Does brown mean "you're tasty"?

Who knew you could have brown roses before they're dead? I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise that these Terra Nostra "chocolate" roses aren't a natural occurrence but naturally the craft of rose breeders NIRP International. Still pretty nifty...

Lord, forgive them their bad puns. What will happen if I leave them in the purse on a hot day?

When I woke up this morning, I thought, "I wonder if there's such a thing as designer donuts?" Well, I didn't find any. I did find some seriously hip chocolates, though. Look at that. Don't you just wanna steal that and turn it in for your fina...

Bad table. Bad!

Grownup furniture suddenly seems dead next to the lively creations by the wittily-named Straight Line Designs. Sure, I'm a little old for a castle bed (or am I?), but I'd totally mow the lawn for weeks for a melting cabinet or a sagging accordian...

Not boring.

Where Janine King gets her gorgeous fabric selections, I'd like to know. But since I can barely sew, anyway, I'm content to purchase these fabrics in the form of an object. I've got one of King's laptop cases (in the fabric pictured above), and i...

"Are you my mommy?" Rustboy intro

Rust Boy by Brian Taylor is an old favorite of mine - possibly yours, too. There's not much I can say about this unfinished gem. The tears-inducing artwork is something you just have to experience.

I know the feeling, sister.

Don't you wish there were a more elegant way to spew the vitriol of your cranky soul? Locher's has found it. Each of their blouses feature such delicate phrases as "Good Luck, Motherf***er" (sans censoring, of course), "I like it rough," and "I r...

Art Deco Envelope Bar Bar2 Bar3

There's nothing I love more than art deco (until my next post), and this folding bar at the Art Deco Collection is worthy of the label. Check out the details on this baby: If I lived in the Bay Area and had some extra lunch money, I'd probabl...

"I believe in miracllllles..."

I found a recipe for hot spicy chocolate that's really something. I'm not a chocoholic by any definition, but this? Seriously good stuff. As pictured above, I added an extra pinch of cayenne (you read that right) and cinnamon to mine because I...

My weakness? The color brown. Wait, it gets worse. Brown with pastels. And that's primarily what this blog is about. It's my appreciation - as a designer and as a chick - for all things brown. Br...
