Outdoor Seafood Sign Capturing Vintage Fun

Ahhh... summers by the ocean. There's just something about summertime by the water -- the smells, the sounds, the feeling. I just want to capture it for a moment and hold it tight. As a result, my kitchen is designed around just that feeling. I'm always on the lookout for great finds that capture that spirit.

I love this outdoor seafood sign that I discovered at Ballard Designs. The vintage inspired print was designed by contemporary artist BJ Schonberg to capture the spirit of mid-century advertising styles.

Available in two sizes and priced between $80 - $160.

Design Within Reach: Industrial House Numbers

It's the boys first week of summer vacation and we've been busily working on outdoor projects. During our frontyard cleanup, I noticed that the peal-and-stick house numbers that were on the mailbox when we moved in had started to un-peal-and-stick. I decided it was time to replace them (and the mailbox too!)

In my search, I found these gorgeous numbers available at Design Within Reach.

The Industrial House Numbers were created by designer Erik Spiekermann with a very distinct, clean, aestetic and modern design. They were inspired by metal stencils where the numbers themselves are cut away from metal.

Currently on sale for $9.99 per number.

Pretty n' Pink: Posietint Stain for Cheeks and Lips

Are you a fan of a natural look with your makeup? If so, you have to try Posietint cheek and lip stain from Benefit Cosmetics.




The tint gives you just the slightest flush with just the right natural tint. It offers hours of smudge-proof color for a fresh summer look.
