Technicolor: Music, Lights, Fairy Tales, Design

My week in links, pictures, and articles. Except my week looked a whole lot more like the inside of a library and lots of economics, circuits, and manufacturing. But I'll spare you those pictures.

enjoy, InterWebs.

Isn't that gorgeous? The lovely Lillian of Unstitched and talented Danni of Oh, Hello Friend took their boys and put together this beautiful table for a rooftop date night in Mexico. Lillian was kind enough to share her photos with us, InterWebs!

This sweet setup leaves me speechless. I would SO eat just about anything at that table.

Read the article about this single person submarine. Maybe I should trade in my jet-pack...

OH MY GOODNESS. I am begging you to go read this note and other ridiculous Notes from Chris. They absolutely slay me.

Yunyeen Yong designed these colorful juice boxes. A) I want kiwi juice, B) These are bomb. If they had had these around when I was a kid, CapriSun would've been toast.

That's what I always tell myself, too! [because otherwise nasty road-rage bRob comes out...and no one wants that,]

The dream-like photographs are part of a dynamic series entitled Misadventures.  Don't they make you want to go exploring? Go visit Matt Sartain's website to view more, and learn how the photo above was compiled at Mr. Sartain's blog. 

Each one of his photographs feels like its own fairytale, no?

I love passing on little InterWeb addictions =)

I am such a fan of twinkle lights above a bed. They are so sweet. Fun fact: I plan on having twinkle lights at my wedding. I think. Pics via apartment therapy.

...And speaking of lights:

Check out these beautiful and modern lights. I wanted to post a picture, but I couldn't figure out how...It's ok. I trust that you're curious enough to go check out Bocci's incredible lights on your own.

...And speaking of lights...again...

This is pretty amazing. Apparently, in theory, this is a DIY project. I don't imagine I could ever really create this chandelier without a lot of injury, sparks, and property damages.

Another creative use of small space. In case you haven't noticed, living in small, tiny spaces is the new megaTrend. It's greener and cheaper and, honestly, cuter. How fun is that lofted bed?

While minimalism is far from my aesthetic (does clutter count as a design aesthetic?), I think we can all agree this is a pretty cool setup.

I'm pretty sure working at InventionLand would drive me bonkers. What a wacky and creative work environment... I couldn't handle it. Read the article at mymodernmet.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

Eye Candy

Ok, this is not a substantial post.
I just wanted to share this crazy neat blog I ran across the other day: Oh, hello friend. Check it out on my sidebar>>>
This post  is the best - I want to take every single one and put into a megaDesktop. The pictures  make me feel a little mushy inside, they're so pretty. Check out the castle on the rocky cliff about five down. It kind of reminds me of my sweet dream hotel,

Beautiful pictures, awesome way to waste spend time. I occasionally love design blogs, even though I'm pretty much the least artsy person on the planet.

True story: one day in Girl Scouts or something, we had to make a craft for our moms for Mother's Day. I was really really really terrible at crafting (I mean, my writing looks like chicken scratch - I practically have to use wide-ruled paper), and my project looked seriously warped. So I had a friend help me. With my mother's day present. Because I couldn't make it. My mother was kind of offended that I didn't make my own mother's day present. Hah.
Well, in retrospect, you can see why I've gone into industrial engineering...learning to use your resources as efficiently as possible? Check. Why would I make something someone else could make so much better?

right? [worst daughter ever award goes to...]

ok. Over and out.
