I'm obsessed with my new "Camera Bag" iPhone application (thank you Seth!), and loving the "Instant" filter that makes your snap look like a Polaroid picture. Similarly, I'm coveting these Polaroid-inspired works of art I found on a recent trip to Seattle's Velocity Art & Design.

As you may already know, I am a sucker for all things nautical. Which makes me an automatic fan of Tricia Rose's (of Coastal Cushions) bed linen line, Rough Linen, specifically the new line, St Barts.

As Tricia herself says, ""The new St Barts bedding line from http://roughlinen.com is on a mission: to bring you the charm and simplicity of life at the seaside wherever you are, with soft rumpled linen and sun-bleached colors.  You can almost smell the salt air as you drift off."

Sigh. So much less expensive than a vacation and almost just as good. Look at all of the pretty color combos!

In these February days where it's raining one moment and shinning rays of sun the next (as I vacillate between the depression of winter clouds and the optimism of spring warmth), I remind myself that I live in California(!) and need to suck it up when I'm complaining about it being 50 degrees (while New York is experiencing a "hurricane-like" snow storm). (Side note: I'm headed here tomorrow, so really, no complaints).

That said, with the official first day of spring still 3 weeks away, this morning feels especially like a change of season: I saw a flood of daffodils at the market this morning, and then found this ode to the flower on design*sponge today. I adore this shot of the different breeds and the whole post by d*s contributors Studio Choo. See all the goodness here.

I won't even bore you by pretending that I am anything but a full blown IKEA fan. Their inventory is always changing, their price point can't be beat and they, literally, have something for everyone.

Look at these wonderful cork place mats that I spotted while on the hunt for a rug. It makes me want to start eating dinners outside again. Enough winter already.

At Sunset, we love finding smart companies making beautiful sustainable products. And I'm personally crazy over modern products made from salvaged materials (look out for our March story featuring aluminum tile made from retired aircraft parts).

I was recently reminded of Vancouver-based Red Flag Designs (thanks Paul), a company making cool handbags from old sail cloth, complete with marks of their nautical origins. Turns out they're also now making handbags from surplus canvas from military tents—which I like even more.

I have been meaning to write about this for a while but haven't (you can call me lazy if you want to) ,so when I saw it covered today on design sponge, I knew that it was time (past due?).  It is no secret that we at Sunset love Flora Grub (see exhibit A and B for starters) and now we have just one more reason to add to the ever growing list!

Flora has paired up with Susie (wife of Flora's business partner) to offer beautiful arrangements and potted plant gifts on line. Check out the online cutting garden  and design sponge's report HERE.

I read about this curious looking upside-down planter on Inhabitat about a year ago, but was sad that it didn't seem to be available in US stores just yet. No longer true!

Velocity Art & Design in Seattle (and online) now carries a variety of sizes, starting at $25.

About the Boskke Sky Planter, designed by New Zealand's Patrick Morris:
Conserve water - Reduce your watering of household plants by up to 80%.
Purify your air - Breath fresh naturally filtered air.
Save your time and save your plants - Refill the self-watering planter only once or twice a month.
Save floor space - A practical planting solution for modern living areas where space can be limited.
Transform your view of nature - Look up and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Materials - Stoneware ceramic, stainless steel wire, ceiling hook and plastic plug.

The Sky Planter addresses my two favorite home topics: small space (no surface space needed!) and eco-friendly innovation. Can we get more of this combo please?

More info here. And don't miss the 20-second how-to video.

Check out this great 1stdibs article on super talented LA based interior designer Kishani Perera! (By the by, I love their tag line of, "The Most Beautiful Things on Earth". You had me at "beautiful", 1stdibs.)

Remember when Kishani showed us how to fake a Roman shade in last October's issue? (I don't mean to imply that we scooped 1stdibs, but we might have scooped 1stdibs.)

The other day I was wandering around the internet and stumbled on the Home Shopping Network. (Ok, ok, I followed Nate Berkus there. Is that so wrong?) I wasn't that surprised to see Mr. Burkus there, considering his past tv relationship history,  but I was pretty surprised to see John Robshaw on HSN, pimping his pillows.

If that weren't enough of a shock, I realized that you can purchase the pillows outright or with 2 or 3 (dare I say, 'easy?) payments. That, readers, is NOT available on John Robshaw's other site. I had never considered purchasing pillows on lay away but, with pillows that cost over $100, I can see the point. Check it HERE.
