What a great mix of retro and industrial looks. Buy it on Terrain. (via Bliss blog)

I am not at all a DIY person. In fact, I can barely screw a light bulb.  But that doesn’t keep me from admiring cool DIY projects like this ombre spray-painted bench, featured on Swedish interior stylist Lotta Agaton’s website. I’m not sure how this was done – any guesses? (found via Lake Jane)

Kate Foley is a buyer at Opening Ceremony with great style. Refinery 29 recently published a short interview and lots of great photos of Kate’s home.

I have to say that I love seeing the homes of creative and fashion types.  To see how they approach home decor. The mix of influences and patterns in Kate’s apartment really drew me in. Check out all of the pictures, and the interview, here.

As a side note, I need to get back to NYC pronto and head straight over to Opening Ceremony from the airport. Can’t believe I’ve never been!

Really digging these stylish arrays of mirrors in these homes.. So vintagey and sweet. (More mirror shots on Kika Reichert’s blog).
