Not Neutral

There is a fun little Outdoor Decor round-up posted in the LA Times Home and Garden Section featuring the Season metal lantern (shown above) from LA based Not Neutral. I really love their garden stakes too. Wouldn't they make a lovely addition to a children's garden?

Trina Turk for Schumacher

Trina Turk's new indoor/outdoor line for Schumacher (to the trade only).

These fabrics inspire me to dig out my tiny bikini and martini shaker...

Context Furniture of Ferndale

There is a wonderfully inspiring article about the Ferndale, MI based Context Furniture in MetroModeMedia.

I'm just delighted to discover that all their pieces are designed and crafted right here in my own backyard! You can see many of these beauties up close and personal at local Detroit retailers Mezzanine and Bureau of Urban Living. And, if you are a lucky local, you'll note the custom tables, chairs and stools created for Ferndale's absolutely gorgeous lounge The Emory on Woodward Ave.

There are currently three lines available under the Context Furniture brand: the Narrative and William & Mary collections, designed by owners Kerry and Bryce Moore (their signature look is predominantly blond furniture with a strip or strips of dark wood), and the Truss Collection, designed by Scott Klinker, who heads the graduate 3D design program at Cranbrook.
