Ceramic Eye Candy...

I recently discovered ceramics artist Pascale Girardin.  No doubt you've passed by and admired one of her large-scale architectural installations {there are 80 worldwide... from Nobu in NY, to the St. Regis in SF, to the Four Seasons Golf House in Dubai}.  This particular installation in the Paris department store Printemps is absolutely stunning...

Lucky for us she's producing tabletop versions of these ceramic floral beauties.  Prices range from $20 - $120. A few of my favorites...

Cords Be Gone...

Hiding unsightly cords from all the electronic devices we are addicted to {yours truly included} poses all kinds of decorating challenges.  Then genius people come along who invent genius things...

The Hermes Scarf...

Loved Kristin Kerr's post {Simply Smitten} this morning featuring Japanese interior designer Yasumichi Morita {as captured by The Selby} and was inspired to think about a forgotten framed Herme's scarf that I have tucked away in a guest bedroom..

{via}

Here's mine... 

It once had a prominent place in my office/work space... I've since moved from on from there and it's landed itself on an out of the way wall that I rarely see day-to-day... after looking at the photos from The Selby, I'm inspired to reinvent it.

A few more inspiring ideas...
