Designer's Scrabble

I loves me some Scrabble. So when I saw this designer edition created by Andrew Capener as a student project, I fell in love. Typography and spelling! Two of my fave things! And on beautiful walnut too. If these ever go into production, I'm all over it.

29 ways to stay creative

I remember reading this somewhere in list form, but this appeals much more to the artist in me. :)

small battles

When we moved in, I noticed a small 3" x 3" block of plywood stuck to the ceiling in the corner of our bathroom. The bathroom had been renovated fairly recently, so neither of us knew what a small block of wood would be doing amongst the newly painted walls and such. I wanted to take it down, but didn't want to deal with the possible repercussions of that action... I mean, was it covering a hole? keeping the house from falling down?

 

Then, while cleaning out the bathroom fan the other day, Wade decided to rip it off - come what may! And behold... nothing. Just a few chips in the drywall from where it had been stuck. We were both baffled... but then it came to me: the previous owners had had an extendible rod with shelving in the corner of their tub, and they'd put the wood block up there for support. Insert deep sigh of relief here.



 

So many strange battles to fight when renovating a new house...

Abigail Reynolds

Maybe it's because I'm in the midst of home reno's, but these sculptural images from Abigail Reynolds really pull me in. I love the interior series, like the one above, but three or so pieces from the black and white bookplate series below would look beautiful on a dramatically coloured entrance hall.
