Some places aren't meant to be designed by the book. Sometimes we have to go against the grain.  Here are some of the most unique interior designs I've seen.

Best,

here's a little party I put together for my baby turning the BIG ONE! The theme was without a doubt Superman since his name is Kal-El. (in case many didn't know, Kal-El is Superman's original Kryptonian name) 

Here's what I designed for a small intimate get together. 

The Invite

The invite was custom made by Illustrator/Artist and Creative Director at Gsting Labs. Check out his art work at his blog. The idea was to look like a comic book using his real pictures and he made it work exceptionally well! It looked better than what I had expected.

Party Details

This cute but simple Superman theme was done for my baby boy who turned the big ONE on March 9th.  I decided to do a small get together at my home using the millions of Superman paraphernalia I had since I am a HUGE Superman fan.  It was so easy to execute and so inexpensive. 

For the cake, I went with my favorite small business cake maker, Lyndie of Lyndie's Cakes.  I wanted it to look like a cape with his name on it and the Superman colors. Once again, she did a fantastic job. 

If you have a theme in mind for your next event and need help executing it, we can help you create an inspiration design board. For more info, visit our etsy shop.

Whimsical Wednesdays

..Around the web in a week.....

We always find things on the world wide web that catch our interest...We think they are cute, or we'd like to someday incorporate them in our homes or lives. Pinterest gave me the inspiration for Whimsical Wednesdays - where we give you a week's worth of cool things!! 

1. This is one refrigerator I would love to have in my home. When closed - it doesn't even look like somewhere to store food!  

2. Accessorize with these cute little handmade pillows! So fab and so chic. Handmade from a Turkish company, you can order them on Etsy. Secdus - $51

Sateen Flower Turquoise Pillow Cover

3. Such an organized and pretty little girl's room - with all the space they need to imagine and be a kid! Visit their site to learn how to create this space. Better Homes and Gardens article

4. Pair this room with the above room decor and watch your child light up! They can tell the time - even when it's dark! How adorable! Amazon - $29.99

Hello Kitty Projection Clock

5. Toronto Raptor fans get a load of these super kick ass sneakers! You can even monogram the inside flaps for a custom look. One Off Kicks - $300.

6. Pink is the color this spring and while it's not an easy shade to work into a scheme - especially if men reside in the space - used as an accent to an all white room, it's elegant and uplifting! 

7. Would you dare do this? Hanging ceiling beds! I would...! It is just amazing. 

Love these beds!

8. Some people collect vintage suitcases and use them in a variety of ways - most popularly, the side table. But have you ever seen them used this way? Would you try this?

Cool idea for Vintage Suitcases

9. Pop-up home offices don't come much more stylish than Antonio Clitterio's folding Spoon desk for Katrell. The orange color gives it a much needed pop in an otherwise boring room. It's super easy to fold up when you want to banish the office. 

Hope you enjoyed these! Tune in next Wednesday for another Whimsical Wednesdays from around the web!

One ruffled pillow adds a touch of texture to a plain room but if you assemble them with others with different colors, the look becomes an aesthetically pleasing pillow garden.

Who knew lamps could be this cute? Placing one in a modern room, adds a touch of softness without being too feminine. This particular one is from Anthropologie but you'd be surprised at how easy it is to DIY.
