I HEART PATTERN

I love love love design*sponge. I've been following a contest wherein readers submit use of pattern in their homes, other readers vote on best use, and they win gorg Lena Corwin pillow. Of course this is all in honor of the release of Lena's new book, "Printing by Hand", a ridiculously inspiring and creative book on her printing ideas. She's super amazing.

Anyhow, what I'm really trying to get at is this amazing use of pattern on one of design*sponge reader submissions. This floor is crazy awesome. I can't wait till I get my farmhouse and sand it down to paint this on. Needless to say, vote for Katherine's awesome farmhouse floor or any of the other oodles of amazing submissions.



Also, I'll leave you with one of Lena's hand printed patterns. Such a beautiful way to spruce up an old and tired dresser for a kid's room. I also love the little wood carved birds on the floor that I've seen at the MOMA store but can't find on their website. Which maybe means the universe is telling me I shouldn't walk over to the soho store to buy them, and if I did, I would hope when I got there, the universe would protect me from buying them by way of them being sold out.

***After reading this post before I published it, I edited it and noticed my superfluous use of words like "awesome" "crazy""amazing""super". I apologize I was excited, and next time I'll use my thesaurus.
