Home Inspired: Housewarming Gift Ideas by Terry

Moving into a new place is exciting! Well, packing boxes and lugging a mattress up three flights isn’t super fun, but *being in* a new place is cause for celebration. Inspired by the prints we designed with traditional good wishes for a happy home (which we wrote about here) each of us created an inspiration board to help you give the best housewarming gifts. Ever.Housewarming Style from Curious & Co. Creative

1. Berry Wine Glasses  2. Salted Bourbon Caramels  3. Curious & Co. Home Print
4. Jar Candle  5. Baguette Board  6. Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat
7. Toy Broom Set  8. Chelsea Tote

 

In case you don’t have X-ray vision, the print reads: “May this home always have bread, that we never go hungry; salt, that life may always have flavor; a candle, to light the dark times; honey, to remember life’s sweetness; a broom, to sweep troubles away; wine, that joy and prosperity may reign forever.”

Head on over to our shop to buy one for you, and one for a friend! And stay tuned for picks from Brooke and Maggie.

Bottled Up

This is not your average bottle cap craft. Sculptor El Anatsui collects and then meticulously flattens, shapes, and punctures thousands of bottle caps before wiring them together to create these stunning (not to mention massive) curtains.

I cannot imagine how awe-inspiring these must be to see in person. If you’re near the Brooklyn Museum, you can see these works up close through August 4, 2013.

There Is Pretty

This particular gig may be long over, but we can’t stop looking at this gorgeous poster for a Decemberists show by Sean Freeman of East London’s There Is. He specializes in illustration, art direction and creative typography—and that is clear in this piece.
