Bakery With Basket Concept.

A bread bakery opens up with the interior concept that is reminiscent of an old-fashion woven basket. The interiors are integral into how the bakery operates, as the wall behind the cashier serves as display and merchandise storage. It also has a relationship to the boh, which allows less square footage for boh and more for consumers. Genius.

Ethereal Gradients.

These stunning and delicate structures are individually threaded by the artist, Gabriel Dawe. There lies something that is extremely poetic and beautiful in the way the colors interact with each other. The structures are seemingly deceptive as they look like color is being sprayed from the sprinklers of the existing architecture.

Through the years, I've managed to accumulate all different types of pencils. And because of its natural design evolution, the old wooden ones just don't cut it for me anymore. Here's a cute tidbit to make them into useful stamps for your other DIY projects. :)

Handwritten Stamp.

Granted writing those love letters and snail mails are somewhat of a dying art-form, Etsy's Lettergirl shop sells customizing self-inking address stamps.

DIY: Cheap Art.

When dressing up your walls with fun artwork, why not let them be one of your own? Coming across the "Whatever" blog, which posts how to melt your way into having a sculptural gradient of your own. All you need is are crayons, a canvas, and a hairdryer (preferably a heat gun if available!).
