It’s been a crazy month, with a short vacation and me getting pieces ready to ship for Fab, and although I haven’t been blogging much, I have been pinning! Here is a selection of some great stuff I found on Pinterest recently:

1. Carved stone basin: With grain and color that makes it look like wood, this is easy maintenance. I originally thought I was a marine grade wood piece, but either way, the shape is super.

2. Moss terrarium by themosserstore: If you’ve followed my blog here, you know I have a thing for terrariums. This one is a minimalist version that requires only a small amount of care. Great look for an end table, in a bookshelf, or in a grouping on the dining table.

3. Water bottle by Eva Solo: This bottle is made from BPA-free plastic (I prefer glass,) but the shape and the great loop handle in different colors makes this a winner.

4. Industrial barn door by Ochre: Combined with the polished concrete floors and clean modern furniture, this space looks pulled together and spare yet still very livable.

5. Amy Neunsinger photography for House Beautiful: I love everything about this. The photo itself is stunning with the light streaming in, the outdoor space is inviting with multiple seating areas, and the overall vibe is relaxing.

6. Sky High branding for Radisson Blu Hotel: I like the proportions and attenuated look of this type. Of course I was drawn to the image showing how the letterforms were constructed.

If you’d like to see more of my over 12,000 (really!) pins, feel free to follow me on Pinterest.

I’ve been a little slow on Twitter this week - things have been packed pretty full, but I try to check in when I can. I’ve found that using Flipboard to see if I missed anything big (especially tweets that link to images,) can really help me keep up to date. Here are a few things I found this week, from images to articles to a funny quote:

Spa House by Metropolis Design – This house makes me ready for a vacation - love the horizontality and the openness. via @designmilk

Strawberry sorbet – I love the simplicity of this recipe, and wonder if the at-home cook would make it look as appealing. via @thekitchn

Modern phrases we owe to Shakespeare – Spend some time reading this list, some of these are really surprising. via @brainpicker

Calligraffiti – Since I learned calligraphy at a young age, I have always been interested in lettering. This site runs the gamut from digital to in situ wall art. via @BlairThomson

Ben Brooks on Calendar Apps – I have a personal distate with the waay calendar apps are presented (please stop trying to look like a day-timer) and Ben Brooks nails it on this one. via @patrickrhone

And finally the quote:
Q: How many nerds does it take to ruin a joke?
A: So. Unless I’m missing something here, I think you meant “geeks.” And, “riddle.” Proceed.
via @hotdogsladies
Have a great week, Twitter!

Pinterest Picks: Mar 23

This week my picks run the gamut from interior to exterior, fashion to decor accessories. If you are interested in seeing more of my pins on Pinterest (I’m closing in on 12,000,) please check out my page here.

1. Gubi products interior shot: I am really loving this deep dark aqua/teal paint. It’s so dark that it works much like a grey wall and becomes less of a color and more of a neutral. Via Plastolux.

2. Modular planters at Good Erdle: Designedby Andrew Erdle, these shaped planters can either be placed to create a completed circle, or can be reversed to undulate across a table top. A set of three on an end table would be a lovely accent as well. I am loving the color of these succulents, but moss and small maidenhair ferns would look lovely as well.

3. Ash shearling lined leather jacket: Unfortunately this has been sold out, but I just love the combination of the distressed leather with the softness of the shealing interior. The asymmetrical zip and full collar creates great lines.

4. Hélène Binet’s photo of Peter Zumthor’s Bruder Klaus Kapelle: The play of light and dark without losing the distinction of the material texture inside the space is lovely. This highlights both the strength of the architecture as well as Binet’s photographic prowess.

5. Stepping stones across a shallow pool: I always love stepping over a water feature, but this one is enhanced by the vertical portion of the fountain to the side. The tropical lanscaping makes this space feel lush, yet controlled in it’s clear geometry.

6. All-Modern’s counter stool in walnut: I like how this is a large piece in solid wood but the shaping keeps it from looking too heavy. And I’m always a fan of walnut - it has the most neutral color - can easily lean warm or cool.
