...ariele alasko...

...patterns in wood- just as cool as patterns in fabric...the work by brooklyn based, ariele alasko is inspiring me to turn some of my geometric surface pattern designs into wood inlays for tables- headboards etc...

...loving how she tags her creations- below- not to mention her choice of hand lettered fonts are right up my alley...

...and I'm off today on a roadtrip to Portugal with my husband & brother & gf...I'll be back in a week!

...barn love...

...dying over the top converted barn- I would love to live in a converted barn someday.  How cute is the barn loft in the second image?!? The distressed blue & white barn boards steal the show...
