Pretty Pretty Beds
Check out this mahogany bed made with peroba rosa. Peroba is a recycled wood, reclaimed from 100-year-old Brazilian barns. Bizarre and random and awesome. We all know the green movement can tend either toward the granola, or the purely theoretical design student aesthetic. The stuff at Bluehouse is delightfully well designed and eco-friendly. Check out their beautiful armories and hard wood flooring. All eco-tastic and well designed.
Curbly - DIY Design Community
Curbly is a community based web site for ‘people who love where they live.’ The community seems uber friendly with users asking, and answering all types of home improvement questions. It’s got a slew of articles and interviews featuring interesting happenings in the design community, and how-tos ranging from grilling tips to wall hangings and image transfers.
Their get inspired section is particularly appealing, but be careful, you’ll have ripped apart your living room before you know what hit you. The best part about Curbly is it was founded right here in our little city that could: St. Paul.
Check it out, and support a couple of local st. pauli’s with fine taste.
Surface View
Surface View is a super cool little company out of england. They make bespoke wall murals. Pick your print, and send them the dimensions of your wall, and they send you your mural. There’s a bunch of retro-eque images. Think sunset wallpaper, but awesome. The website is also pretty cool, if a bit jarring. Nice use of liquid flash layout.
