TetraBox Light by Ed Chew Liquid to Light Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim. The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space. Designer: Ed Chew
More Quilled Lettering! Ready for some more fab lettering? Today's examples were created by a quilling newbie who was inspired by Yulia Brodskaya, just like Kara from Monday's post. Erin Casner quilled Everything is Awesome as her very first project! Erin snipped the end off the eye of a needle to use as a rolling tool and cut strips of lightweight cardstock from her stash. Consider these rainbow paloozas as Erin calls them - love that! Next, Erin made this Imagine piece, also for the baby's room. This nice, big C is her most recent piece for the nursery. Follow Erin's adventures via her blog, Schmancy-ness.

Old Garage turned Mini Dream Home! | Hello there! It’s been a busy week with a trip to Seattle for the Picasso exhibition and a drive out to the coast but I knew I had to share this amazing remodel with you before the week came to a close. Everyone loves good makeovers and the ones involving tiny spaces, creative design and ingenious solutions are my all time favorites! Check out how Seattle artist, designer and welder, Michelle de la Vega, created this beautiful little 250 sq. ft. haven… The before… This lonely little detached garage is just begging for some love. The after! A cozy, light filled sleeping loft is so perfect for the space. The kitchen is well organized and accessible with open storage solutions. The rustic wood burning stove becomes sculptural in this room along with Michelle’s own art installations. The glass boxes housing pillow forms are actually a tribute to Michelle’s father. You know I am a big fan of great bathroom design and this one delivers. How many of us have garages that only house our junk!?
seriya108 Look at Your Interior and Love It With Mira En Tu Interior Designs Artwork makes a big impact on a space: it draws the eye towards something beautiful and focuses the attention, and it fills in negative space while expressing one's personality and tastes. On a larger scale, it is one of the easiest ways to make a dramatic impact and change the whole feeling of a space. Barcelona-based Mira En Tu Interior's vinyl stickers can enliven the "skin" of your walls in one fell swoop, providing some dazzling flavor to otherwise empty space. But beware: these are not for the faint of (decorating) heart. Mira En Tu Interior offers several designs along different themes: flowers, dreams and abstractions, geometric doodles, blurbs of text (mostly in Spanish), and even stuff for the kiddos. Another bonus is that the patterns generally come in several different sizes and colors, for a really customized piece. So if you have some sad, bare walls in your house you may find just the splash of modern verve you're looking for here. Via designrelatedMore on Miraentuinterior
