Not really design-related whatsoever but I can’t stop listening to Justin Timberlake‘s newest single, SexyBack. For the past few weeks, all weekend, always on repeat. Doesn’t sound like the Justin we’re used to but it doesn’t really matter because the song is ridiculously good. Can’t wait to see the video premiering next week (reportedly shot in Spain) and the full-length album. Totally slammed at work but thought I’d at least post this today.
He's bringing Sexy back.
Today’s PhotoJojo newsletter had a tutorial written by the very talented Mareen Fischinger about creating your own Panographies. These have an effect much like looking at a scene, taking it all in without looking through a camera. The instructions are very well-written… can’t wait to try taking some of my own. These would look beautiful printed oversized on archival paper and pressed between glass.

While going through links this morning I saw that Designer’s Library posted about the Hotel Des Arts in San Francisco, California. Loved it so much I had to post about it too. Some of the rooms in the hotel are painted by up and coming artists from the area. There’s a gallery online of all the artists and room 201 above by Kelly Tunstall is a definite standout. Also see the rooms done by Damon Soule, Maria Gillespie, Jet Martinez and Eric Orr. Love this place.
Totally fabulous room with a playful vibe. Room 201, Suite, Kelly Tunstall.
Abigail Percy is a lovely jewelry designer with a fabulous Etsy shop. Her work is so lovely, great shapes and use of materials. I love the historical outline stuff as well as the things she does with pearlsâso simply. Absolutely gorgeous stuff… I am bookmarking for constant revisits.
Small Historical Outline Brooch, $79. Pearl Ring Set of Three, $135.
Smythson of Bond Street has some great leather travel accessories in the greatest colors. I love the above travel wallet with all the separate pockets for departure ticket, arrival ticket, passport, and ID. The personalized passport cases are so adorable as well, I like how the silver stamping looks on the cover. Beautiful.
Portobello Travel Wallet, $495.
Grace posted about Osborne & Little today and I totally was feeling the patterns she was showing. When I visited the site I was happy to see tons of patterns available in varying styles and colorways in textiles and wallcoverings. I also love the furniture by Michael Reeves… oh, so lovely.
