ork poster love

When P. and I were in Chicago for a mini-break in July, we passed by a frame store and saw this cool graphic poster. I have a thing for typography, so I just had to have it! And what a great momento from our trip - a decor statement without the cheese factor of the usual gift shop junk! 

Created by Ork Posters, I just took a boo at their website and was happy to see that the poster was printed on 100% recycled paper with soy-based inks! And that they have a city neighbourhood poster for many other places. The Toronto poster is coming soon! Be sure to check our Ork...I really like their heart poster too.

Happy weekend!

white board envy: idea paint

Do you remember Melanie's chalkboard envy a while back? I love a good chalkboard wall myself. But the other day on Apartment Therapy I saw this cool thing too: IdeaPaint - a paint that can transform an entire wall into a dry-erase white board! Just think of all the places you could write and draw...you could probably do a lot of funky decorative things with it. Not to mention all of the To Do lists I could make {yes, paper nerd is list nerd too}! Bye bye chalky dust...this is pretty darn cool.
