knitted wall cover
I walked into the NY boutique LP & P this weekend, and I just stared at the back wall for a good two minutes before the shop girl snapped me out of it. The entire back wall of the store is covered in this super chunky huge amazing knit wall covering. Giant flowers and cables in tonal grey colors. It is amazing. The shop girl explained that they are known for their knitwear (which was not obvious from the summer collection, understandably) and they do doggie clothes and women's clothes as well. The shop is named after designer Catherine Fung's two dogs, Little Prince and Piggy.

ladak blankets
I spotted these on Bloesem. Ladak blankets are designed by Jantien de Wilde and Jane Stroink in Amsterdam. The blanket is made from a tough material of recycled sweaters, blankets, jeans and even parts of mattresses. They then embellish with pretty lace and trims. Not only are the blankets made from recycled materials, but 15% of the proceeds will go to a shelter for the homeless in Amsterdam. Your comfort is theirs!
I'm not sure if you can order these on the US, but it is a great idea to embellish an old blanket you might usually use for picnics.

green house
I love this Greenhouse waste paper basket spotted on siagraphica designed by Jantze Brogard Asshoff. The designers exhibited at design fair Salone Satellite in Milan.
I also love this whimsical key hole cabinet called "Peek" !

window art
I spotted these window films by Emma Jeffs on Oh Joy! They are beautiful! I love it on the French doors. They actually remind me of the window that caught my eye at barometer. Theirs is made out of some sort of lace, or a velvet burnout, but from afar it could look like these films.
