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 […]

TED

by rosedeniz September 10, 2008 Art is Dialogue

Tweet I am allowed one TED talk a day. Maximum. Or I’m going to start chanting TED TED TED and avoid everything else I need to be doing. Truly, it’s amazingly addicting. For example, Brian Cox’s explanation of today’s much-discussed CERN Supercollider humanizes a project that is quite complicated and fascinating. Tara introduced me to […]

BurdaStyle

by rosedeniz September 10, 2008 design

Tweet I adore BurdaStyle, but wish there was someone who could make these projects for me instead! I would ask my mother-in-law, but she’s too busy chasing after Topi to sew things for me. I did drop off a cardigan and blouse that needed seams closed, and she agreed. Love this Wiesn Dirndl that was […]

Red Shoes

by rosedeniz September 5, 2008 design

Tweet I’m going to interrupt my apartment renovation saga to share my new red shoes. Nearly out of season at time of purchase, this 44ytl special instantly gave me blisters, but made me feel spectacular every time I looked at my feet. I am into a high-gloss phase, which would explain why we decided on […]

Paint palette

by rosedeniz September 3, 2008 design

Tweet After subjecting my friends to the review of several paint palettes, I think I’ve come to a decision of which colors to use in our new apartment. I’m still undecided about the yellow for my studio, and am considering a softer yellow, more like this one below, but I’m not sure I want a […]

Kvadrat Tile Wall

by rosedeniz September 2, 2008 design

Tweet Before:Kvadrat, which I write about below, has an interactive program to create your own tile wall. This might come in handy while we try to choose tiles for the entry way, kitchen, and bathroom. Or, I’ll just dream up cominations that are not possible for our 110m2 apartment. I love how the tri-color tiles […]
