Interesting Apparatus...

and by that, I mean Apparatus Studio has some of the most interesting lighting fixtures! The designers take found objects to create the most intriguing utilitarian light fixtures.

I can't wait to find the perfect client for these guys: 

Love the reuse of  the old rusted chains:

Oh, the wonderful world of Pinterest!

 This week on Pinterest I have learned how to clean my sterling silver in under 30 minutes without lifting a finger,

I have found at least 12 different ways to wear my denim blouse,

I have undoubtedly come across the best recipe for cooking Fried Green Tomato's

...and remoulade sauce

What in the word did I do before  the wonderful world of Pinterest?

See what else I've been pinning HERE!

Textile Designer Obsession...

I will forever be oohhing and ahhhing over John Robshaw Textiles. My most recent obsession is with his Kite Card Stationary; what amazing colors!

I am also thinking that I must have a few of his Block Print Drawings

I can picture myself waking up with these beautiful hand embroidered sheets and cases:

and living with his unique collection of decorative pillows:

A Dream Desert Oasis

Let me take a moment to share with you the things I absolutely love about the Southwest - the luxurious resorts!Specifically, the Amangiri - Aman Resort.


"Amangiri (peaceful mountain) is located on 600 acres in Canyon Point, Southern Utah, close to the border with Arizona. The resort is tucked into a protected valley with sweeping views towards the Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument. Built around a central swimming pool with spectacular views, the resort blends into its dramatic surrounds where deep canyons and towering plateaus create a raw landscape of immense power".

Apparently it is a huge celebrity hide out, can you blame them? This just made it to the top of B and I's southwest bucket list!
