New Pillows from Khiti

Nikki Martin a designer/artist based out of Brooklyn is back at Poppytalk Handmade this month with some new pillows added to her collection Khiti.  You may recall her a while back and her adorable popular Missing Sock posters.  I'm loving these latest silkscreen designs of hers which were created from an illustration and then hand printed.  Nikki studied Interior Design at Pratt Institute in New York and eventually gravitated towards print design. The inspiration for her designs comes from nature, photography, fashion, interior design and architecture. Check out more from her shop including other prints at her table at Poppytalk Handmade or online below:

Shopping in Norway: hviit

I came across a really nice shop online over the weekend from Norway called hviit.  They have so many "new to me" things, maybe you actually have to go see too?  I was excited to find out they sell internationally as well.  This wall pocket called appropriately enough Wally would certainly tame the chaos in our house.  And see that owl pillow in the corner?  That line also makes some really sweet children's bedding (think night adventures with the forest's biggest teddy bear) which I posted about today on at Babble.  Really nice stuff.

The Color PINK...(Via Made By Girl)

Welcome back everyone! How's your day going so far?? 


Things are pretty good over here.... minus the SUPER windy weather! My Goodness! Anyway, I haven't been out of the house today except to walk my dogs...I feel a bit housebound!  When I'm at home & start to feel BORED I begin to imagine what kind of projects I could tackle. Whether it's design related or not....it's a strange form of inspiration... boredom....ever FEEL that feeling!? Inspired out of boredom?! I know I do.

Well, today I started thinking of the color pink & how it's inspired me throughout my own life. Ever since I was a little girl, Pink was was one of my favorite colors. These days I gravitate toward this color in all different shades from coral to magenta. In fact, most of the paintings from my upcoming Cocoa & Hearts shop include different variations of pinks! 



How do you feel about the color PINK? Is it in your top favorite colors?

Cote Sud

Loved these images from the french website Cote Maison. Go on and take a look, plenty more colorful images! Its a bit difficult if you don't know french though, so good luck! I LOVE that gold sofa its such an immense piece of furniture, although this one was part of a hotel lobby. I could totally see my Gold Horse pillow on it!

Pretty Pillows by Mua

I've been working on some new home decor, PILLOWS to be exact. I came up with several designs and here are a few that I'll be selling through my website: MadeByGirl. I currenlty only design and sell coffee tables but thought I'd incorporate some of my tables designs onto pillows. Some of the designs are hand painted on faux suede and some have beautiful antique brass studs. I can't wait to show them all to you!

Heather Dunbar where are you??

I was re-arranging my home office and throwing away a few magazines....I know unbelievable. But I have sooo many. Anyhow, I looked through an old issue of Domino magazine and noticed these cool graffiti pillows by Heather Dunbar. I haven't been able to find a website for her. So if anyone does please let me know. I really like them and better to have graffiti as decor then on side of buildings etc. Finally graffiti put to good use!
