prettypretty.

Filed under: stuff, love, random — meg @ 9:25 am

I’ve written about design here before, and I’m still obsessed.

I just love lovely things.

I’ve been working lately on finding some images and colours on the web to inspire my future site design, and in the midst of my search? Oooh, the things I’ve found and the places I’ve been! I’ve been in a design twitter!

I guess it helps that I have eclectic taste… it means I am both picky AND easily enchanted (don’t even try and wrap your head around that… I’m the same way with men.)

So I thought I’d share a little, for the fellow design nuts out there:

  • These plates make me want to serve strawberry cheesecake on the deck in a dirndl skirt.
  • I would love to have this in my room, and stack it with celadon jars.
  • If I had a valentine, he might give me this. And this, because somehow I ended up with little wrists. If I had a neck, he might even get me this. But, unfortunately, my head just floats around on my shoulders like a roulette ball.
  • This would make me feel like I was starring on the Partridge Family. And then I would surround myself with these.
  • This side table for my bed would not clash with my great grandma’s oak writing desk.
  • I shall lie upon a pile of these and think natural thoughts.
  • This might make me smile on rainy days.
  • I shall buy this for my next knocked-up pal.
  • Oh, the happy.
  • And a tiny Etsy freakout: this would be marvelous with jeans, a white t-shirt and ballet flats; this would look lovely under a crisp white shirt; these could be great staples for my danglies; I could write a thousand thoughts in one of these.

So what is prettypretty to you?

    somehow i ended up without any design sense whatsoever…if there is a gene or chromosome upon which the ability to decorate is coded, i missed out on that one. all the links you listed are prettypretty; can you come decorate my house for me?

    I decided I should buy myself something pretty for Christmas so I got myself this:

    I just love your style. Can that be my prettypretty too? I especially like the Japanese Sakura influence in some of those items. And the white birdies. Yes, surrounded would be bliss.

    And can I just continue to steal others’ styles by saying that Lisa, I love all three of those things! If you feel like buying an extra of each….

    Those pillows go perfectly with those plates.
