Pappelina Rugs

The new black and white stripe Pappelina rug now located at my front door.

Over the weekend I was gifted a fantastic present from a friend in thanks for assisting her during her recent house renovations.
This is a Pappelina rug from Sweden and it fits perfectly at my front door. Designed by Lina Rickardsson, Pappelina stands for high quality, simple and functional design. The rugs are woven in traditional techniques at a weaving mill in Dalarna, however instead of linen, cotton or wool, they are made with plastic and PVC. This rug is soft underfoot and does not slip. It is washable, reversible and durable. And Rickardsson's simple and graphic designs completes the package.

Bright, Fun and Stripes

I noticed this great living room from Design Sponge a couple of days ago - pretty much anything that has stripes, like these cushions and rug, will always catch my eye! Then I was taken by the wayside to something else.
Today I got an email from my lovely friend, Adriana, based in Washington DC complimenting the same photo as a 'fun and bright' space. I agree! See the rest of the Vancouver home owned by graphic designer, Nerissa here.
Also check out Nerissa's cool online store called The New Domestic, which has these super cool bags called 'Bon Journey' - how cool is the yellow one?

I am loving stripes right now - I always have but it is especially prominent at the moment. It is clearly obvious, both in my work and in my clothing purchases of late, that stripes is catching my attention. It's a good thing that stripes never date both in interiors and fashion - they are an absolute classic.
