Eric Roth Photography

Catching up on sabbespot today, I found her post about a great living room with amazing wall stencils, but what really interested me about the photo was the photographer. Eric Roth is based out of Topsfield, Mass and his work is amazzingggg! Not only does he have a great eye, but the interiors and houses he's photographing are out of this world! I recommend looking through his portfolios on his website and taking it all in.

Kitchen Design

I've been assigned a project for my interior design studio at school to create plans of kitchens for a house of my own design. I love to cook, so I though I knew exactly what I wanted out of my own dream kitchen, but there are so many choices that it's difficult to decide! All I know is that I will definitely need lots of storage for all of my dishes and glassware (an obsession) and a giant gas stove!

Here are a few kitchens that are inspiring me!

Sorry about all of the Unknowns! I had a lot of these in an inspiration file that is pretty old...

Help support a sudent design project!

A few friends of mine over at the Olin School of Engineering have created a clock that will "change the way you think about time".

Named the iconic model 01, this clock uses pictorial images to help you visualize when you need to accomplish tasks, or just relax. The iconic provides a central magnetized clock face and has two different icon sets made from etched stainless steel that can be attached to any metallic surface. Use the icons provided or add even more with your own magnets and images.




Help support a great student led project and get one for yourself or a friend!

Visit their twitter page for a chance to get 10% your clock!

High Gloss!


If you haven't read the new High Gloss magazine yet, I highly recommend that you do! Their premier issue is jam packed full of spectacular design and yummy shiny things :) Bloggers Paloma Contreras of La Dolce Vida and Erin Gates of Elements of Style, as well as other lovely blogging ladies (and guys), have taken their impeccable design esthetic and great sense of humor and rolled them into a magazine that will truly inspire!

If you're new to the online design magazine phenomenon I also suggest that you check out Rue and Matchbook!

Dreaming of Summer

A lovely home in Croatia that is making me dream of warmer weather and summer clothes!





How amazing is that shower?? And those Lucite candles are fantastic! I must find out where they're from!

Octopus Chair!


WOW. While stumbling last night I found this crazy chair! It's amazing! Certainly a little wild for the average household, but imagine the possibilities for a moody office or man cave.
They are constructed by Maximo Riera from computer generated drawings and are produced into compressed foam that is then sanded and painted by hand. Such amazing detail!




Stumbled here, and the artist website is here.

New York International Gift Fair!

At the beginning of the week I had the opportunity to go to the Gift Fair with my boyfriend's mother who is an interior designer on Cape Cod and help her pick new products for her store in Chatham. I was so much fun!! There was so much to see that even with three days we didn't get through all of the booths.

There were pillows, bedding, rugs, throws, furniture, lamps, mirrors, books, accessories of all kinds!

The photos are of some of my favorites!
