Happy Friday!! Hope you have something warm and cozy planned for this Winter weekend.

Here’s our Weekly Six for the week ending January 20, 2012:

1) Kelly of Design Crush has put together a delicious list of dips – it’s almost Super Bowl, so these suggestions have good timing!
2) Loving this modern clocks made from concrete.
3) Check out these historical B & W photos that have been rendered into color photos – they’re causing quite the argument in the comments at Designboom.
4) These DIY confetti-filled lanterns would make a fun birthday surprise – no matter what age the person is!
5) One can never have too much neon – which is why I’m needing these awesome neon and metallic notecards.
6) Finally, go take a look at this curated dream home over at La Dolce Vita – always a fun column to read!

As always, feel free to share any good reads you’ve found over the past week!

As seen on Trendir this week, the REWASHLAMP project is a series of lamps made from recycled washing machine parts.

Designed by Portuguese designer To Martin, the REWASHLAMPS are set up on a photographer’s tripod so they are height adjustable. The “lampshade” is then adorned in a variety of different materials – ranging from ping pongs to feathers to corks.

Which funky adornment would you choose?

It’s freeeeeezing outside.

Which means it’s the perfect time of the year to cozy up with a warm cup of tea or hot cocoa, put on a good movie and snuggle under a warm and cozy faux fur throw.

Sounds like a good plan, don’t you agree?!

Here are six different faux fur throws for you to choose from:
1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6

I’m not always a huge fan of red in interior design, but it seems to be growing on me. Grey, however, is one of my favorites, so that might have something to do with my fondness for today’s color combo of grey and red.

Grey and red together form a modern color scheme, and have an even greater effect when some crisp white is thrown in there. (Especially in the last image – it’s my fave!)

What do you think of a grey and red color combination?

While browsing through my Google Reader this morning, I came across these unbelievably gorgeous photos on Desire to Inspire.

The images are from the portfolio of designer Kelly Behun, a New York City-based interior designer. I’m really loving them, especially the three above. And I’m green with envy. I want those Ghost Chairs with shaggy carpet! And a huge white sectional! And a lamp that’s a chandelier! (Do I sound like bratty Veruca Salt or what?!)

If you have a few minutes, definitely visit Desire to Inspire to check out some more of Kelly Behun’s gorge interiors!

I know I’ve been talking about wall art quite often lately, but it’s because we have a big empty wall in our kitchen that desperately needs some art lovin’. But I can’t decide what to do.

Part of me loves the idea of black and white photography in a nice gallery arrangement, or perhaps all black and white with one pop of random color. But then I also like the idea of all different colors, because the wall is a semi-neutral brown that would allow some pinks, yellows and blues. If you have any advice or suggestions, I’d be glad to hear it!

The first image above is a collage I made on Art.com. To narrow down our options of wall art, we bought a Groupon for Art.com a few months ago, so that way we wouldn’t go crazy all over the Internet. I don’t know who rationalized that thought because we’ve had so much trouble narrowing down choices. So much so, that we couldn’t decide and the Groupon expired, but that’s ok. Speaking of Groupon, did you know they now offer deals in London and all of UK? I think I’ve told you that my parents live in London so Mom, if you’re reading this -check it out – they’ve got some great furniture and home decor deals there as well!

Anyway, I’m going to continue my search for the perfect look – thank God for Pinterest! Have you done anything fun in your kitchen that might help us out? Do share!
