bits of inspiration – #65.

Looks like it’s time to go out and buy that Powerball ticket! This 4,000 sq ft. penthouse condo in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood has officially gone on the market and the renderings are truly incredible. As I’ve written before on this blog, the combination of modern and vintage styles are really my favorite aesthetic and it looks like the architects/designers on this project have executed this remarkably well. Check out more photos on the official property listing here.

bits of inspiration – #60.

It would seem that the theme of this week (or at least the last couple days) is hanging floral installations! In a moment of serendipity, I saw today that @leslievilleflea tweeted an article where lifestyle blogger Anne Sage breaks down how to create these whimsical hanging floral pieces. The article suggests creating a hanging installation in place of cut flowers on a table to free up more space for food. I have to say I really love this idea for anyone who has exposed beams in their home. And incidentally, this perfectly reflects back on my last post about floral installation artist Rebecca Louise Law.
