Pop goes my heart....

I can't help it. Sometimes I get sucked into the dangerous spiral known as the pop culture blogosphere. I almost emerged unscathed this morning, but barely.

Thank Goodness I have my favorite design blogs to come back to and set my head straight.

Now completely unrelated... I've been getting Cookie Magazine. I don't know why. In fact I get a whole heap of magazines that I never recalled ordering, least of all one regarding parenting. So I send it to my sister. Looking over briefly, I realized it's actually really cool, and focuses on some pretty rad design for the home with child. My heart is definitely Popping over these reader designs below.

I was definately inspired by these from Benita in Sweden:


They're not currently on her etsy shop, but Benita created those adorable bird banners above the sofa.


Benita etched the glass herself with her son's name on his bedroom door.


I love Wille's bottle cap collection, and how Benita displayed it for him in shadowboxes so everyone can appreciate it.


Another great collection of maps.

I'm also diggin' Lisa's digs from Venice Beach, CA. Clean, modern, kid friendly & Scandinavian with a touch of beach. Just what I love...
