Love the quirky illisrtations on these lamp shades from a UK company called Lush Design.

I will be out of town for 4th of July, so happy forth and I'll be back blogging on Monday.

What a great concept for a small room; bed, desk, work station, and chalk board all in one neat package. Someone needs to take this idea and do a spin off of the original design by Luigi Colani made in 1979. Brilliant.

I love these quirky illustrations by artist Amy Ross, they remind me of another artist I love Amy Culter.  These pieces would make wonderful unexpected art in a kids room, because they have the mixed up feel of Alice in Wonderland. At first glance, everything seems in order, until you look closely and discover things are not were they are supposed to be.

Happy Birthday Finnley! 

I stumbled across this English born self taught artist, Rob Ryan last night and from that point forward the image of his delicate, skillfully crafted paper cutout will forever be pressed in my brain. Oh, if only I could snatch up just one tiny print I would be happy. There is something very raw and real about the cuts he makes; delicate, confident and that much more interesting that this thoughtful work comes from the hand of a man.

Please take a minute to look at the complete body of Rob Ryan's work.... you will not be disappointed. 

I had to blog about these other cuckoo clocks I am in love with from Snow Home. I should just do a week of cuckoo clocks because there are many modern takes on the original format. I think the cuckoo clock lends itself to a kids room decor naturally because of the clocks whimsical little bird that peeks out every hour.

What kid wouldn't love a peeking bird?
