count your pots: gardening by the numbers

plain garden pots + metal numbers + easy care succulents = fun outdoor patio wall display. and i totally dig the weathered diagonal wood wall slats.  wouldn't this be a great way to cover an ugly wall within your own outdoor space? as seen on the patio at flipp.

 

retro, handmade lamp bases

i like these retro lamp bases made of printers letter blocks and a surveyors measuring stick (i'm sure those measuring stick things have a unique name but beats me what it is!). seems like these could be home made but sure would be a lot easier to just go to flipp in san francisco and snatch them up!

hippy chick moroccan headboard

some hip chick can further increase her cool factor when she gets this moroccan-inspired headboard i saw at aldea.

coral mirror

i bet it's heavy but it is so beachy and airy looking. this faux coral mirror would be fantastic in a foyer or as a bathroom mirror. saw this at flipp.

 

light as a feather

these beautiful, feather-light prints couldn't be more precise in their detail. sold separately or as a set of 6, they are by artist roy barlota. (for sale at flipp in san francisco).

metal lattice chandeliers

...at least I think they were metal. regardless, these would look great with several in a cluster at different heights over a dining table.

mirrored dresser / console

happy new year!

love this console! i think this is an all new piece but wouldn't it be awesome to do something like this to a vintage piece of furniture that you find at the flea market?

handsome mid-century dresser(s)

i really liked this simple, clean-lines dresser.  they took an old mid-century modern style and hipped-it-up with a dark grey coat of paint and some brushed nickel knobs. you can see its matching taller partner peeking from behind on the right.  quite the handsome pair!

vintage signage table

another flea market table find: vintage signage on a vintage table base: vintage table

side view mirrors

someone took two different side view mirrors from cars, mounted them together to make one cool table top mirror.

bowling alley table

saw this at the flea market--a bowling alley made into a dining table. looks like it weighs a ton but is clever!

painted wood floor

simple design painted on a wood floor.

paint brush collection

i am not entirely sure where you might hang these in your own home but this was a clever presentation of a collection of paintbrushes as seen at an antique store.

living wall

as seen at the 2012 san francisco decorators showcase home, a fantastic living wall using a planter pocket system. not sure if this is the brand used here but it is similar to the woolly pocket.  so often you see these used within a garden area--i like that it is used at the entrance and creates a great visual barrier from the neighbors.

no parking!

oh my gosh! how awesome is this?!?! i saw this customized "no parking or you will be towed" sign on a garage in russian hill in san francisco. a picture is worth a thousand words. LOVE!
