I love these pieces from designer Ditte Lerche dubbed "Skin + Bone". Ms. Lerche is textile/knitwear student at the Danish Design School in Copenhagen, who created the furniture below with fellow design students Pil Bang Fischer and Josephine Dohlmann. The collection will be exhibiting in Stockholm in February. Visit to explore more of her work.

If you're looking to add some removal art pieces to a certain blank wall in your home then take a look at these interesting pieces in Arkitip's Bodega series. The series is a curated collection of large-scale, echo-friendly, temporary indoor art, by emerging and established artists. Several of their offerings below, but do visit to see more, and explore their virtual space while you're there.

I love these hand-painted woodblocks by artist Serene Mitnik-Miller's for the General Store in San Francisco. The store is a collaborative and well curated effort by Ms, Mitnik-Miller and Mason St. Peter.
I also love her watercolour pieces . . . so inspiring. Visit and explore more of her world because it's dreamy.
And the General Store, which has loads of items from new to vintage and from local artist, crafters, to worldwide ones. Click around to see more of what they offer.

Crumbs is one of my favourite places in the city {NYC} to grab plentiful cupcakes. You can find me secretly dipping into one of their stores, when a blue moon is all that lights-up the sky and I'm on a sugar run. But you can visit them to find your own + indulge as often as you like.

I couldn't wait to share one of my new loves, Merete Rasmussen. The Danish-born, London-based artist makes pieces that are softly curved like ribbons. Beautiful repetitious forms that are begging to be touched. Clean, sparse, and undeniably creative that is anything but simplistic. Do visit her virtual space and explore her world, because it's inspiring.

Happy New Year everyone and thank you for sticking around with Love + Dreams, despite the lack of updates. I'm back and will be popping in with new discoveries, wants, and inspiration for 2010. I hope you stick around for the ride, not as consistent but I promise it will be just as fun as last year!
For the new year I'm on the hunt for new colour palettes and shapes for my home. I was recently on Knoll clicking around and built a bit of an inspiration board, via Lemony-lime cushioned lounge chairs, swivels, and ottomans.
Paris-based sculpture artist Christophe Côme's work has captured me. I love that he manipulates metal and other materials into beautiful works of art for the home. The pieces below are made with magnifying glass + iron. Visit and explore.

I'm a huge fan of Aldo Bakker. His fresh take on basic items we use daily is something I welcome. Not only are the pieces he designs visually pleasing, they're designed for you to get the optimum use out of them. He offers plenty so do visit, explore, and indulge.
And of course these lovelies . . .

I'm a huge fan of Brasilian shop Carol Martini Casa, located in São Paulo. They sell beautiful pieces for your home, like pillows, patchwork furniture, and other cool home accessories that have loads of personality. The pieces below are some of their latest offerings and I'm loving the pillows with their punchy colours. Visit and explore more.

Jeanine Hays of AphroChic has been a long-time e-friend of mines so of course when I learned that she would be creating a line of beautifully chic pillows, I was overjoyed. Not only is her collection of pillows beautiful, they're perfectly chic and would be a lovely addition to any home. I love the pops of yellow, fuchsia, and rich earth tones in between, with the Mandala and Reflection collections being my favourite. Visit and explore more from the debut collection and do become a fan of her blog.
My favourite pillows from the collection!

Nicola Malkin's over-sized jewelry for your home is beautifully spot-on. They're decorative with loads of personality. Want pearls or trinkets? Then try hers on for size and turn an otherwise boring section of your home into your own little wonderland of pretty. I love the pearls and think they'd be perfect for my design studio wall! Visit and explore more pieces in her gallery.
I love how she displays each piece.
And these charms for your wall, hang-up on any bare wall.

London-based ceramist artist Katie Bonham's stoneware wall sculptures have been on my list of "to share" for a while now. There is just something so supple and serene about each of the pieces below. I love the powder blue and the way each wall piece is arranged. Bare walls are just begging to be adorned with her work. Visit + explore more as she has plenty of inspiring pieces and she does commissions.
I wouldn't mind sitting at my dinner table admiring any of these pieces.
