I just discovered this amazing website, Bookhou.com! This site features artists, John Booth and Arounna Khounnoraj and their beautiful work. I LOVE their work so much I have to share them with you as our new fav designers in our ‘Designers to Watch’ monthly feature.

Both Booth and Khounnoraj specialize in natural handmade materials and small production pieces, and feature their many creative sides through textiles, art, letterpress, and woodwork. I seriously can’t find one piece in their collection that I don’t absolutely LOVE!  All of their work is so beautiful and feels so pure, I just can’t get enough of it!

Booth and Khounnoraj opened a brick and mortar shop in Toronto in 2008. The shop looks amazing! Hope to make a trip up to Toronto some day soon!

I recently found these amazing photos of this fun and flirty home designed by Jonathan Berger in Brooklyn, NY. I love how he mixed and matched styles to create a one-of-a-kind space. His use of bright colours express his originality and amazing style! Berger found furniture everywhere, from Christies to eBay. His inspiring use of antique rugs next to zebra carpets, hot pink and blue fabrics, and eBay finds next to antique furnishings makes me want to redesign my home in this style.

My favorite room in this home is definitely the kitchen. It’s so light and bright, and it very unique! Berger used antiqued mirrored glass on the cabinets to create the illusion that the kitchen is bigger than it really is. Enjoy these beautiful photos!

I can’t wait to see what else Berger has in store for us in the future!

Far east modern designs are my new obsession. Although we have all seen far east designs of colors and busy prints of the past, here are some modern pieces you won’t find in any traditional home.

Yellow is such a charming and cheerful colour! It’s so inviting, and I find it makes any item just that much more interesting when it is shaded in a beautiful yellow. Very trendy, very retro, and I’m very much in LOVE! These are some fab photos and products I think that exemplify that oh so stylish and modern feel. Enjoy and Happy Friday!

Buying eco-friendly products is important to changing the market and encouraging a need for stylish, safe products. Hammocks & High Tea has a great collection of earth loving products that will still make your home stylish and bright!  You can set your table with vividly printed placements and napkins that are made from 100% certified organic cotton or cotton canvas. They are printed with water-based non-toxic inks and sewn to order to minimize waste. LOVE!
