    Cute Things To Put Stuff In

    image
    Amber Fijolek on июн 22, 2009 2:18 PM PDT
    Sometimes you've just got too much stuff. Or, perhaps, sometimes it just feels like it. As a girl with a problem with misplacing things (my friends like to apply the term "loser"), there's no system I haven't tried when it comes to organizing all of my loose ends. Fittingly, I get excited when I see things that can contain my things. Especially if they're cute things that I can put those things in. When your recycled shoe box just isn't doing it for you and your home, there's a basket, box, bucket, cup, or tray out there to bring your room (and your pile of things) together. Now, it may not help you find where your things are -- for me, there's really no hope there -- but at least it'll help you express and articulate what impeccably good taste in decorating you have!

    Which Whitney Art Party Look Gets Your Bid?

    Lisanne Silverman on июн 20, 2009 9:18 AM PDT
    The Whitney Contemporaries Art Party And Auction held last Wednesday at NYC's Skylight left me with two burning questions- one, isn't every Whitney party an art party? And two, what was up with Hana Soupkova's dress? In case you weren't already aware, the Contemporaries are a group of art patrons who support the Whitney's dedication to up-and-coming talent and innovation. They're also granted full access to the NYC art scene-- not such a bad gig. The event was essentially a who's who of the dynamic New York social scene, with Lydia Hearst and Tinsley Mortimer mingling amongst the likes of model Hilary Rhoda and actress Camilla Belle. I've narrowed down the most noteworthy looks to a mere three- read on to vote and let us know which look get your bid! Photo credit: PR Photos

    Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall...

    Amber Fijolek on май 24, 2009 5:19 AM PDT
    Let's be honest -- we all kind of love checking ourselves out. Whether we're sneaking a peek in the reflection of a street-side window, or openly (well, privately, really) gussying up to dance and sing in front of an imagined-audience-of-many, mirrors play an important part in our lives. Hell, I'm not sure many of us could go a day without seeing a mirror at some point. The best mirrors, however, are ones that are beautiful on their own, without the help of our lovely selves standing in front of them. And the best of mirror-makers are those that consider themselves artists, creating wonderful masterpieces that sometimes seem better fit in a gallery than, say, above your bathroom sink. Turn your home into a gallery that bills your face as the main attraction with the interesting accents that these artists have designed to make these mirrors of our pretty faces. Check out this slideshow to take a peek at some of the coolest mirrors out there!

    DIY thing on май 17, 2009 5:18 AM PDT
    Have you been reading 3Rings lately? This design blog has a host of reviews about the recent exhibitors at the May 2009 BKLYN DESIGN Show in Dumbo. There are lots of great interviews and videos as well. There's even a piece highlighting one of our favorite Brooklyn designers, Daniel Moyer of Daniel Moyer Designs. 3Rings offers reviews of a range of product designers, from Warp Designs' Perforated Steel Vases to the delicate lamps of Levent and Romme. We really love the many designers who are using green design principles - check out the fun bamboo plywood furniture from Boo-Coup. Alicita Rodriquez introduced us to two great wallpaper designers - Shanan Campanaro and Jill Malek. Campanaro's Eskayel line is based on her original artwork. And, Alicita, we agree, Jill Malek's hand-screen printed wallcoverings are enough to make one swoon. Check out our slideshow to see some of our other favs.

    Hot In The Hive: Crayon Rings

    image
    Anna Yu on май 6, 2009 6:22 AM PDT
    Some of my fondest childhood memories involves opening up a brand new package of crayons and attempting to color inside the lines of my dinosaur coloring book. The days of using coloring books may be long gone, but who says we can't still use crayons? Boston-based Converse "idea" designer Timothy Liles certainly keeps busy outside of his day job! He recently created crayons shaped into rings that come in eight basic colors. The playful rings have a pointed tip at the top of the ring in a traditional diamond-like shape which you can use to draw finer lines. Why choose between form and function when you can have both? The rings only come in size 7, so if your fingers can't fit them, I'd string them into a necklace. Don't worry, any marks you make will be washable!


    Price: $50
    Who Found It: facadeindreams was the first to add the Crayon rings to the Hive.
