Mini hiatus


design zealot friends, I hope you will pardon my minor bout of radio silence of late. We've been working over here on a new logo/look and feel of the blog and simultaneously, both work life and personal life have been eating me up lately. Hoping to get some fun new stuff up soon - bear with me!

xo,
Shelley

Friday design finds 1.13.12

Well, how was your week my friends? I must admit, for me it was the kind of week that left me breathless, feeling scattered and crazed. But we got through it, didn't we? And now we have a delicious weekend ahead of us. I don't know about you but I'm planning to lay low and relax, nowhere I have to be, nothing I have to do. Divine.

Here are some pretty things to enjoy this weekend.

Eames rockers

Have you ever had a chance to see an Eames rocker in the flesh? A couple weeks I came across one while visiting Design Within Reach in Georgetown, in a gorgeous robin's egg blue. As many times as I've seen them in pictures, I wasn't prepared for how drawn I'd be to those aesthetically pleasing lines, those simple curves. I fell so hard, so fast, it was painful to leave the shop. It felt like I was leaving MY chair behind!

I know now that I will have one for my own one day. But in the meantime, let's take a look at some of these beauties in a few different spaces.








I know they're not for everyone but as an accent piece, they really offer a beautiful shape and pop of color. So! Are you in love too?

Do tell.
