all things color

I find myself resorting to black, brown, tan, white, neutral….A LOT. So for the fun of it, I just thought I’d add a little rainbow inspired color to your day:

marston & langinger :: colorful ampersand glasses [+]

a throughly modern doily

I never have been a big fan of the old-timey doily. They just kind of add an undesired “dated” funk to things in my eyes; and don’t quite do anything for me. They are very tea-partyish, which in that case, work well for fun, frilly and pink celebrations. But, not to fret, there is always a pillow of looming inspiration that can be drawn from “our delicate laced ancestors”. With a little modernity, we can always come up with a new use for an old-time design:
