Just another nice inspiration board photo.

obleeek.

I absolutely love plants - even though I got a case of the black thumb. Most of my pots are from ikea and then I have my cherished campy planter. I am thinking I might need one of these obleeek objects, maybe the bamboo version.
Not the biggest fan of their logo though, it reminds me of a cross section of an egg or something.

unlikely collections.

I've been thinking about collections lately, and interesting ways to display them. These two unlikely collections are great examples that there's beauty in almost everything: canes and cigarettes.

Do you collect anything?

The recently opened New York High Line is absolutely great! It's a park on an unused section of an abandoned elevated roadway. Wonderful.

surtido de revolución.

Yep, I'm obsessed.
