It’s part of a photo contest, ‘Rug-ged America’, celebrating Karastan’s 80th anniversary. Some of the top photography schools from across the nation have been asked to ‘make a statement’, and, as you’ll see, they’ve really risen to the occasion.” Check out the photos and vote for them here.

• • Rachel Burke from Balahu works to promote the arts in Philadelphia. She emailed to introduce us to glass artist Steve Hagan. “I love reading your blog because of all of the fascinating and creative pieces you choose to share. From the pictures that you have chosen for the blog, I see that every piece of furniture/color/print/accent, does its own job to communicate energy and creativity as a whole. Here is an artist that would most certainly add illuminating vibrancy and energy to any room with exciting bowls, vases, etc.” And she’s right. Steve’s work is amazing. While you’re at Balahu check out the other artists Rachel promotes.

• • This in from Lotta Jansdotter. “I would like to invite you to join me and my friends to do some fabric printing together. I have carved out some of my designs in rubber and potato stamps and it would be lovely if you wanted to join in and try them out. I will share some simple techniques and together we will print on cotton fabric swatches. There will also be wine, plenty of inks and stencils and happy music to get inspired by. It would be great if you can come!” If you’re near San Francisco or Brooklyn click here for all the details.

• • Charmingwall is just about the cutest animated website I’ve seen in quite some time. After you’ve stopped marvelling at the wonderful line drawings winding around the page you’ll realise that it is the online store of a New York gallery specialising in carefully curated limited edition fine art prints. And do the prints match the hype of the animated site? You bet! I want them all!

• The long awaited debut issue of the alt-country style+design webzine from Urban Prairie’s Chris Brown titled “REFUELED” is here! “I have felt for a long time that there should be a alternative magazine in the country arena.” said Chris, “I want to continue to blur the lines with country – continue to inspire a younger generation.” Each issue, to be published bi-yearly, will feature collectors, shows, designers, decor, style & music. Like Chris it’s just pure country class! Man you produce some great sh*t Chris!

• Oh my, oh my, oh my. Kadri Jugandi emailed us about Transparent House San Francisco based 3D and visualization studio. “Transparent House team presents its vision of the classic flooring material – concrete. We’ve created a way to refine a popular element of contemporary interior design such as polished concrete flooring. The design concept allows for application of any pattern to the surface either when poring or afterwards when the concrete has set. The fine floral ornaments promotes the clean and simple character of the space while adding a touch of warm and live contrast and highlighting the cold austerity of the material. It is always exciting for us to share our finding and our vision with you.” Gorgeous!!!! Want, need, must have. Thanks Kadri.

Wish I was in NY to check it out myself.

• Kim featured the beautiful work of interior designer Ami McKay here. Ami emailed to let us know of her other venture Pure. “I have found it difficult finding beautiful eco furniture when creating healthy and sustainable homes for my clients – so I decided to create my own.

Eco can be flattering!” Too many beautiful pieces to show here. You just have to go yourself but you have been warned. It’s fabulous!
