Jessica Oreck

I'm finding myself fascinated by the images of Documentary filmmaker Jessica Oreck's office. So many little collections. I couldn't do it myself, but like to look at the pictures.

Art Projects for Kids

As a mom who both wants to instill a creative streak in her kids and keep her sanity, I'm loving the ideas at Art Projects for Kids. It's like a never ending art-curriculum so that your kids can be creative even if you don't have an endless supply of creativity yourself.

the perfect bouquet

I think the texture of sweet peas and peonies together is so perfect it hurts. The peonies here are this close to budding. I can't wait!

train mural

I know a little boy who'd be in heaven in this space. I'm trying to think of a way to recreate it in our shoebox/apartment.

Framed chalkboard

Ever since I saw Penelope, I have wanted a chalkboard with an elaborate lacquered frame. Seeing this one over at Little Green Notebook has me itching to start hunting for the perfect frame for a DIY project.

handmade ballet flats

Holy lovely shoes batman!

Elephant on a string

I am completely in love with this wallpaper by Catherine Martin. The mini sofa doesn't hurt either.

embellish

2 beautiful ideas that I'd kind of like to use together:

Folded Fabric Flowers (this one by HanamiGallery)
and shoe clips (these by Erica Weiner).

Wouldn't a folded fabric shoe clip be incredible?

A chair with my name all over it.

The Large Puff by Aiveen Daly.
I'd satisfy it's longing to be mine, but a few thousand too many dollars keep us apart.

hair adornment

I kind of wish I'd lived in an era where women always dressed their heads up to be in public. Maybe then I'd have had a chance to wear something like this. Pretty things by Twigs & Honey.

Balloon Family Tree

Suddenly I'm seeing brilliant family tree art everywhere! Love this balloon one by The Small Object.
