Architecture: Exterior Stripes

Apartment Therapy posted this house yesterday and it definitely caught my eye. "Frank Lloyd Wright once said "The horizontal line is the line of domesticity." While we're pretty sure he was referring to something other than colored stripes on the exteriors of homes, this house on the East Side of Austin always catches our attention when we drive by..."
There seem to be mixed reviews on AT about this house. What do you guys think?

Lighting: Corona Outdoor Lighting

I am so in love with Emi Fujita and Shane Kohatsu’s brand new Corona Solar Light, "an outdoor lighting solution that combines a photovoltaic cell, LEDs, and sunflower-esque form to bring a lovely solar-powered glow to your outdoor spaces." I think they look a little mushroom-like as well as sunflower-esque and think they would be an awesome additon to any yard! (via Inhabitat)

Etsy Lunch Hour: Rainy Monday

Rainy days on Monday always get me down. Well, at least that's what Karen said. It's a dreary, rainy Monday here and I'm snuggled in my chair with a bowl of chili and crackers...just finishing a huge project that I have been working on for the last month. Here's a few etsy finds that share this Monday feeling.

I love all of the furniture by Orla Kiely at Heal's. Pictured are just a few of my favorite table/storage pieces.
