Happy Weekend!

While I'm gearing up to head to ICFF next week (no rest for the wicked, as they say), I hope you'll enjoy some of my ramblings and goodies from elsewhere! It was a regular ol' color explosion this week on Curbly and Dog Milk, as you can see. Which, quite frankly, is my favorite kind of explosion.

It's art month on Curbly (yay!), and I'm putting together weekly affordable wall art guides! First up is a roundup of 10 awesome collage artists.

How to make your own paper pencils!

Last minute gift-giving? Try making a few of these cheery little DIY clay planters!

This colorful pup caught my eye this week. Isn't he adorable?!

20 gorgeous tea towels all in one place?? Yes, please!

We launched a brand new DIY column on Dog Milk this week called DoggIY! Check out this modern do-it-yourself dog crate coffee table.

I seriously cannot believe this DIY chandelier is made from plastic water bottles!

Possibly one of my favorite Eye Candy posts yet: 7 colorful, art-filled interiors!

It's raining cats and dogs, or just dogs in this case. I am totally getting one of these dog breed umbrellas (the schnauzer one, of course).

I love this colorful DIY woven bench idea.

And finally, this might be the best app ever created for dog owners or friends-of-dogs! Really.

See you Monday!

Green Kitchen Envy :: IKEA

I've had kitchens on my mind a lot lately (possibly because it's kitchen month over on Curbly - did you see my modern kitchen roundup?  Dreamy!), so maybe that's why I got super excited about these new cabinets from IKEA.  I mean, do you see them?!  They're mossy, chartreuse-y, lime-y perfection.  And they almost make me want to toss out my idea of painting our current cabinets white.  Almost.

What do you guys think?  Would you sport such bold cabinetry in your home*?

Rubrik Abstrakt cabinet fronts in green from IKEA: $93 - $127

*If you answered 'yes', you have to check out this gorgeous rainbow kitchen!

Ruy Teixeira :: Photography

Currently based out of Italy, Brazilian photographer Ruy Teixeira's work came to my attention via and I'm ever so glad it did!  I've been poring over his portfolio all day and have included a few of my favorite images here.  Be sure to check it out in full, though!  There are loads of great architectural, editorial, and even fashion images to be admired.
