Paris vs New York

I’m always looking at prints. I’m not sure why; it’s not as though I have an empty wall where I can display all the art that I want. Huh. Note to self: have an art wall in my future home.

For now, I’m really loving this series featuring a pop art comparison between quintessentially Parisian and New York icons. It’s a nice homage to two very beautiful and well-loved cities, and I love that many of these pieces have the right amount of quirk. I’d actually really love to own a couple of these. If I could just find a space to put them…

Here are my favourites:

Lyric Records

Spotted over at Design*Sponge (arguably one of the best Design sites on the web – or at least one of my favourites), these lyric records by Quiet Boy Studio is the perfect blend of two of my biggest passions – music and typography. Seriously, how ridiculously gorgeous are these?!

Hand painted on an LP, they’re US$75.00 each and you can get a custom one for the same price. I’d really, really love to get one (or two, or three!) but can’t for the life of me decide on what lyrics I want! :(

Any ideas?

Swede Apartment Stalking

I blogged about this perfect Swedish apartment a couple of months back. Designed by Alvhem, a Swedish interior firm, I am really inspired by their style and their use of the colour white in all their projects. My very Asian mother will tell me it’s not the most practical of colours, but you can’t deny that it’s gorgeous and offers one a great palette to work with, leaving plenty of room for creativity.

Some of these apartments are up for sale. Now, if only I had some Krona to spare…
