Momspiration

I've lived in the same house for my whole life, and moving away from it just makes it feel more like home. There was a period where I called it "my mom's house", but I was just trying to be cool. Every time I go home for a few days I just don't want to leave, it's so cozy and nice. My mom has years of stuff hanging around, always a half finished project. I used to hate it because it wasn't like everyone else's house, but it's home and it always will be.

Whenever I make a trip home, I never pack enough and end up raiding my mom's closet. Always. I never thought I'd be taking any hints from my mom. She used to be the most embarrassing person on the face of this planet in my eyes. She sang at the grocery store, made weird jokes to people she didn't know, wore stupid round sunglasses, and now here I am. Doing all of the above.

So when I got home (my own apartment, also now referred to as home) I sifted through my closet for all the things I used to cringe at when worn by my mother, most of which I now own and wear.

Levi's Jeans / Goodwill Shoes / G.H. Bass / Leather backpack / Mom's 

Sunglasses / H&M Dress / thrift store Belt / Mom's

Tino Seubert ♒ Forming History

I'm working on a project for one of my classes designing a magazine cover and a spread. I chose Tino Seubert as my subject because I saw his work in T Magazine a while ago. Inspired by photographs of major historical events, Seubert designed these pieces for his degree project, and they were shown in the 2011 Milan Furniture Fair. The bench is informed by the Nuremberg Trials, the chair by the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony in Oslo, and the table by the end of the Vietnam War.


Check out his website for a look at the pieces from photo to furniture, and his other projects. Tino Seubert

Bedroom Inspirations

From sharing a room with my big brother, to moving into a dorm to my first of (way too) many apartments while in school, my bedroom has changed many times. Last year alone I moved SEVEN times, including a move to spend six months in Australia. Moving around was exciting and so much fun, and in the process I've whittled down how much stuff I own, which is great. I've also whittled down my attachment to my bedroom, wherever it may be, which isn't so great.

Now I'm headed to Australia in January for a year, and I'm already thinking about what my room there will be like, because I want it to be mine, all mine !! I'm loving these eclectic rooms that look a bit haphazard but are pulled back down to earth with clean simplicity warmed up with rich colors, and lots of personal touches.

Some food for thought.
