Here’s a gem of a website that I’ve been tucking away because I adore it so much, I don’t want to share. Call it what you want, I suggest hoarding and/or being selfish, but I’m at a point in our relationship where I’m okay with letting you into my world of enchantment, also known as, Present & Correct. Enjoy.

I get it. We, designers, live by the Pantone Matching System. I love it too. PMS 812U, double hit of ink? I can’t resist it. PMS 428U? A classic. And while I try to avoid posting anything Pantone, we all have our soft spot. This is mine. BarberOsgerby takes the collection fo 48 Pantone colors used for architecture and interiors and produced them into stools.

Corn, corn its good for your heart, the more you eat them the more you…I need to mentally connect my dots today. Until then, I can visually do so with Edith Levin’s plates dishware.

Hell yes to long weekends. Hell yes to lounging in a swing cocoon with a mexican-inspired print. And a mega hell yes to reinterpreting already awesome plastic fold chairs into something even more amazing. Just looking at this makes me want to put my sunnies on.

I adore sleep. In fact, I have been known to yell absurd statements in a half-daze if you: 1.try and wake me up early on weekend mornings 2. hog the blankets 3. stand outside my window smoking cigarettes at 7 a.m. in the morning whispering, “lilliannnnnn, wake up.” I only want to wake up to the smell of bacon and pancakes. But perhaps if I had these pillows, I might be less grumpy-spice.

I wish I had these alphabet blocks by Alexander Girard as a child. However, they’d probably be slobbered in drool and these are too beautiful that kind of treatment. Produced by House Industries, Alexander Girard was an extremely talented graphic designer, textile designer and illustrator. Say I love you with these blocks. Literally.

Almost too beautiful to eat off of, these are The Middleton plates – each place is named individually – Doug, Janet, Claire & Perry. Design by Marco Cibola of Poketo. Absolutely lovely and can be purchased here.
