Wallpaper

February 9th, 2011

I discovered Wall & Deco on SwissMiss and now want to wallpaper every room in my house. I don’t know if I could choose between all the great options though. A few of my favorites are Svalbard and Typology.

Portlandia

February 1st, 2011

I love this new IFC series called Portlandia. If you’re from Madison, you’ll find it hilarious too. Fred Armisen is great and my favorite episodes are “Ordering the Chicken” and “I dream of the 90s”. Watch excerpts here.

Modern Pop

January 6th, 2011

Just ordered these prints from Ryan Beshara of Modern Pop and can’t wait to get them! After the holidays, we decided to convert our office into a playroom and I think these will look great in there.

Holiday Cards

December 22nd, 2010

I just love sending and receiving actual printed holiday cards. These are my top two favorites that we’ve received via snail mail… apparently I like the multiple photo cards. (Tiny Prints & Shutterfly) I also like how everyone’s making holiday movies this year. Maybe I’ll start to upload our family videos and create something for next year. Happy Holidays!

Maya Brenner Designs

November 30th, 2010

I spotted these Maya Brenner necklaces on The Today Show and apparently all the celebrities are wearing them. I’ve yet to see anyone sport the “Wisconsin” state, but it’s there and pretty cool. Looks like you can buy them at Besselli in Green Bay or online.

Think Ink & Design

November 29th, 2010

I just sent my Holiday cards to the printer and can’t wait to get them back! For small invitation/greeting card jobs, I work with Dennis at Think Ink & Design in Madison. They do a great job (better than my home printer) and never make me feel like my small 100 run quantities are a pain.

Creative School

November 29th, 2010

Thinking of going to school? Whether you’re 17 or 70, Wisconsin has a great number of programs for creative folks. Too many to list in fact, but this site lists WI colleges and universities offering design degrees. I love Jordan Ferney’s “Advice to Myself for a Creative Career“.

Red House Stationery

November 19th, 2010

I’ve been keeping busy with freelance design work lately, so I thought I’d post a few of my recent projects. Here’s a logo and website design I did for Red House Stationery – a small company based in LaCrosse, WI that provides wedding invitations, place cards and programs for your special day.
