and a ceramic artist.
It makes for beautifully textures light fixtures (in clay or in metals), all with particular attention to how the light travels once lit, to create unique ambiances and patterns on the wall. Just lovely!
Also check out this Handmade Portrait video to know more about them! :)

When it comes to lighting, the simpler is usually the better. But for Lindsey Adelman‘s case, we can make an exception.
Her lamp are works of art (and are priced as such), placed in between sculptures and functional art installations. Lighted mobiles, sort of! Just sublime!

I’ve always liked wallpaper, but never considered it an option, really. Seems like such a hassle (to put on, AND take down). But again, always liked it, so once in a while, I consider it again.
These ones (especially the first picture up there), found over at Hygge & West, are kinda torturing me. They offer a selection of wallpapers from small designers, such as Lisa Congdon and Oh Joy (you probably know her blog, yeah?).
Your turn to try to resist now. (Good luck.) lol

Vintage plates on the wall as decor can be so lovely! How about hand painted plates too, huh?
Check out Zuppa Atelier‘s cute little shop so find some of those, as well as other delicately adorned kitchenware. It’s a lovely frenzy of trees and houses and air balloons and umbrellas! :)

Here I am, fan of pottery. Handmade or machine made, vintage or brand spankin’ new, oldschool or contemporary, I love it all.
Clare Dubina found a fabulous way to mix it all together in a show stopping result: upcycling vintage stoneware into new modern vessels. I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE. Know it. lol :)

So that I would be stuck on mobiles, it would have to be very contemporary looking. And that’s exactly what Melissa of AMradio does.
Made out of plastic straws (Hum hello!? Brilliant.) or in brass in some cases, she creates beautiful intricate geometric lightweight mobiles (or Xmas tree ornaments, or plant hangers) that’ll fit any modern decor.
Her shop also offers many awesome vintage finds, such as there rustic looking wooden crates.

While you’re at it, check out her husband John’s shop too, Urban Brewery, which offers small kits (with instructions, of course) for those who want to explore making their own beer! Pretty awesome!!

Today’s shop is called Oelwein, but it should be called everything-is-so-cute-that-you-wont-be-able-to-resist, or maybe also called CUTENESS-CENTRAL. Haha!
From triangles to water drops and clouds, from trays to bags and cards, a little something is waiting for everyone. Screenprinting at it’s best artful outcome! :)

Talk about flashy perfect color combos! Nicole Porter‘s wood vessels are turned from single planks, then painted and sealed with non-toxic film. Perfect fruit bowls or serving platters, yeah?
And those spoons could totally be hung on an art wall (seriously considering it…)! SO PRETTY! :)
