Gracious Graphics: I Love NY

Tuesday, February 19, 2013


I adore the architecture of New York City and especially loved all the different facades and town homes in the West Village, where my husband and I were lucky enough to live for a year. So I could not help but smile when I came across a lovely graphics site, Windows Of New York. Artist Jose Guizar's designs are so simple but still so charming and so representative of each neighborhood. These would be so fun as a set of framed prints!







 I love you NYC!

Cycle Love

Friday, September 30, 2011

I just love all of the bicycle themed graphic of 100 Copies. I was so happy to discover the fresh aesthetic of Singapore based artist, Thomas Yang, who decided to combine his two passions: art and cycling. Each product is an original design and is limited to {you guessed it!} only 100 copies and is numbered - so each one is unique. His tees and posters are so mod and colorful! 







Suddenly I feel like going for a bike ride this weekend . . . 
Happy Friday! XOXO

Design By Numbers

Monday, March 21, 2011


I love this numerical trend I've spotted recently! I always struggled a bit in the math department so I am thrilled I have found numbers that I can really get on board with. These numbered pieces are unexpected and graphic, plus I like the industrial chic feeling they give. And maybe even practical too - no more forgetting which wine glass is yours! So here is the countdown . . .

Engraved numbered wine glasses from Whitewash Sundries






I love these framed vintage numbers casually propped up along the back wall! What a chic living room by Colleen Locke via Lonny.

Hemp and cotton napkins by Heather Lins Home.


A clever makeover on a Rast dresser from IKEA! Great olive green color too. Via the IKEA blog

A quirky "Lucky" doorknob from Anthropologie, $8.

Great canvas bags from UK based Alaphabet Bags, via Black Eiffel.

Loved this nautical sail pillow from Wisteria!

Paris Versus New York

Saturday, November 13, 2010

La Facade

I recently had the luck to stumble upon a charming blog titled Paris versus New York. Since the blog does just that – compare and contrast the two great cities, it was of special interest me! Vahram Muratyan, a Paris based graphic artist, provides witty and visually pleasing illustrations – self described as “A visual but friendly match between those two cities seen by a lover of Paris wandering through New York's infinite details, clichés and contradictions: this way, please. . .”  I love the graphics but also the amiable sense of humor of each one!
