Dave is off on a little sabatical so I’m taking over on Weekenders. My mind set this week will be focused on sophistication for miscellaneous interior design products and art. You won’t find these in the 99 Cents stores. They are a few steps above in quality.
Home Portfolio - This is one of the best sites I’ve seen for search engines on interior and exterior design solutions. Nice layout as well.
Boyd Lighting - Following that link above I found this lighting manufacturer. Very sophisticated.
Sharon Courtney - For the pianist or opera singer, this mixed media of photography and art is terrific.
Bodum Drinkware - For the hot summers coming up, chill your heat away with this line of double wall glassware.
Debage - This is not my cup of tea but if you want to be a Queen for the Day, the bedding is right out of the Rococco period. Not great for hot flashes, I presume.
John Prince - Plays croquet and paints! Very talented man!
Gus Modern - For those who love the lean modern furnishings, this is simply that.
Giving Tree - The most luxurious linens around. Wow! I’d love to feel what 1020 count sheets feel like. Just might have to save up my pennies.
Green Feet - Save the earth! Bamboo Disposable plates and utensils. Group your table setting with the tumblers above from Bodium and you’ll have great conversation pieces for your next outdoor party.
Wilshire Garden - Time to replace the mailbox. How about a copper one?
Happy shopping and have a great weekend!

I’m in hardcore depression over the Laker’s loss to The Celtics last night, so if I’m a bit too snarky, that’s the reason. Enjoy these while I cry.
Silk Fair - Michele’s been on a craft kick lately. In an effort to help her hock her wares, I’m digging up sites like this one. If she goes that route, we’ll let you know.
Movin’ On Up - Climbing stairs need not be boring. Check out these alternative staircase ideas.
Recycled Light - Seriously? Used BIC pens to make a chandelier? Things like this make me wonder if I really have any creativity at all.
Full Moon - I’m not sure how I feel about this cabinet. It’s awesome, but would it keep me up at night?
ISO50 for Obama - Scott Hansen has long been one of my favorite poster designers. Love it or hate it, this Obama poster is pretty dang cool.
Nicola Hancock - As you know, we pretty much dig the abstract art around here. Nicola is this week’s hot selection.
Viva La Graffiti - Stencil Revolution is a site dedicated to street art, namely stencils. Again, love it or hate it, the movement can’t be denied.
Best to Market - Not completely about design, but still an important video about how we look at being first vs. being best.

It seems to be that we’ve been focusing on art a lot lately. Who am I to buck the trend.
Matthew Matsuoka - Sumptuous! That’s the first word that comes to mind when I see this work.
Gesundheit - How cool would Dennis Wojtkiewicz look over your mantle or in your kitchen? Very cool, I think.
Alina Maksimenko - I love this loose style. It’s they way I paint… if I were anywhere near this good.
Bad Trip - There’s something very creepy yet appealing about Anthony Bennett’s portraits. Would Warhol appreciate Bennett’s representation?
Jennifer Coates - The size of the images do not do this woman’s work any justice. Get a magnifying glass, you’ll thank me later.
How Much? - The Art News Blog reports that Lucian Freud is now the most expensive living artist. I guess I’ll have to love his work from afar.
Rebecca Campbell - This site has some really clunky navigation, but Campbell is so prolific, it’s worth the journey.
Full Circle - Paintings of lamps and interior, it all makes sense now.
…and for something completely different.
Daft Charleston - Al Mins and Leon James in one of the coolest video mashups I’ve seen. See this Daft Punk video for reference.
