There is something about vintage crates that always catches my eye.  Here’s a nice look at a few that have been turned into rustic little side tables. (design*sponge)

Speaking of crates, this family took two large ones and made them into a coffee table of sorts.  Doesn’t it just look like the comfiest place to curl up with a book and drink lemonade on a summer’s day? (maya*made)

Wishing you a weekend full of friends and fun! – Rachel

As Close As I May Get to Owning One

The Eames DCW chair, with its molded plywood seat and gentle curves, is an icon of mid-century design.

It also runs $629 for a new one from Herman Miller, and originals are well over a $1,000!   However, this wonderful, handpulled Linocut print by artist Eric Rewitzer of 3 Fish Studios is a mere $25, and although you can’t sit in it, it has equally lovely lines. Read the rest of this entry »
