• Loving these pendant lights in iridescent blown glass (white or clear), each with a blue feeder cord. Actually loving more than just one. I’ll take that room too! The Bolla at Gineico.

• Modern eco-friendly furniture designed and made in Atlanta Georgia. Joe Manus calls it dirty, sexy, clever and dark. He named it Shiner (as in black eye). I call it stylish.

• It’s about snuggling up on the couch with a gorgeous pillow, using the good napkins everyday, having a pretty tea towel hanging in the oven door. It’s about Pony Rider.

• Futé, it’s French for smart, sharp, clever. Stunning contemporary lifestyle furniture. Summer lounging, drinks by the pool, hot furniture for a hot summer. 

• Just a taste of the magic that awaits you at Resign, a  collective of young designers based in Faenza (Italy) whose work is steeped in the symbolic value of objects. Wonderful pieces!

… what did I get my main squeeze? here

• Dreaming of Morocco ever since the Muskelil post. Now Cassandra has introduced me to Popham Design. Exquisite handmade tiles. OMG I love so much! Can I get away with a riad in suburban Australia?

• Speaking of Muskelil, I’m addicted to their rugs. Beni Ouarain, Azilal, Boucharaouet. It’s a new language but a primordial desire. Truly stunning traditional carpets. Rich texture, rich history.

• Christina Richards and Ty Cole are L.Bascom Gallery. Original fine art photography accessible to both novice and seasoned art collectors. Love them. Gritty to pretty, arresting and wonderful!

• Trying to find a place for one of these in my home. Ooooh the malachite green! Yum. Julie from belle maison has opened an online store Modern Chic Home. So many lovelies just a mouse click away.

• aLítill Terrariums. Beautiful organic glass shapes. Other worldly cacti and tillandsia. Glass and sand, air and just a touch of water. Love!

• Sumptuous silks and embroidered taffeta, cut velvet and colour, lashings of lovely colour. Couch specialises in producing exquisite furniture with a difference. Period furniture from around the world is transformed into pieces that are electrifying and totally unique.

… and I spent all day running around oblivious to it

• Sirocco Safari Chairs by Arne Norell. Milo Baughman Floating Cube Chairs. Deconet is a leading global marketplace focused on Modern Design and other decorative objects. Vintage objects from the best modern design sources worldwide. I’ve died and gone to heaven!

• The Hooky Monkey. Hanging around has never been so much fun. By Jon Martin Designs.

• Catherine Kullberg Lighting, Oslo now has a pure white version of her Norwegian Forest light. Thin white ash with white stain finish. Just perfect for welcoming spring!

• The Lovi Heart postcard by Anne Paso of Finland. Available here. Such a sweet and stylish valentine.

• Manvi Drona-Hidalgo of one of our fav blogs Mochatini has new prints in her etsy store. So pretty.

• Fresh and modern, pretty open line patterns, embroidery, cotton and linen. Camilla David Textiles’ range of home furnishing fabrics draws on her love of florals. So pretty and bright. Just right to ring in the coming change of season. Imagine lightweight flowery drapes blowing in an spring breeze. Refreshing.

• The top 50 travel spots for architecture buffs? See if you agree.

… in the shops already!

• Treasures and curiosities and all things delicious. I love these vintage one-of-a-kind Ralli Quilts from Pakistan. Colour, pattern, hand embroidered, comforting, cosy and lovely. See more gorgeous goodies at Pergolina.

• Found or made in the USA. The antithesis of the big box, cookie cutter look. It’s all about the meaning and sense of a space. It’s American Furnishings and I want almost all of it! Wonder if I can have it mailed over in small boxes to save on postage?

• Really loving the playfulness of the pattern and colours of these carpets, part of the Whimsy Collection at Tufenkian Artisan Carpets. Beautiful. A room is never complete without a rug. Ah if the budget only stretched to these. Yum.

• Now this is a perfect valentine! Anything from Madeline Weinrib. Rugs, pillows, a pretty pink purse. Oh honey are you reading this? I know I’ll be getting a bunch of flowers and maybe a chocolate heart and all your love but a girl can dream.

• Colporter – vintage finds, salvage, antlers, Hungarian grain sacks, old trunks, Routemaster bus blinds (always fabulous when real… I’m addicted). Catherine scours flea markets and the French brocantes for her website.  Signage? Old advertisements? Maps? Yes please.

• Lost City Products is a New York based design house that specializes in exquisite hand-made fabrics, pillows, scarves, bags and chairs. One word – sumptuous. No I need another word – sublime. Artisan masterpieces of silk embroidered on silk. I can’t show them in their true beauty here. The website is dangerous. Gorgeous fabric everywhere!

• The Alienation Bench (2008), a limited edition piece by Thos. Moser. Just a teaser to draw you into a website groaning with craftsman built fine furniture. Referencing fine wood workers of centuries past, it’s sculptural, simple in its beauty, a statement piece. Do I have a love a affair with wooden furniture? I do if the object of my lust and longing is a Thos. Moser piece.

• Naive children’s prints inspired by 50s and 60s. These cute modern yet retro illustrations by Swedish illustrator Ingela P Arrhenius are colourful, fun and perfect for finishing touch for a little one’s room. Available at  L’Affiche Moderne.

• The first of two British wallpaper collections in today’s winks. Beware the Moon what more can you say?! Ostriches with their heads in the sand, nude pinup girls, skulls and flock. Bespoke and very Brit. After all the British are the wallpaper kings and Beware the Moon takes the micky. It’s irreverent yet practical, a little blue but a definite statement, risky, risqué and fun. What do you think?

• Are ostriches the new zebra? No wait, zebra are still holding their own. With tennis rackets, cricket bats and ibises. Another British wallpaper range that takes a stylish dig at not only the national wall finish but also the culture. Turner Pocock with Catherine Cazalet. Ring your bell? Knock your bales off? Deliver the design backhand? It’s funky, it’s different…there are even polar bears! (P.S. Drooling over that wall sconce in the first picture.)
