LOVE the round-up of kid workspaces over at remodelista. Here’s a taste:

Flickr member atelierpompadour has this lovely open space for her studio. I love the punches of bright color. You can find out more about on her blog, and you can shop her etsy store here.

Looking at neat and lovely offices is so inspiring. I thought I’d find a few to share today. The first comes from flickr member Lillian Day, who lives in Vienna, Austria. The PERFECT use of “Woods” by Cole and Son. So light. So bright. So spare. I swoon:

Through a chance meeting at a casual dinner a week or so ago, I had the privilege of meeting Heather Knight, a very talented ceramicist who just moved to Atlanta from Asheville. Heather is still getting settled in her new digs (in fact, the kiln isn’t even firing up yet), a live/work space in Decatur that serves as home for her Element Clay Studio.

Heather was nice enough to let me take a peek around and snap some shots when I came to pick up a few pieces I’d purchased from her etsy store.

It was fun to see where she created all of her intricate work, and after seeing it, I appreciated her inspiration board that much more:

This is her assistant and head of security, Henry:

I love the way Heather styles her work, especially these tiles. This is the image she uses on her logo:

By the way, my cruddy cellphone pictures are not doing the work justice. I highly recommend looking at it more closely on Heather’s site or on etsy.

Pardon my exterior afterthought shot with the open car door. I was in a hurry to get to Chik-Fil-A. It’s impossible to go to Decatur without a stop there, well, except when you go on a Sunday, since they are closed, which is always horrendously disappointing when you make a Chikkie run and forget.

I’m trying out the insert gallery button here just to sneak in the extra shots. Yes, I am about three years behind the curve with this. Or is it more like ten? Anyway, yea or nay to the “Insert Gallery” doohickey? Let me know in the comments.

It was just too nice out this weekend to hang around with the computer. Thus, my links from the week are late. Here are a few favorites:

1) Check out all the amazing workspace inspiration over at emmas designblog:

2) From Dwell Daily Blog: Edible Estates Demonstration Garden:

3) From neverslapthegiftmonkey: Digital prints from the New York Public Library Archives. A lot of these are very John Derian-esque (via swissmiss):

4) A dash of Corb from modern house notes:

5) More shipping container architecture via Inhabitat. This time it’s a house in Redondo Beach. By the way, you can vote for Inhabitat for the Cooper Hewitt Design Award right here.
