Introducing . . . The Laura Kirar Collection

Arteriors Home has just launched the beautiful Laura Kirar Collection!

from her website: "A designer with the soul of an artist, Laura completed her degree in sculpture and interior architecture at the prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her passion for artistic exploration in numerous mediums has continued to infuse her work with originality and thoughtful attention to detail."

One of the new pieces we love is Laura's Leaves and Seeds Pendant Light.

Laura says that her design inspiration for the fixture was a French 1930's necklace that she owns. The brass, bronze, and resin piece is 27" long and BEAUTIFUL!

Another beautiful light is the Caviar Cluster Pendant. Laura designed a truly unique piece that blends a modern, industrial feel with luxurious elegance.

It's a special collection - we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Thirteen and South Blog - More Industrial

Thanks for the mention....

Naomi of Thirteen and South blogged recently about "industrial goodness" and featured the Metal Production Table (shown above) and the Rivets Chair (shown below) from Clayton Gray Home.

Isn't it nice to be mentioned? It just really makes our day around here! So, after taking a few minutes to poke around the Thirteen and South blog, we were immediately grinning from ear to ear. Naomi has taken on a fun renovation project -- her own home! Even though the project is in the "not so fun stage" of electrical and AC ducts, readers can see a play-by-play of the entire project as directed from a design professional.

Certainly not a novice in this area, Naomi and her dad, Andrew (shown above) run the construction business Design Manifest in Philadelphia, PA.

The family-run business has 35 years of experience under their belts, so we're pretty sure they can handle this project. In the meantime, we'll stay updated with her blog to see how things are coming along. Don't worry Naomi - we still think you are cool!
