Pinterst Post... Fun, Colorful, Crafty Reuses of Furniture!

 This brings new meaning to relaxing in the tub. This piece is a want for me! 

Alas.. I cannot give credit to this as I cannot find where it is! So bummed.

 Hello Color!Love this reinvention of furniture. Fun vibrant and ready to party. The Designer is Zoe Murphy from Marget, (in England) . She participated in the Mid Century Modern Show At Dulwich College in London. Read more here. A bit behind this times.. this show was over a year ago.

Love this.. my three new/old favorite colors. 

The Japanese firm Playmountain created this fun modular piece. You can see the modular part a little better if you click on the photo to see it bigger. Notice the multiple legs on the side. Read more here.

Enjoy!

Pinterest - Baby Style!

    I must have baby on the mind. I keep finding the cutest baby images, furniture and graphics. Either that or maybe I am just attracted to the people on Pinterest with cool baby boards. At any rate today I have for you a cool cradle, rocker combo. Maybe not the coziest thing for mommy or daddy to nap in while rocking baby to sleep but definitely a cool piece for baby's room. The next item on the docket is a very cool tree book case painted green to boot. Love green, love nature, love books. Perfect for my babies room. If I had another, that is. :) The last photo is a surprise. Wait, you scrolled didn't you? Oh, well. This is the cutest, black and white babies room with a huge graphic of a deer on the bedding. I love it! Makes me want to have another, just to have the room.

Enjoy the show!

So cool. Made by Ontwerduo.

(The logo, I could not recreate. You'll see what I mean when you go to the site. Check out the d.)

 What is not to love?  Especially the photo with the cute little boots at the base of the tree. Adorable. Unfortunately, I cannot give credit to this as the link takes me to nowheresville. boo. :(

 Yummy. I need another one just to have this room. How can one not be attracted to such a cool large graphic! This room is so rockin' it gets 3 clicks. 

A Cup of Jo - Where I found this first.

The Boo and The Boy - Where A Cup of Jo found it.

And finally the photographer. Kjerstis Lykke.. Thank you for such a great photo.

 Ok. I added a photo I know. Is this thing not a hoot! Ok, a cluck. Since it is a chicken after all.

I love the whimsy and color of it. As long as it doesn't scare the kids. :)

Found at the Modern House.

Made by: Hayon Studio.

Have a great day!  I am off to shower, shave and head to work. Pottery Barn for today. On another note. Sad news, my sewing machine died mid-burp cloth yesterday. Thankfully it sounds like it only needs a tune-up... and won't be going to the sewing machine pasture. 

Ciao for now!

Rocking Chair Heaven

    Well, I have a new pastime to add to my collection of blog reading, crafting, blogging, reading and sewing. Pinterest. (I first discovered this on Young House Love.. and am now seeing so many people I know in the Pinterest world that I am surprised it took me so long to hear about it.) This website allows you to "pin" images to boards. Similar to a cork board only with this, later when you click the image it will take you to the site where the image came from. Ahha! So, if it is a product you love, but cannot buy yet or a room you want to emulate but won't start construction for a few months you now have a place to save it and come back later. Genius. 

  Well, that leads me into my actual post.. because while scrolling through all the amazing images on Pinterest... I found this rocking chair. Amazing. I need to figure out if this chair is indeed in production as I truly must own this. This rocking chair is absolutely scrumptious. Imagine sitting in this on a day with a thunderstorm, reading a book and snuggling with your honey. Let's add a big cozy blanket, perhaps something cable knit to this. I am starting to doze off in my happy place just thinking about this. :)

    The designer is Markus Krauss based in Hamburg, Germany. The name of the chair is Sway

Well, I am going to go back to my dreamland for the day.
