Please Vote for Our Brooklyn Nest!

I have a quick favor to ask of you sweet nesters, and it just requires a little click.


I submitted Our Brooklyn Nest for The Selby CB2 contest, and I would really appreciate it if you would CLICK HERE AND VOTE FOR IT! You can then tweet, Facebook it, or scream it from the rooftops! You have seen, firsthand, how hard we work on our place, this would mean a lot. Thank you, thank you!

MOMA

Here is just a taste of my afternoon spent at MOMA. A magical, evocative place that I could just eat up. Here are two iconic design chairs in their perfect mid-centry display to get you started.

More to come!

LOVE this. Originally from this.

PULP


Tied with The Pixies as my favorite band of all-time, PULP is as stylish as it is delicious to listen to. Atmospheric, epic, sassy, moody, sexy, PULP is Brit-rock at it's best.


A pre-teen me saw the Different Class album in a record store in State College, PA, and without even listening to it, HAD to have it. Bought on site with just the aesthetic sealing the deal, I have never been so satisfied with a discovery.





As if their music wasn't enough, their tangible aesthetic slays me as well. Capturing the raw, sexy atmosphere of their sound, each album has killer art, and a lot of it. Different Class even let you choose your own album cover(!!!). Someday I will own all, framed, in my basement lounge with shag carpet and wood paneled walls.



I could devour it all.




I've been working on this entry for a minute, so I died a little seeing Apartment Therapy's post this morning on Jarvis Cocker, the lead singer as a style icon.



Even his offspring is equally as stylish.

Twitter Trailer



Friend, Erik Beck, of Indy Mogul fame, made this about-to-go-viral Twitter trailer for his show Rated Awesome. A hilarious parody of the Facebook trailer, star-studded with the internet's favorites. And me.

Wire Design


House Beautiful recently tweeted a trio of wire decor, including this red wire bowl and Cargo Chair.


The bowl is from Ikea and the chair was created by Stephan Schultz. This incredibly unique and crazy cool wire sculpted piece intrigues me. Stark, linear and modern, or fill it yourself with whatever you choose!



Would you fill it or would you leave it empty?



I am loving this genre and may just have to DIY some wire pieces myself.
