image from design*sponge

it’s things like these that do make me nostalgic for the pacific northwest, and the time that i’d spent there discovering every little nook and cranny of the city finding spots for hidden treasures i once coveted as mine.  not so much anymore with this seattle design guide from design*sponge; i personally can vouch that i’ve been to most these places, and for all my hometown heroes, this is a pretty exhaustive list of all things good design, food and the like.  and for my non-pnw friends, definitely bring this list in-hand if every planning to visit the city.  

see the list, here. 

valentine's day redux: heart flowers

absolutely gorgeous post over on design*sponge today from studio choo on mini-arrangements a la chocolate heart.  these pretty little things can be handed out to co-workers, friends or the whole lot can go to your significant other, but what a unique and creative way to celebrate without adding to the standard issue chocolate and dozen roses en masse.  full instructions and (beautiful) additional photos here.

wreath how-to.

on design*sponge today is a great how-to tutorial for a gorgeous felt ruffle wreath from kristen of domestifluff.  it’s surprisingly simple to make, and requires only a few supplies such as felt, straight pins and a wreath form.  full instructions over at design*sponge.
