Silhouette Plates

How cool are these? I'm really loving Andrew Tanner's silhouetted collection... they look really beautiful against both stark and contrasting backgrounds. He's London-based though, so expect London prices. Some really great work though. Take a look.

DIY Inspiration

My favorite LA-er just sent me her most recent DIY project and I couldn't help but post it. This past weekend a friend of ours dropped off this piece for her to take in and refurbish for her apartment. It had a cracked mirror encased, chipping paint, and was about to be tossed in the trash. So she disassembled it, took out the mirror and replaced it with a vintage floral fabric, and repainted the wood. Home Depot is the best and mixed her a "Rolling Hills" shade of green for only $2.99. A typical can like this will paint about a 4x6 area. Then she just nailed it all back together and hung it up in her kitchen! What an awesome weekend project. I love it! Well done, bud!

I would really love to see more peoples' DIY projects, so please send them my way at ccethompson@gmail.com and I'd be delighted to feature it. Happy Tuesday!

Wall Art Arrangements

I need inspiration. I'm knee deep in figuring out what to do with our new living room walls. The possibilities are endless!... (Well, not really. The space actually is pretty limiting, which is making this search all the more intriguing and frustrating!) My roommates think I'm nuts. Which do you like?
