I love this  piece called Blackfield that I had the pleasure of seeing at Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Santa Monica, CA. This artwork was created by Zadok Ben David and is made up of thousands of tiny, flat stainless steel plants. When you first enter the room, all the plants appear to be black.

When you walk around to the opposite side of the room, the colorful side of each plant is shown. The piece is huge, so the colors are slowly revealed to you as you make your way across the space.

What a surprise! You can watch a video here.

Summer is finally upon us (seriously, 80 degree weather just arrived) and all I want to do is pack a picnic, lay on some soft grass, and read a good book.

She’s got the right idea…

…and she does too. Here’s hoping the weather sticks around this weekend when I’ll be able to leave the office and enjoy. Happy Wednesday!

My obsession with hot pink continues particularly in outdoor spaces. Its such an unexpected color outside and I love the contrast with green foliage. Also, this may be the most adorable umbrella, ever.

Stunning outdoor space with hot pink lanterns? Um, yes. I’ll take some tea and cookies right about here.

But the piece de résistance? A hot pink, heavy, wood, door leading to your garden. Done and done.
