pure green.

there’s a brand new online magazine and it’s just launched its premier issue — pure green living, edited and compiled by Celine MacKay, also of the blog pure green. the magazine was inspired by celine’s hope to share her belief that good design doesn’t have to come at such a high cost, environmentally speaking anyway.

The premier issue features work from Simply Grove, Dottie Angel, Knack Studios, Poppytalk and many others — an online community, sharing eco style design picks, new products and ideas, DIY projects, green homes, travel, organic recipes and more. pure green living will feature a strong undercurrent of handmade culture; support small businesses and features green designers from around the world. You can view pure green living online here.



i spy: the deep blue sea.
you may have felt a bit of an absence from a familiar and much beloved face around here lately. the talented mrs. french of bliss, who’s posted her blissful inspirations regularly on thursdays for some time now is taking a much deserved maternity leave to rest up and await the arrival of her baby girl.

so to fill the void, i thought i’d play a little ‘i spy‘. i loved that game as a kid, initiated by my parents to occupy my brother and i, bored out of our skulls, as we cruised cross country on our family vacations. ‘i spy with my little eye, something that is — red, green, yellow etc.’. one person secretly choose an object that they can ‘spy with their little eye’ and the others take turns to guess the name of the object. i’m going to take the game to a new level, and ‘spy‘ a new color theme each week. this week, i spy the tumultuous blue-green shades of the deep blue sea.

i spy: pistachio ice cream.

{rummage}
don’t ask me why exactly, but i felt very drawn to these colors recently, and found myself pinning a whole array of images on my pinterest boards all somehow reflecting this pastel palette of minty green, gray, and soft peachy-pink and orange tones. i was quite surprised to see the commonality in colors, and thought they’d make a pretty post, if for nothing else but a bit of inspiration. and, because for some reason they make me imagine pistachio ice cream.

the grass is always greener.

this weekend i happened upon this beautiful image from flickr photographer Au fil de… (above), and it just made me think of all that really fresh green grass that grows abundantly this time of year in the Marin Headlands. I love bits of bright chartreuse or lime green in decor, too, so I thought it’d be fun to take a peek at some rooms with that spring fling going on.
