DIY: Concrete Planters



I've been tempted to dabble in the world of concrete for some time now, but this concrete planter DIY just might make me make actually try it.  I love the simple step by step instruction HERE on how to make concrete planters from food storage containers.  I have a whole drawer full just waiting to use as templates!

Accessory: Raining Lights Rug


Yes, it's totally impractical and too luxe for me, but I could see this Raining Lights rug with Swarovski elements by SAHRAI being breathtaking in the right application.  I thought this a suiting companion post to the Wolf Gordon Swarovski wall covering post from yesterday.  (via design/milk)



Architecture: Roberts Residence


The Roberts Residence by Division1 Architects.  I love the combination of the warm wood and steel facade.  (via design/milk)

Finish: Wolf Gordon



Wolf Gordon is one of my new favorite wall covering companies.  Above is their new pattern Transport that is a cool, almost Native American meets woodgrain look and below is Glow that is also available with Swarovski crystals applied in altering diamond patterns on top.  I have a little piece of both of these pinned up at my desk just waiting for the right project.

Accessory: Place for Trace


I could really use one of these for my desk at work.  Place for Trace, available through Merchant No. 4, is the perfect desk top accessory for those of us that use trace paper on a regular basis. It even has little holes for your sharpies, color pens, and pencils!  (via swissmiss)
