Bonus Bone: Vegetarian Food Pyramid poster

Vegetarian Pyramid, by Andreas Samuelsson

I've been a vegetarian for almost eleven years now. I think I eat a pretty healthy diet, but even the best of us have our off days and just want to stuff our face with seven layer dips and gooey nachos. Every so often we might need a reminder of what we should be eating and that's why I love the Vegetarian pyramid poster by Andreas Samuelsson. It's fun, bold graphics aren't too preachy. It makes eating healthy look fun!!!

For these reasons, I, Porcelain, declare this a Design Boner.

I know and love a certain person and IF that certain person whom I know and love happens to be edging up to that long walk down the aisle, I know exactly what I'll buy for the shiny new couple. I don't even care what their BB&B registry says.

And "that certain person" wouldn't at all be me. *

The UK store Graham and Green always carry the most fabulous mirrors! I'm a sucker for big, statement mirrors and these all have me swooning.

Hey Mr. DJ...

Urbanati DJ Console, by Trevor O'Neil

Trevor O'Neil (of T.O.D.) sent us a pretty bad-ass heads up. He just finished the design and build-out of a custom media stand for one hip client. Not only does the piece look polished and original but it's all kinds of repurposed. Here's what Trevor says:

I used only recycled materials - that same cork [leftover from a previous piece, Dulce De Leche Diva]. The pine beams are actually from my childhood home that was recently sold and gutted (snif--talk about heartbreak), and the plywood was left over from a cabinet job.

I'm really fond of O'Neil's designs. If I remember correctly, he's self-taught in the arts of furniture design. It impresses me that he's constantly creating strong, unique pieces that look great but also have a green heartbeat. Or should I say...

Playerz' off the chain with the dope homegoods design and he be representin' OG and eco-illin'. Now spin my jam, homeslice.

If you're interested in a custom job or anything else he's got going on, send him a note shout out.

A Good Pillow & Some Bad Hair

Three Circle Small Cushion, designed by Anne Kyyro Quinn, at Rose and Radish

This Three Circle Small Cushion is fun and sunny. It reminds me of breakfast and children's TV programming from the '70s. I think it looks incredibly well-made, with its smart dimensions and raised appliqué. I would have no problem labeling this pillow as GROOVY (man).

The $255 price tag, though, is about as groovy as Paige Davis's new hairdo. *
