More and More

Was hunting around my usually spots late tonight and came across a site off of Design Sponge that sold just cute random things for around the house. It caught my eye because of the Alessi drain plug called Mr. Suicide. I love how Alessi takes everyday items and turns them into new and creative designs. There is a lot of cool new designs here to browse through to...looks like I found another site to add to the list!

From Russia With Love

I absolutely loved Tetris when I was growing up. It was one of the first games I bought when I got my original Nintendo. I would play for hours and I was pretty good. I got to level 11 on regular Nintendo and I think something like level 15 on Game Boy. I fell in love with these shelves and can't wait to find a spot for them in my home one day (saving saving saving). I love the movability of them and the simple shapes and patterns are amazing. A total must have!

What's In a Name

I loved this idea that I found while searching one of the many sites I seem to stumble across. I uses your signiture to create the shape of a box. It's a cool idea and no two would ever really be the same but some questions arose...what if you name doesn't have any holes in it to make the vase part (some people have pretty skinny signitures). Or what if you like someone else's name...can you make a vase out of their signiture? Anyways still a cool, original idea.

24/7

A friend of mine showed me the site Cool Hunting and I'm now addicted. I love the stuff that people find on there and most of the stuff you see here I've copied over. One of the best ideas I saw posted was 365 days of design. Bauer actually did a design a day for a whole year weather he actually completed it that day or not. It's interesting to see his progress over the year and how his style changed. It's an idea I've been pondering over myself and maybe I wouldn't do one a day but maybe on a week instead.

Creativity

Okay so here I am, new to the blog world. I've viewed many a blog and who knew that one day I myself would need and use one. My main thought was this is a place for me to post things that inspire me or I find cool while I'm out searching the net. Here and there might be a few of my own things thrown in but we'll see...not really one for the lime light and criticism. Not the best for someone just getting out of school and trying to find herself in the big world of design. But I'll plug away as best I can and hope that someday I might become inspiration to others. Wish me luck!
