Puddlejumping: design edition
Are you ready?
As part of my daily design routine, I check a various array of design blogs. Mostly because it’s a ton of fun, but also to keep me sharp, and to see what’s going on in the world. Like a banker reads the financial times. (Well, lately everyone reads the financial times… but you get the analogy).
So, this morning I was on Bloesem, looking at pretty stuff like this:

(Which is from Elsa Wiklander)
…When I decided to look over on Bloesem Kids, which I think is pretty self explanatory. I saw this!
*Who wouldn’t want that in their house? It reminded me of this! Because I think I’m obsessed with stairs. So I wanted to know who had come up with it, and I followed the link to the seventy tree: the blog where it had been originally featured. Unfortunately, I never did find the stairs. I was distracted by all sorts of other cool stuff, like **this white apartment that I ADORE:

(The apartment was in turn, originally featured on Sköna Hem, which I can’t read.)
Also the seventy tree, I found this post about a company called Moonmum. Moonmum is owned by a designer named Belinda Moon from Australia, who designs custom cards with printed papers. Cards like these:
Why is this significant, you ask? Beyond the fact that they are really cute cards, here is why they are significant. Do you see the printed papers that she used?
They’re mine.
And that is how it works.
*Ok, so someone with common sense would not want this in their house. Unless they like their children to come in shades of purple, blue, green, and gash.
**I clearly do not think in terms of children, do I? A white house with kids would be a disaster. But it’s SO PRETTY!

Oh. My. Goodness. I am definitely getting one of those. I wonder how complicated it would be to install. Hmmm… Gotta work out the logistics before I buy a house. I’ve probably only got… five years or so.
