This has been quite a busy summer for me. I haven’t been able to blog as much as I’d like. I decided to close out the summer with a little help from the blogosphere. I’ll be switching things up a bit and each week, rather than new content, I’ll be sharing interesting articles from around the web. I’ll return to the regular schedule in September.
P.S. If you’re in NYC, don’t forget to check out the Gift & Home Textiles Market Week:

Having lived in London, I know firsthand how gloomy some days can be. British firm Ab Rogers Design found a clever way to add light inside a city dwelling. The Rainbow House, considered to be “living artwork”, incorporates color, movement and fantasy to create a home design that is full of surprises. The focal point of the home is a spectrum-colored spiral staircase and skylight that create a virtual rainbow from ground floor to top floor. Mirrored walls in the bathroom mimic a prism. “Brick roads” – each floor was painted a corresponding hue to the stairs on its level – and a fully functioning slide, create a fairytale feel in this urban home.
The house even has a short film. Check it out here:
