Happy Hump Day!
For this week’s product pick, we’ve got a beautiful table lamp from Penta that is radiant and gorgeous. Also available in pendant lights, the Glo Table Lamp is made from chromed metal and borosilicate glass. It is offered in two different sizes and two different colors – either silver or gold.
The Glo Table Lamp somewhat reminds me of an oversized wine glass – which I absolutely love! It is also available as a floor lamp which would illuminate any room.
What are your thoughts on the Glo Table Lamp? Where would you put one in your home?

Designed by Tommaso Bistacchi for Valsecchi 1918 , this desk lamp holds more than a light bulb. Created from a single block of walnut, the base of the lamp also features holes and spaces for pens, crayons, letters and business cards. The lamp itself is made of metal and fits into the slit in the walnut block in many different ways and angles, depending on how much light you need.

I don’t know about your but I hate alarm clocks. I hate setting them to get up at ungodly hours. I hate the blaring alarm sounds that won’t stop as you struggle to find your clock on your bedside table and proceed to knock every single thing off it . I hate that super bright light staring at me all night long reminding me how little sleep I’m going to get

My obsession with the website Dinner: A Love Story is no secret. Literally every recipe I make from there is amazing. Like put-a-ring-on-it amazing.
One of my favorites is super-easy and super-delicious. All you have to do is throw some salmon to bake in the oven and while it’s cooking, chop some scallions and ginger and mix them with some soy sauce and oil. I usually grate the ginger to save even more time. When the salmon is done, pour the sauce over each piece and serve. This is great with roasted brussel sprouts, or any vegetable you can throw in the oven alongside the salmon!
Here is the full recipe, including the sauce, which they have added a few more items to it since the initial post, but I keep it simple with the four ingredients mentioned above.
In fact, I’m making this for dinner tonight. If you try it, let me know how it comes out!

We collaborated with MSN to profile four artists and designers we love who we think embody the same design, content and functional philosophies as the new MSN.com: design with fierce reductionism, sharing real-time trends, and being perfect for touch. We think you’ll love learning more about these four creatives. Experience their work below, and check out the all-new MSN here . I could not be more excited to talk to Aurelie Tu. Not only do I admire what she’s doing with Craftedsystems , but I can’t get enough of the gorgeous texture of her designs, patterns and wall panels. Her soft, textured vessels beg to be touched and played with rather than just looked at

In Milan, Poltrona Frau introduced the GranTorino upholstery collection designed by Jean-Marie Massaud . Inspired by the world of saddlery, this modular sofa includes a combination of fabric with sleek, hand-cut, hand-shaped Saddle Leather. The leather molds the lines and structure of the seat, including the upper part of the backrest as well as the armrests and sides. My favorite aspect of this series is the leather cover the folds over and is fastened with steel rivets. The large box-like structure actually opens up and acts as storage, and functions as a table or oversized armrest when closed

While searching for some gorgeous spaces today, I rounded some favorites and noticed the similar tone of blue in the two images. The deep color must be calling to me today!
None of these images have much in common, aside that they’re pretty places. They are each from a different room – one the bathroom, another from the kitchen, the third from a seating area and the fourth an open living room. Back to the blue, I was really in the mood for some bright white rooms today, but I felt like I’ve covered that before so I went for some color and unintentionally went for the blue and threw in some seafoam green.
Blue is a color I have a lot of in my house, but the seafoam green – not so much. However, I love it in that bathroom! How about you? Are you a seafoam green kind of person?

Happy Friday!! Hope you enjoy the first weekend in May.
Here’s this week’s Weekly Six:

2 – Wouldn’t it be fun to wear a giant hat like this every once and a while?
3 – Beautiful and bright white dressing room. How about those flowers?
4 – Light up your porch with this awesome mat.
5 – Great use of small space with this shelf and painted console.
6 – What do you think of tissue paper flowers on display?

Going off of yesterday’s product pick and my previous weekend in Miami, now I want to give my backyard and outdoor space a makeover.
So, like any normal person would, I went on Pinterest for some inspiration and here are a few things my backyard now needs:
1 – A hot pink tufted lounge area over both sides of my pool.
2 – A gigantic fire place surrounded by modern outdoor sofas.
3 – A sunken dining area around an in-ground pool – so we can eat and swim and all be at the same level. This will make the hot pink lounge areas easier to implement as well.
4 – Outdoor mirrors. How come I’ve never seen this before? Have you seen this before? Love it!!
Which of these would you include in your backyard??
