Vase on Vase - DIY from Sweet Paul

Sweet Paul spruced up some white vases by taking a picture of a pattern on a traditional blue and white vase and then use photo paper to make it a new design on the original pieces.

Oh the clever creativity!

Space Envy

Sometimes you come across a space that really just makes you want it. I want this studio.
Love the clutter and the creativity.
Maybe I just really want to be Lotta Jansdotter.
This is her cool space. These are her cool creations.
Very fun and very inspiring!

Texture Feast

Toronto woke up to a flurry of snow today.

I got up in the early morning to use the bathroom and caught a glimpse of the white stuff falling outside my window. It was pretty out there but the best feeling was knowing I could climb back into bed and go back to being cozy. I have such a love-hate relationship with winter in this city. I love the snowfall but I hate the slush. I can deal with winter until about February. Then it's minus thirty degrees celsius and I'm pretty much over it. The extreme cold depresses me. All I ever want to do is stay home and read or watch movies. There are seasons for every activity, I guess.

I'm going to do some typing today. Not here. I'm going to sit at my new typewriter and hammer out a letter and post it overseas by the end of the weekend. I may even get around to doing some printing. 

I've planned a cozy and thoughtful day. Here's to letter writing and not catching cabin fever!

I found the images above and thought they were so inspiring. I love the detail of the textures and the tones. They are available at Lost and Taken, a site that provides free high res textures by Caleb Kimbrough. Good resource for some creativity, eh?

I first saw them here.
