There Is
Nothing Wrong
in This Whole Wide
World

by Chris Cobb

dj... you know... i know... that you all used to mock my color coordinated bookshelves, and now everyone does it. Mine were never so colorful, but still...

sorry didn't call tonight... too sleepy.

{ & sorry - no photo creds on the sites i appropriated these images from }

l'arte publique

a friend of mine in new york just sent me this amazing image of a paper cut out that says 'PAPER' which is hung it from a crack in the ceiling on the subway, and depending on where you looked at it, you can see the fluorescent right behind it, or the shadow it cast from the light opposite... pretty neat.

i love the colors, and this gives me hope that the cell-phone snapshot could actually have some artful potential.

Domino House Tours : Jenna Lyons

I have been drooling over J. Crew creative director, Jenna Lyons', beautiful 1890s Brooklyn brownstone (featured in November's Domino.)  This is an incredible combination of turn of the century opulent architecture with a refined yet modern palette of light grey, white, charcoal  black (chalkboard paint!) and fabulous canary yellow. 

I am so inspired, in fact, that I am planning the redesign of my new Williamsburg studio around a very similar palette, incorporating accents of a vivid marigold yellow with the dark "greige" we used in our Chicago apartment (not that dissimilar from this blog's background color) and, of course, glossy white trim.

There are plenty of fabulous secrets to this style (such as how Jenna sprayed the brass bath features with salt water for a weathered effect) in the full story on  Dominomag.com.
