an apple a day poster

MORGAN: What a cool idea by VikDesign! "Here's a quick and easy way to keep in tip top shape. Just peel the little variety sticker from every apple you eat and affix it to a square."

orla kiely

CARRIE: if we're going to talk about fruity artwork this week, we can't go without mentioning one of our favorites: Orla Kiely! so much to love about these apples & pears!

feeling fruity

MORGAN: Fruit icons and patterns seem to be everywhere...these hand-loomed, wool pillows from Jonathan Adler make a bold statement and just give off a bit of a fun, casual vibe!

MORGAN: I just loved the graphics on the soda bottles from Carrie's post on Wednesday-so I played with some bottlecaps of my own!

CARRIE: I was drawn to the cherries from Morgan's post from Tuesday, of course.

vintage buttons

MORGAN: i couldn't get enough of that buttons photo that started out the week, so i just wanted to share more button-love! { vintage button brooch at iwantvintage.co.uk & vintage button board on susanstar's flickr photostream }

vintage board games

CARRIE: I love the punchy color of these vintage game boards at three potato four.

Inke Walllpaper

MORGAN: Inke wallpaper silhouettes have a great color palette and and give a fun touch of vintage to a room! Each silhouette is hand cut and made from real vintage wallpaper - all of this is the result of Inke Heiland decorating her own children's room this way and then turning it into a business! check out her website here.

soda shoppe

CARRIE: In keeping with wedding ideas, great color and a little vintage flavor, I love this old fashioned soda bar. I want to try them all and then save the bottles! From projectwed.com

vintage wedding

MORGAN: There is something about this fabulous photo shoot for Brides Northern California magazine that reminded me of Carrie's photo from yesterday. I don't know if it's the flea market textures or the palette full of bright colors that seem to have been faded by the sun....but, whatever it is, i have nothing but love for it! I found these awesome photos from the talented photographer Lisa Lefkowitz and styled by the equally incredible Gloria Wong via the always-amazing style me pretty blog!

buttons

CARRIE: I think I was drawn to this photo from sfgirlbybay because of the color palette and textures of the buttons and dish. Happy Monday!

CARRIE: I pulled inspiration from the Wednesday and Thursday images. The chalkboard writing in the background of Thursday's combined with some of the color from Thursday and the linework with bits of color was also from Wednesday.

MORGAN: I used the color palette from Monday's room and my bookcase obsession from Friday's image to inspire the patterns for this week's original...I played in a multi-color range and a then tried a monochromatic version.

patina

CARRIE: I love the mix of metallics and the pretty, subtle palette coming in with the striped painting. from inspireplease.
