A bit 'o pretty for your Friday

I saw this bedroom on photographer Lucinda Symons' site and it has to be one of the prettiest bedrooms I've ever seen.

Shelly Reihl David

This is one of my favourite vignettes. It's the work of Shelly Reihl David. We've featured one or two of these images before. It's time to take a closer look at her portfolio. The scope of her firm's work ranges from dramatic European and Italian decor to the look of modern Hollywood glamour in a contemporary setting. Her rooms are glamorous and sophisticated and the use of colour is inspirational. At the same time these are livable spaces that have a sense of fun as well as drama.

Some beautiful photos from another London-based locations website.

How much does this guy love chairs???

I found these photos a couple of years ago when I was searching for ideas for a tattoo as a tribute to my grandmother. I've been thinking about getting another tattoo...and these tattoos by Nick Baxter suddenly popped into my head (although I would not get chairs tattooed on me - too weird). These are so well done it's incredible. The proud owner of these tattoos is a furniture design major. Go figure.
