{Design} Little American Mountain Bag by Herschel Supply Co.

Channel your inner American Boy/Girl Scout with this gorgeous classic backpack from Herschel Supply Co. The Little America Mountain Bag combines heritage with modern touches. It comes in a bunch of colours, but I think I would have to go for the bright orange one. You can get it from Asos or Amazon.
I need one to take on my adventures this summer...

Yes weekend!

The weather is glorious this weekend here in London, and I am making sure to spend most of it outdoors... I hope you are making the most of it also. I'd love to hear about what you are up to, and what you would like to read more of. Enjoy the sunshine!

{Art} All the buildings in New York by James Gulliver Hancock

This post is to showcase some of James Gulliver Hancock's illustrations. Originally from Australia, this New Yorker has set himself the task to draw all the buildings in New York. I love the idea and the colours he uses in his sketches, they remind me of super hero comic books from my childhood.

You can see more of his great illustrations in his book All the Buildings in New York: That I've Drawn So Far.
Check out his blog also, you could place your own order of a drawing of your favourite NYC building...

This book would be a great gift for anyone who love New York City and drawing!

{Architecture} Minimalist museum illustrations by André Chiote

I love these illustrations by Portuguese artist André Chiote. He has taken to creating graphic images of landmark museums by celebrated architects from around the world.
Love the buildings, love the minimalist interpretations, love the colours!

Check out this cute kids chair that also works as a doll's house, by Etsy shop owner Paloma's nest. It comes in 3 different designs: colonial, victorian and modern house, but my favourite has to be the colonial style one. Love it!

{Art} Poem paintings by Jamie Poole

I love this work by poem painter Jamie Poole, a lovely mixture of portraiture, typography and collage. What a wonderful idea to deconstruct printed poems into individual words and using the text to create large scale portraits. 
The final pieces are quite large, and allow for amazing detail in both line and shadow. You can see more images of Jamie’s work on his Blog.

{Design} Life's Journey measuring stick by Baum Kuchen

I knew as soon as we moved into our home, 6 years ago, that I wanted to track my daughter's growth on a doorframe. But since I am not 100% positive we will live under this roof forever, I looked for a wall mounted growth charts.
I love Baum-kuchen's new product, the life's journey measuring stick. A simple, blank measuring stick where you can record the special milestones in your child's life. You can keep it hung on your wall and can take it with you when you move. I also love the philosophy behind their brand and hope to see more elegant products from them.

{Kids} Easiest DIY dollhouse

My daughter Ines (7) loves playing with her little figurines. So I thought that with her help we could build this easy homemade dollhouse by El hada de papel. 

There I found the easiest DIY tutorial for a homemade dollhouse yet. Use stiff cardboard to cut out 2 pieces as shown and slot together. As decoration, you can paint the cardboard or cover it in paper. Go with the templates provided or create additional cutouts to add detail. I love this idea because you can also adapt it to be the correct size for your dolls.
