My friends over at TheFind have launched a cool new app that brings your favorite catalogs to your iPad. I always feel guilty about flipping through a Crate & Barrel catalog once and then chucking it into the recycling bin. But I love the decorating ideas and inspiration from the photos that you don’t get on the website. Problem now solved. Take my name off the list!

lighten up

February is my least-favorite month of the year. The dreariest days of winter always seem to hit me right around now. I’m combating my February funk with daydreams of the beautiful Castiglioni Arco Floor Lamp, which I first discovered when I lived in Italy. It’s always been way out of my price range, but on a whim I just did a search on TheFind and found a huge selection of affordable pieces inspired by the classic design. February just got a little brighter.

from our friends at TheFind: say “au revoir” to muddy doorways

With all of the rainy weather we’ve been having here in San Francisco I could really use a new outdoor doormat. A rubber weatherproof doormat is the key to preventing all sorts of outdoor debris and mud from making its way onto my hardwood floors. These clever manhole cover door mats are cheeky and fun. My fave is the Paris Sewer Manhole Cover, the other cities don’t have quite the same glamour element (really no glamour element). The Paris design is much more aesthetically appealing, as are most things Parisian in my mind. From Feet First Doormats, the entire collection is made of 100% recycled truck tires and nylon flocking for extra durability.

from our friends at TheFind: parkhaus chicken egg cozy

From our friends at TheFind:

I’ve recently found lots of cool felt items from a German company called Parkhaus Berlin. They create and design modern home accessories in their Berlin studios. The collection includes cushions for design classic chairs, felt accessories and lighting.

This chicken egg cozy is one of my faves. I love bright colors like orange for my kitchen. Orange plays nicely in a modern kitchen against white, dark browns or various shades of greens, blues and even pairs well with magenta. Think Marimekko! The simplicity is wonderful as well. The ideal breakfast time accessory for friendly modernists!

All of Parkhaus’ products are made of 100% all-natural wool felt and are made in Germany. This cozy goes for $15 at Greenergrassdesign.com.

from our friends at TheFind: valentine’s cards from paper culture for Haiti relief

Anna — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:48:21 +0000

In the last year I’ve ordered cards from Paper Culture for several occasions. A friend’s baby shower, birthday parties, Valentine’s day cards and of course our annual family Christmas cards. I love ALL of the designs from this cool new personalized card site. The designs of the cards are amazingly sophisticated and stylish. The best thing is that they will address and mail the cards for you. They will also add a personalized greeting, which by the way has sent many compliments my way. And yes, I am happy to take the credit!

If you are shopping for Valentine’s Day cards, Paper Culture will donate 100% of this year’s Valentine’s Day Card proceeds to Haiti Relief. This is a wonderful way to send a Valentine’s greeting to your loved ones and to help send relief to those in need.
