It has to start somewhere....

Melia & I had an amazing opportunity to give a little love to a great friends new condo while she was away in Dubai, Sri Lanka, Maldives....what was originally 2 weeks to complete the task turned into only 1, and in true M&K form, actually less than 48 hours! We enjoyed every second of this experience & we'd like to think of it as our "first" of many projects in our future (business :)

how to make it in america

a little late on this, but I am crushing on HBO's how to make it in america. love that the two main characters are trying to push their creative endeavors of launching a fashion piece of some kind, bootlegged leather jkts, premium denim, graphic t's. and that it's all based in NYC makes me love it more. Season 2 premieres next sunday. watch it.

sunday

i found this while flipping thru the latest Lonny. i think i need a pink sofa. mixed with blacks & whites & golds. yes.

enjoy your sunday. headed to the market to meet up with some family that's visiting, beautiful day.

oh summer...

Seattle is a summer late bloomer. We are finally reaching upper 70's while the rest of the nation is under severe heat waves. I know, the grass is always greener...actually it's very green in the NW still :)

This vintage image from Denmark made me happy & thought I must share. Thanks Danielle from BDR Studio for sharing them!

Happy July, almost August

Sweet Paul Ezine

Came across this online magazine via Tumblr today and I love it. This issue of Sweet Paul is dedicated to kids-the most adorable ideas from crafts to food. The next issue goes live on June 1st. Thought I should share (;

Circus room-those stripes are so perfect...









Cupcakes on a stick!

How sweet is this?

brown bag it...no more

i watched a great little video of an interview with Micheal Williams of ACL. He is the source for all things cool & built exceptionally well. I love getting lost in his blog because you always come away knowing more about the great details in everything. Check out the video I watched:


Gilt MANual Minute -- Factory Tour: A Continuous Lean from Gilt MAN on Vimeo.

A great piece of info I gleamed from watching this was the cool waxed canvas lunch bag he mentions from Artifact Bags: peaked my interest since I have been looking for one myself of late. Isn't this the coolest lunch bag you've ever seen? I love its simplicity and grown up feeling with the textural elements of the waxed canvas with the leather strap and the copper rivets. The price point is a little steep, but it's actually made in America and I am looking at it as an investment piece since I will never need to buy a replacement...just the other color story :)

And Happy Mother's Day to all of the beauties out there!

xxooxx
