i heart bookcases

MORGAN: I don't know what it is, but I'm a sucker for bookcase arrangements...not to mention that lucite table...I'll take all of the above.

mix it up

CARRIE: I love it when people successfully combine patterns for a unique look. This photo is from the website of Canadian House and Home Magazine which is full of great images.

white + bold

MORGAN: I'm liking big areas of white with hits of bold colors! (both found on flickr)

funky florals

CARRIE: If there is one thing I love to daydream about, it is certainly home design. This image is from the Living, etc. Magazine website. Their inspiration gallery is loaded with eye candy!

room inspiration: cool colors

MORGAN: Alright, I thought I'd switch it up a bit this week and pose a new kind of challenge...how about each day we post some fun house-type research and at the end of the week, we pick one of them to inspire a surface pattern for our original post!? {this photo from the late, but oh-so-great Domino magazine via flickr}

MORGAN: a little sunburst pattern for today's original!

CARRIE: Just some all-over sun action coming at ya.

La Fonda del Sol

MORGAN: I have been in love with these since they launched, so I'm excited we have an appropriate theme this week to share! FLOR interprets Alexander Girard's (widely considered one of the greatest colorists and textile designers of modern time) iconic designs into carpet tiles!! how much would you look forward to coming home each day if this was your floor?!

CARRIE: I love this sunny elephant! From FreyaArt's etsy shop.

CARRIE: Sunny Small City Print by Blanca Gomez available at Velocity Art and Design. The rest of Blanca's work is wonderfully whimsical as well.

MORGAN: I wait for it all year, but this poster couldn't say it better--it's summer, and it's time to "Let the Sun Shine In"!

ferm LIVING

CARRIE: Cool geometrics from ferm LIVING.

Matthew Rich

MORGAN: cut paper art by Matthew Rich!

make a paper world

CARRIE: I thought these paper shoes and cuff were cool examples of geometry in fashion. They're from a collaboration of ndeur and make a paper world on behance.net. They state their mission as having to do with "communication, based on the do it yourself culture , the work of volume and composition in 3d."
