On my nightstand

by rosedeniz September 18, 2008 nesting

Tweet I’m not procrastinating, I’m willfully ignoring the fact I’m over-committed. So rather than dwell on it, I played around with my super state-of-the-art four year old digital camera and took overexposed and blurry photos of my nightstand and studio. Exciting! On my nightstand: Imagining the Turkish House: Collective Visions of Home, by Carel Bertram, […]

London Fashion Week from my couch

by rosedeniz September 18, 2008 design

Tweet While I sit at home wearing orange sweatpants I bought at a bazaar three years ago, a periwinkle-gray-blue shirt, and navy blue orthopedic slippers (my poor feet!), let me comment on London’s Fashion Week. Ahem. This will be good, I promise. I am mainly interested in color, so these designers popped out at me […]

Pantone Spring 09

by rosedeniz September 18, 2008 art

Tweet Look what’s coming, everyone! Seeing as our color tastes are chosen way in advance of the approaching seasons (thanks, Pantone!), I thought I would share two of the upcoming spring color trends, Super Lemon and Palace Blue. Love the lemon, will be saturating my studio in a similar color, and the Palace Blue is […]

Color chart

by rosedeniz September 18, 2008 nesting

Tweet I found the color charting in the New York Times of the Wall Street firms’ descent into loss oddly similar to Marshall’s Most Preferred Colors chart (I promise this is the last time I will post something on Marshall’s until I have the actual paint on the walls!). Does someone consult a color expert […]

Gretchen Wagoner

by rosedeniz September 17, 2008 art

Tweet Gretchen Wagoner was featured on Design*Sponge today, and I fell in love with her work. Reading her blog was very engaging, too, and seeing her work in progress. These pieces were posted in December 07, but I liked them so much I’m sharing them now. We’ve both got Wisconsin roots, which is why I […]

Pink bedroom

by rosedeniz September 16, 2008 nesting

Tweet Sometimes I don’t want to write a new post for awhile after adding something really important to me, like my mother’s aprons. But I want to close the night by sharing the pink we’ve chosen for our bedroom (we decided not to do blue) from the Marshall Key catalog (above, in a kitchen setting […]

Aprons

by rosedeniz September 16, 2008 nesting

Tweet Two of my mother’s aprons found their way to me this year. This might not seem like a remarkable thing, but my mother died in 1985, and without consulting each other, first my grandmother, and then my aunt, sent me a apron my mother had made over 23 years ago. And both within four […]

Maria’s Serving Bowl

by rosedeniz September 15, 2008 design

Tweet This gorgeous, hand-painted and fired serving bowl is available from Nest ($40). Maria, the designer, used her microfinance loan to buy a kiln in Mexico that enables her to make beautiful, safe pottery to support her family. I love the glossy black and white floral in a solid earthy clay bowl. I can imagine […]

Wonting florals

by rosedeniz September 14, 2008 design

Tweet Oh Joy! blogged about these lovely set of floral prints from wonting. Blogging about something I would love to have is nearly as good as owning it, but in this case, they would look absolutely great in my soon-to-be-aqua kitchen. I must wait until I finish framing a small stack of stitchings before I […]
