i, on the other hand, admire you for your art (of course).

hence, the jon hamm coloring book.

... i've lived my entire life in california and i am a terrible surfer.

i believe that makes me totally uncool in a totally unironic kinda way.

amsterdam based artist, hagar vardimon-van heummen, likes to work with thread and paper.

and this makes me happy.

visit hager's website happy red fish and visit his shop here.

over the weekend, i found myself combing through apartment therapy's house tours and stumbled across the downtown los angeles loft of artist kelly reemtsen.

i've featured kelly's beautifully badass art a few years ago (vintage frocks and chainsaws...oh my!) and could not resist sharing her spacious and covetable loft. filled with vintage furnishing, paints and props, and her signature "kelly orange," miss reemstsen has created a perfect palace for inspiration and conjuring killer canvases.

more on kelly reemtsen's downtown live work space at apartment therapy.

proof positive that my soulmate lives in bulgaria.

sometimes i self-medicate simply by staring at well-designed psychology book covers. i'm easy like that.

especially when it comes in the form of a vintage robert indiana LOVE print.

ever since i found out movie stars stash their oscars in the bathroom, i thought why not display your finest treasures in the lovely loo?

from art to postcards, give your guests the gift of the unexpected lavatory gallery.
