THE SEARCH: Best of Design Sponge's Sneak Peek - Part 6

It's been ages since we revisited the beauty that is Design Sponge's Sneak Peek (previous posts: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 5) so picking up where we left off let's celebrate Part 6.  All images link to the original post, and for those who just want to enjoy the fruit of my labor - you're very welcome :)

THE SEARCH: Animal Style Office Supplies

Animals are taking the office supply world by storm - Lions, and tigers, and bears - OH MY!

THE SEARCH: Painted Pumpkins

I am pretty sure I will go to Halloween hell for this one, but because of HML, I have been looking for some alternatives to pumpkin carving (GASP), like painting.  Yes, it's unorthodox, and no you can't enjoy the yummy smell of toasted seeds, but you do avoid knives and flames :).

Friday Links {the explanation}

1. I bookmark (like to a fault) because often when I see something interesting, I can't always share it immediately (HML, my real job, the occasional videogame obsession) thus Friday links were born. 

2. I believe that there is an art of curating a good link round up, and I try to keep it interesting for myself, by making it smart and worthwhile for you.

3. Since Friday is the day we practically SEARCH out distractions - this is my way of giving back :)

4. Sometimes less is more.

5. I don't always have a theme, but have and do take requests.

I watched this entire video (which has THE BEST commentary by a 4-year old ever) and his little shadow is so cute - I DID IT (via The High Definite).

Newspaper Blackout makes for some good poetry (via It's Nice That).  The above print is titled Overheard on The Titanic (and unfortunately, is sold out).

Darius Twin has mad skills (via Doodler Anonymous).

I did not know this existed and now I am obsessed (just spent a full hour getting lost).

Reminders (via Swiss Miss) now go call your mother!

When a split decision is a good thing (via Like Cool).

Why am I only seeing this for the first time, it's BEYOND.

I am not one to judge (well, other than right now) but I kinda think he ruined it with the black outlines at the end - right? (via This is Colossal).

HAPPY WEEKEND friends :)

Ps. The new Facbook page is up and in full effect.  Be sure to join the conversation (unique content is always being added to help keep your stream extra interesting :).

THE SEARCH: Painted Doors

My love for painted doors started many years ago when I took a trip to San Miguel de Allende (more here if you are not familiar with the amazingness).  Everyone knows that a fresh coat of paint is the easiest and cheapest way to transform a space - but doors consistently get no love. 

AND WHY NOT? 

It's such an easy way to make a bold statement (on the inside or out) and it doesn't matter if you live high or low - it all looks fancy from the street :).
