gladsax nightstand

i have mentioned before that i love furniture that leaves no footprint, which is why this gladsax solid oak nightstand would be perfect for me. it’s manufactured by swedish company hildurs hus, and measures 48 cm h x 32 cm w x 28 cm l (about 19″ h x 12 1/2″ w x 11″ l).

to me this is quintessential scandinavian design, thoughtful, sturdy and clean.

purchase a pair for $435.15 at the scandinavian design center.

sarajo frieden illustrations

i am cuckoo for coco puffs about the gorgeous artwork from california artist sarajo frieden. she uses a combination of pencil, gouache, collage, acrylic paint and other media to create her richly vivid illustrations. sarajo’s client include american express, gourmet magazine, the washington post and unicef. she’s also received recognition and awards from american illustration and society of illustrators. you won’t be surprised after you take a peek:

i love her nearly decadent, bejeweled color palette, flowy yet strong lines, nature themes and positive, inviting energy that is coming off these pieces.

i’d also love to see that reading is cool print (made using adobe illustrator) in every library around the world.

check out her blog here and purchase her prints there.

laguna luxury wood tub is truly a boat

from the mixed up files of mrs. basil e. really-want-this-but-couldn’t-afford-it-in-a-million-years, i give you this gorgeous wooden bathtub collection from swiss yacht building company laguna. these designers are all about ergonomics and the finest craftsmanship. their wood veneer selection, which includes mahogany, wenge and walnut, is chosen from designated forests that have controlled felling and reforestation. layers upon layers of veneer are high pressure pressed together and covered with resin, then finished with a special varnish able to withstand extreme conditions. currently, there’s the freestanding pearl, the spa (which has an oversized edge filled with pebbles for integrated overflow) or the rectangular basic.

laguna is pleased to outfit these models with jacuzzi jets, as well as install any of their styles on your yacht. see more images and get more info on their website.
