Himmel Über Berlin

This is a brilliantly executed typography study, {Himmel Über Berlin} by {Jan-Patric Metzger} How cool is it that this was done photographically!?

Abisko Washbasin

These are the {Abisko Washbasin} from {Eumar}. This is a new concept for modern lifestyles. With the focus on environmentally-conscious design and materials these days, this cast mineral marble washbasin brings in a connection to nature - also being inspired by waterfalls of the Swedish National Park Abisko. The sculptural form captures the freshness of mountain streams cascading down the sink and into the floor-level grill.

Ella Bella Boutique

These are just about the cutest things ever! So basically the {Snuggie} has taken the world by storm - so why not have one for babies!? Ok, so jokes aside I think these knit cocoons are adorable for a baby photoshoot prop :) Great alternative to a plain old blanket! These can be found on the {Ella Bella Boutique} Etsy shop by SimplyBasicDesigns.

Recycled Art

These works of installation art by {Tara Donovan} are so inspirational and look really cool too! She uses everyday manufactured materials such as tape, Styrofoam cups, and drinking straws to create these amazing large scale sculptures that create biomorphic forms. As far as her process goes, Donovan chooses the material before deciding what she will do with it. She has said that she thinks "in terms of infinity - of the materials growing and expanding." I came across her work on the {2Modern Design Talk Blog}

Elizabeth Rosas Jewelry

Check out these beautiful pieces by {Elizabeth Rosas}, a jewelry designer in San Francisco, CA! I love these necklaces - especially the organically shaped linked circles. They are soldered together, hammered, and oxidized to give them that dark color. The contrast between that and the gold filled chain is perfect. The reason I like this so much is because of its uniqueness and the fact that each piece she makes will be slightly different - the beautiful part about anything handmade.

White Flower Hedge and Carnation Spheres

This was a very unique wedding reception at Maryland Walk in Clayton. The bride came to us with a vision of a flower hedge for the head table and round carnation spheres for the bar. Here is what we arranged for the event.

The ten foot flower hedge lined the table and made a great arrangement for the head table.




Gerber daisies, hydrangeas, roses, carnations, and spray roses were all included in this flower piece.

The guest tables were accented with rectangle vases filled with tall calla lilies.

The all white flower scheme worked well in this space with the bright pattered linens on the tables.

These large carnation spheres decorated the bar. The vases were filled with the bride's gumballs.

These arrangements stood over three feet tall with the 14-16 inch round spheres of carnations.

We had a great time working on this event! Special thanks to the bride and groom for having us be a part of their special day!

Heather Bailey Designs

Like {Amy Butler}, {Heather Baily} is a very talented designer of fabrics, sewing patters, and lots of beautiful creations. I just picked out a few of my favorites - I recommend checking out her site and her {blog} for more! Baily started college at the age of 17 in a Pre-Med program with plans to become a surgeon. She allowed herself one "fun" class a semester - her life changed after taking the History of Costume and Pattern Drafting. She graduated in 1996 with a degree in Apparel Design. A year later, she started Noggins, a children's hat company - eventually turning into a women's accessory line with her invention of Trash Ties hair accessories. Her adventures have led her to design fabrics, designer sewing patterns, and paper craft supplies.
