REINVENTED CLASSIC
Map quilts! Heirloom blankets, quilted maps of cities and neighborhoods. One-of-a-kind, handcrafted and organic. Ingenious. Thanks to ApartmentTherapy for telling us about Emily Fischer's work.
THE GROWN-UP TREEHOUSE
I couldn't live without trees. There is nothing quite like the pattern of light and leaves when you look up through the boughs of woods, the soft rustling of leaves as the wind passes through, or their fiery autumn hues. My husband and I are very fortunate to have a few large picture windows facing trees and prefer nature-inspired decor. This great idea from the folks at MarthaStewart definitely give rooms the treehouse effect with a graphic, modern aesthetic. Let's just hope it's critter-free and has eco-friendly potential. The pooch better not get any funny ideas!
PIX OF PICKS
What is this prickly tuffet made of? Hint: no porcupines were harmed in the making of this object, although pigs in blankets are running for cover.
Answer: Toothpicks. Yes, clean ones. How does one not get a million tiny stab wounds crafting this cool frog? Thanks to DCDesign for this photo by Infinity Pix.
