bottle chandelier

a local hang out/restaurant has this great bottle chandelier in their lobby. would be great in a loft over a dining table.

leaf wire art

these wire leaves make for great wall art and cast a cool shadow on the wall too. forgot to ask the price so not sure how much they are but saw them at the design center at palecek.

newgate bubble and cube clocks

saw these fun retro-y clocks by a british company called newgate and don't ya know you can get them on amazon too. i want one for myself but they would also be a fun gift for a friend that has great style.

funky rug: bow ties

it's retro. its silky. it's bow ties! yep, a rug made of bow ties. so ingenious. not sure it can go in a high traffic area but certainly a sartorial statement for your floor! another clever item seen in san francisco at flipp.

san francisco: everything here is wonderful

loved this framed san francisco map i saw at taylor stitch on valencia.

cool resin stool

really loved this resin-seat stool that i saw being used as an ocassional table. seems like you might actually be able to make this yourself if you had a cool vintage stool base you could use. this might need to be an upcoming diy project...

gorgeous reflections

oh boy oh boy do i love this light fixture. look at the gorgeous reflections it casts. sadly it will also cast dark shadows in your wallet as it costs ~$2400. but, if you need a statement piece, this outta help you out!

mad men-style simple bench

oh boy. fell in love with this simple, clean lines-style bench i saw at the flea market. my head was reeling with images of how i could have it reupholstered (which probably would be pretty cheap given it's simplicity). it could go from simple to simply chic. and this beauty was only $85!
