pinata party time

February 1st, 2010 by caitlin

ada has asked for a pinata for her birthday this year (thanks a lot dora!) so i’m combing flickr for inspiration. again, i LOVE the internet — bringing to light so many zany sub-cultures.  an ass-shaped pinatas it is!

My friend Shauna alerted me to the work of South Korean artist Yeondoo Jung. Based on a number of children’s drawings he created this series of photographs called ‘Wonderland.’
i love.

websiiiiiiiite!

January 25th, 2010 by caitlin

sorry all. we hit a bit of a bump these past weeks: no internet service, issues in the supply chain, my weak coding skills (highly skilled at looking at the web, not so much on the ‘creating’ side), and on and on.

Still some block production issues  (hopefully this is resolved soon), but in the meantime here’s a link to a new and incredibly crude (i’m going to start using the term ‘minimal’) little house website (more of a place holder really — working towards a better website soon).

ok. clearly we need to do a bit better getting our actual company name “little house” out there,  AND an actual website (see ‘to do list’), but i’m really thrilled about this write up on Inhabitots today. thanks to Abigail Doan for the lovely writing, and once again — yay kee!

i wish this was my house

via the blog fine little day i discovered a link to this doll house museum.

we’ve just moved into a new apartment and i’m having major decor envy:

this really is my dream asymmetrical a-frame (i want to live in a ski chalet)!  and all the other interiors are just amazing. here’s a sample from the 70’s section:
