Oh baby, I love freebies and monsters
Friday, January 30, 2009
Baby is on the brain. A girl can't help it when she's 25 weeks pregnant! So this very interesting bassinet I saw at MoCo Loco intrigued me.It looks like something you'd see in a Disney movie doesn't it? I kind of want a larger version for myself.
The Argington line of children's furniture by ODA, New York's Office for Design & Architecture, includes the Hagia bassinet and the V & A art easel.
It needs some extra padding for me though, I'm not digging the laying a baby on a board idea.

I Love You More Than Blank
Friday, January 23, 2009
The quote of the week image is from Creature Comforts post inspired by Jenifer Altman.Another link I found while looking through their site is for a blog called "I love you more than blank." The site came to be thanks to the creators over at Paperwhite Studio. Their site mission is an exploration into the wonderful world of love. Paperwhite studio wants to depart from the cliche valentines sentiment and find out the real things we use as a measuring stick for love. They are accepting submissions from anyone who wants to participate in submitting their own sentiments. Some of the comments are pretty interesting, others are very sweet.

And arbota.com has 15 Must-See (Post-and-)Modern Museum Designs, for this reason:
"Sometime in the last two decades, as wealthy patrons began flooding museums with donations so they could expand their collections, the architecture of museums around the world became nearly as important as the art and history they contain."
