O&G Studio

I’m such a fan of traditional furniture dressed up in untraditional colors or fabrics.  It’s such a great way to keep these old styles alive and relevant.  That said, I’m totally digging these handcrafted pieces from O&G Studio that are offered in black, gray, silver, and a handful of bright colors.

Honorable mention goes to these two more modern tables also made by O&G Studio.

They Draw & Travel

One of my newly bookmarked websites to visit is They Draw & Travel, a website filled with illustrated maps created by people all over the world.  It’s fun to see not only what each person feels are the most important landmarks or things to do in each place, but how they represent that in their maps.  Each one is so unique.

Would You Believe?

That these things are all edible?*  These wow-worthy candies are the handy work of Andie’s Specialty Sweets, and these are just a few of the many realistic creations.  Just visit her Etsy shop and be prepared to amazed.

*Okay, well not the ribbon or the baggie, but you can definitely eat that Scrabble tile rack.  No lie.
