2012: spring patterns

Oh my heavens, the weather is going to be nice soon! Spring might finally show up here in Minnesota. I think these vibrant pattern designs by Ashley G's are just the ticket for some spring sunshine.

Behold: the Linear Calendar by Marke Johnson. Not only do I enjoy the design and functionality of this calendar but I love the idea and reason for this calendar - "...when we reminded ourselves to think of time with a linear instead of a circular metaphor, each day or span of time felt a bit more precious, fleeting, and important to use well." I also realized that this is how I picture time in my head.. when I visualize time and dates, I seem them in a linear context. Another plus? Plenty of room for my scribbles!

HOME: magazine storage

Yikes. I am so very guilty of hoarding magazines... I blink and I have magically accumulated a whole stack. And, for reasons I can't explain, it's so hard to part with those beautiful glossy pages. But with a few of these ideas I might be able to hold on to my favorites for a little longer.

WORK: russell + hazel

Don't mind me, I'm just drooling over the beautiful things at Russell + Hazel. This place just goes to show that not all office + organizational supplies are created equal. Recipe books, page flags, binders, pens, pencils, portfolio cases.. so very tasteful and simple but enough detail to set them apart and make them unique.

WORK: laura trevey

Fun "fasion" illustrations/watercolors from Laura Trevey... I think I am especially loving the colors she used... Makes me want spring (and summer!) even more with this cold/rainy weather hanging around.

HOME: clear desk

For whatever reason, I have been dreaming of having a clear, lucite desk for my workspace... which is imaginary at the moment. But I think we can all agree that it's better to be safe than sorry so I need to be ready should the opportunity for a work space + clear desk knock at my door.
