Parlez-vous français?

La Maison Pujol - I wouldn't mind meeting you.  I find your vintage typography irresistible.

Explore the rest of this delicious bed and breakfast here. 

Typography please...

Oh, la la.  Need more?  Me, too.  See the rest of the space {and it is a gorgeous space} and devour my words here. 

{Blissful photography by Petra Bindel.  More of this eclectic glamour here.}

Mmmm...

This glimpse of metallic typography, an industrial light bulb, pristine white, and a few leaves is perfect.  This little bit of brightness is from Cherry Blossom. 

Meander over to EcoSalon and devour my recent words {take a look, maybe even leave a comment or rate my words}.  Soak in the talent of photographer Mikkel Vang and the beauty of Thailand.  Peruse the wooden delights of the sweet little store Canvas.  Enjoy the lovely, lovely words and creativity of Kelle Dame with this week's handpicked take on vintage crates {and visit Ms. Dame's blog - she is a girl of genuine charm}.

Center stage...

As a designer, I live with an occupational hazard.  My eyes always drift into the background, scouring the details.  Whether watching a movie, perusing an ad, attending a dinner party, or scrolling through my google reader, regardless of what is happening in the foreground, my eyes always seem to elevate the materials and furnishings of the background into center stage. 

Classic example, this beautiful collection of images was lingering over at Little Blue Deer.  For a background set to rival a dramatic and intricate wedding dress, it has to be stunning.  The worn walls, glamorous mirrors, typography props, and exposed brick have definitely danced into center stage.  Hmmm...what wedding dresses?!?
