I was in and out of Pinterest this last week and a half, but I did find some great things to share with you. Be sure to check out my over 11,000 pins here.

1. Someday all this will be Dirt by Matt Shlian: These paper sculptures are amazingly detailed and perfectly placed. Be sure to flip through his great portfolio of work.

2. Haerfest Collection B: With backpacks, duffles and totes in gorgeous leather color choices, these bags are just lovely. I'm taken with this tote that looks like it can be held with either a long or short handle.

3. Halo Bowl by Benjamin Hubert: Found via MocoLoco, I like both the visual simplicity of these bowls s well as the practicality of keeping as much airflow around fruits as possible.

4. Bottle Humidifier by Cloud and Co.: This humidifier will be available in July, and is powered via USB. Seems like a good office option, and it looks quite nice.

5. Terra Planter for Fort Standard: Spotted via Design Sponge, this combines my love of a terrarium look with a larger sculptural piece. This would look super in a corner as part of a sweet vignette.

6. Home of Swedish photographer Jonas Ingerstedt: Good clean Scandanavian modern with a fresh color palette. I love the soft blue of the cabinet/shelf unit and the great use of contrasting lights and darks in this space to keep visual interest without looking cluttered. Via La Maison d'Anna G.

Found a number of great things on Pinterest this week, but I managed to pare it down to my top 6. If you'd like to see all the other images I pinned this week, check out my Pinterest page.

1. Opera Camper by Axel Enthoven: this foldout trailer is both innovative and cool. After years of camping in a tent trailer as a kid, I never thought I would want to do it again, but this great little design may make me rethink my stance.

2. Tori Tori Restaurant in Mexico by Rojkind und Esrawe: The exterior of this restaurant is abit much for my taste, but I could stay in this room all day. The extra-high vertical garden wall paired with the wood finish of the walls and floor is to die for.

3. Aesop store by Tacklebox: Of course I dig the minimalist vibe of this store, with the very neutral background that really highlights the products, but what interested me the most about this space was the use of newsprint as wall material. It really has a felt-like look, and will age over time.

4. Chocolate pencils created by Japanese designers Nendo for Tokyo patissier Tsujiguchi Hironobu: Although the original article was meant to highlight the chocolate pencils that sit in the background of this image, I love the matte finish of the 'pencil' shavings against the super-shiny pastry.

5. Les poupées by Luca Nichetto: These stacking pieces can create a sculptural piece when the glass vase is inverted on top of the cermic candle holder or can be used separately. I love modular thinking, and these are two of my favorite materials.

6. Catena Wall Clock by Andreas Dober: With all the technology that surrounds us (and I wouldn't live without,) it's refreshing to see a purely mechanical piece. This clock moves along its chain, and you have to interpolate the actual time based on the location of the hour markers.

I found some more lovely things on Pinterest this week. If you would like to see the other things I pinned, and there are lots, visit my Pinterest page.

1. Dual-purpose extra long table: A gorgeous image from the online Magazine found through Lovenordic Design Blog. Of course you need a room that can support a lengthy table, but the idea is a great one, and I love how they delineated the spaces through a change in the seating.

2. Ape Aperitivo Set by Guilio Iacchetti: You had me at white, wood and metal. This is a great idea for an appetizer table. Stylists often work to put items at varying heights to add some vertical interest, and this set does it all by itself. It even includes a metal pick stand that can be used inside one of the vessels or on its own.

3. Canteen Tequila package design by Think Kaleidoscope: With glass faces and metal sides in different finishes to delineate the quality of the tequila, this packaging gives a cheeky nod to the old canteen while still looking fresh and modern.

4. Mossy Atrium: I have no idea where this image originates, but it was spotted on the This is My Future House blog. (updated: space by Gary Gladwish Architecture - thanks to Janet Myers on Pinterest for the info!) The moss, rocks and trees that echo the exterior landscape beyond look beautiful brought indoors and viewable from both a gallery and through the fireplace. Serene.

5. Type Embroidery: Unfortunately, this image from the Manchester School of Arts Textile Department didn't have an attribution for this image. I assume it is a previous student, although I looked through the galleries and somehow couldn't find it. The modularity of the type combined with the differing densities is really appealing, not to mention a ton of work.

6. 'Floral' cake: Not your typical floral cake, the single large flower spanning all four tiers is eyecatching without being frou-frou. This image looks like it was pinned back and forth between Pinterest and wanelo, so I have no idea who made this lovely creation.

I have been asked to provide individual images as well as my 'round-up' image, so I have added the single shots to the picture gallery to allow for your own pinning!

Please leave me a comment if you'd prefer links to be Pinterest pins or the original source!

1. Open view bedroom: There is nothing I don't love about this space. The neutral color palette, low bed, wood floors, large panes of glass, sheepskin and that gorgeous Jacobsen lamp, it's all good. Makes me want to curl up with a good book and some hot Earl Grey.

2. Rosewood Earbud Holder: I love beautiful wood, and there's something about the combination of technology and the tactile sense of finished wood that really appeals. Plus, I hate the way those silly earbuds get all tangled, no matter how hard I try to wind them carefully.

3. Glass fruit bowl by Rogier Martens: Glass is my medium, and transparency is something I play with a lot in my own work. Using the moveable nature of glass (FYI, it never is actually solid) to echo the forms of the fruit it is meant to hold is lovely.

4. Tangent 33 watch by Nomos: This watch is clean, simple and gorgeous. The condensed typeface used hearkens back to traditional type, and the bright blue hands on the neutral background give it a a modern edge.

5. Ylva Skarp home via Plaza Interiors: Although there is a decided lack of color in this living space, Ylva Skarp has added layers of texture through her use of type on the wall, rug and pillows. This adds a sense of depth and keeps the space from looking stagnant.

6. Shower connection to the outdoors: The materials here, concrete, smooth stucco, wood and glass and some of my favorites to work with. The wood floor keeps the space from feeling too cold, and the view to the exterior is really stunning. 

Somehow my picks for today ended up all in a black-grey-white colorway. These are items, photos and interiors that caught my eye on Pinterest this week.

1. Liquipel: This product is supposed to waterproof your phone completely, allowing for use in the rain or that unfortunate drop in the sink. I have no idea how well this works, but having bought a full-price phone months after purchasing on at a discount rate that fell in the water, this could be a godsend.

2. Ditte Isager: When you start to pay attention to interior images, you begin to find out that you have favorite stylists, much like you have clothing lines you naturally gravitate to. Ditte Isager is one of those people who lays things out in a way that really appeals to me. Clean and warm with a distinct Scandanavian bent.

3. Daniele Papuli: This paper artist created these beautiful undulating forms with sheets of paper. I love the pattern it makes on the floor.

4. Otokoyama Sake bottles: I think the clean look of all three bottles is very reminiscent of a minimalist Japanese aesthetic, and I love the way the three bottles become clearer as the product becomes more refined. Not sure if this is an actual product or a project, but I'd buy them.

5. Niche Modern pendant: I have been anamored with the Niche Modern product line ever since I first saw them years ago. The wonderful thing about these pieces is that the combination of clean lines with a nod to old fixtures gives an effect that is timeless, and doesn't appear dated.

6. Under-dock ice photo: If have no idea whatsoever the source of this photo. Unfortunately Tumblr often makes it well-nigh impossible to source images. But I love this - stunning and bleak all at once.

I'd love to get some feedback here - wondering if you'd prefer the source links or just the Pinterest links so you can repin these items to your own boards. Thoughts?

There were quite a few great pins this week. Of the 181 new pins I added, here is a selection of my favorites:

1. Honey Jar + Stick by Chabatree: This is just gorgeous on its own. Always a fan of wood/glass combinations. My concern would be that adding honey might make it nasty around the opening.

2. TV wall vignette by Stylizimo: I love how the TV seems to become just another object in a collection instead of a focal point for the room. That oversize mirror really balances the look, and as usual, the black and white combo is quite stunning.

3. Yellow Oyster Mushrooms image by francealot: If you look at my Pinterest boards, you will see that I have an entire board dedicated to macro photography. Nature and the world up close are even more interesting than normal, and I love seeing it in each detail. Unfortunately, I am a terrible photographer. Luckily, my husband is superb.

4. Nambu Ironware Tape Dispenser: Who doesn't just love office supplies? And add to that minimalism and great materials, and it's a winner. I bet this iron dispenser won't move on you when you try to tear off a strip, either!

5. Hörst Dusseldorf branding by Lg2boutique: The new branding package for this high-end men's clothiers looks both upscale and hip. I love the addition of the seal to some of the pieces, hearkening back to days past.

6. Gold Brushed Ceramic Bowls by Canvas: The hidden gilt interior of these sweet-looking bowls is a lovely surprise. It adds such a sense of depth with all the reflections that occur in the gold finish. I would imagine that even filled, you would get a peek of the gold here and there.

Stop by next week for a new set of Pinterest Picks!

I have decided to add a new feature each week highlighting my favorite images or products from the week on Pinterest. I pin heavily, and have for quite a long while (10,000+ pins,) and the pile of images can be pretty daunting. If you are interested in my Pinterest boards, please check them out and follow me here.

1. Hidria vases designed by Stafania Vasques for Diamantini & Domeniconi: I love both the form and color of these vessels. I am especially fond of the attenuated piece on the back left. Via Happy Mundane.

2. Homework Pencil Box by Present & Correct: I love wood to begin with, and the laser-etched graphics on this are both clean and cute.

3. 39 Parkholme Road, a Victorian terraced house: I love old buildings fitted with minimalist interior finshes. The pot-belly stove gives textural interest and a sense of real family living, the light from the back door is lovely, and the Wegner chairs are sublime as usual. Via zaINTERIORAnet.

4. Black Umbrella collateral designed by MyOrb: I am a huge fan of geometric patterns, especially when done with a light touch. The black stock and unobtrusive embossing make you want to look it over. Via Lovely Stationery.

5. Fireplace, designer unknown: I like to play with real materials, volumes and planes, and sheets of glass in my own architectural work. The warmth of the coloring, the careful proportions and modern astmosphere in this vignette are inviting to me. Via bldgspace blog.

6. Ugg Long Pile Shealring Cuff: I live in Southern California, and rarely have a chance to wear real winter gear. But I imagine these gloves would be as warm as my sheepskin boots, and I love the explosion of the cuff.
