dashing diys

i'm going to begin collecting diy ideas in the hopes of one day employing them in my own home.  i really like projects that make use of industrial and reclaimed elements.  here are a few that caught my eye:

getting excited about scout & catalogue

scout & catalogue is one etsy shop that i will definitely be following.  they've just posted their summer lookbook so be sure to check it out!  

diy table

those tables from yesterday's post reminded me of this little creation by debi van zyl:

poured concrete slab top, hairpin legs from ebay!

i love the texture that the wood grain leaves on the concrete and the simplicity of the hairpin legs.

ink stains

there's a recurring theme i see and i think i like it.  i feel a diy coming on...

sunday tea

Hermés has opened a new shop in shanghai called shang xia.  the interior was created by famed architect kengo kuma and the brand is run by shanghai designer jiang qiong'er.  the walls and ceiling of the shop are draped with a shape-retaining, hexagonally cut cloth that gives an airy, cloud-like feel.  the rest of the store is minimal but rich, displaying delicate porcelain teaware, capes made of cashmere felt, and fine jewelry.  what's not to love?...as usual.

weekend getaway

I'm totally inspired (and a little jealous) of kristiana spaulding at silver trailer. reinventing the interior of an old airstream has been on my wish/to-do list for a long, long time. she has a collection of them and they're for rent...

happy friday

these boots are made for walkin

i am not a fashion blogger but every once in a while i come across something so finely crafted or put together, something has to be said. my fiancé just returned from a weekend in the hill country outside of austin, texas where he couldn't help but notice the boots worn by his camping compadres. crafted by hand, these are some fiiiine lookin boots by HELM

i particularly love the way the gentleman in the first picture has folded the boot into a cuff under his jeans.
