Orla Kiely for Target.

Yes, I know I am late to posting about this and you've probably already seen these if you are a textile/pattern junkie like myself, but in the event that you haven't yet seen them yet, I give you the Orla Kiely for Target collection! I've been meaning to post about this for sometime now and I kept forgetting, but I have always been a huge fan of Orla Kiely's geometric shapes, bold colors and girly patterns. There is dinner and servingware, storage boxes, closet organization, table and kitchen linens and even an apron, which I am pretty positive I need.

The line is available now at Target (the collection released on February 15) but hurry it will go fast. I am not sure if they are releasing things on different dates, or if it was all released at once and just sold out insanely quick, because it isn't all available online and I could not find any of the linens at Target when I was there over the weekend. Let me know if you know!

Geometric Book

I am obsessed with both the simplicity of geometric shapes and the complexity and intricacy of patterns, so this book is a MUST HAVE on my list now, since it's a little bit of both.

Kapitza, an independent Design company based in East London, recently published their new book entitled, Geometric.

"Geometric is a unique pattern resource book featuring an exciting collection of 264 colourful and monochrome pattern illustrations. Get inspired by Kapitza’s pattern art, all created with the 100 Geometric pattern fonts included on the CD for Mac and Windows. Now designing your own patterns is as easy as typing – but with much more exciting results."

I need some wallpaper...I think

So we have a small townhouse and we are in the process of finishing up remodeling our downstairs. We just put in new french doors and we have a brand new kitchen, with gloss black cabinets, brushed aluminum back splash and greyish countertops. We have a wall at the back of the house that is shared by the kitchen and the living room area that has the french doors leading out to the back yard, and I really love the idea of putting wallpaper there to get a bold graphic black and white punch when you walk in the house (front door is on the other side of the house and would face this wall). We are painting everything else simple with a neutral color, probably grey, and we will get a pop of color with the couch (maybe red or something really bright like yellow). Annnnnyhow... here are some wonderful wallpapers from Walnut that I like - the first might be my favorite, but I really love all 3. How cool is the wallpaper on the ceiling idea?

OK, I am going to go searching for more wallpapers now.

Shonah

Shonah pendants are individually handmade, using a blend of her original screen-printed fabrics, patchwork and vintage fabrics. Each beautiful piece is mounted on Tasmanian oak, carefully hand crafted by her father in a quaint country town, furnishing an organic feel to her designs.

These are so beautiful and they are three of my favorite things together in one - animals, patterns and necklaces.
