Sponsor spotlight: coniLab says it all

Conilab_posters

Walls with messages are always a good idea … they give you food for thought or start a conversation … I like the Hi! Coni, a graphic designer living in Barcelona has thought of some great lines and screen-printed them in perfect matching fonts. 

I love the fact that these posters are not printed by a machine but screen printed by hand. Which one would you choose for your home … I think I would start with 'Life is Now ' and 'We are a team' … just missing one toothbrush for my family 🙂

Do you know that I always have a couple of these kind of posters at home … just in case I need a present.

The lovely people from Oh My Home send me one of their gorgeous new posters … Taking Breaks is perfect for our Amsterdam apartment … because this is going to be our place where we will be during our vacations … relaxing, resting, enjoying and taking breaks!

I haven't had time yet to frame the poster but while looking for a spot where to hang it I made some pictures for you. The poster is not just paper … it's  plasticized … meaning  higher quality and longer lasting.

Sponsor spotlight: Chris Knight – 27 June

Chrisknight

 

Photographer and visual artist Chris Knight from Chicago travelled all over the world… and photographed bands like Radiohead and U2! Constantly searching for new ways to print his images on and turning them into little pieces of art. I have never seen prints on small stones before, have you? But I kinda like these little cuties … 

The stars and stripes on wood are my favorite and will look cool in any room.
