Woo hoo for three-day weekends! Monday is a holiday for us, so I’m taking advantage and playing catchup with friends as well as work…

Last weekend was spent making new friends, but this weekend I’m happy to be back at home spending time with a few of my best girlfriends as we plan another friend’s bachelorette party (have I mentioned it’s the summer of weddings for me!?). Man, I love the ladies in my life! So inspiring, fun, genuine, and dang smart. Every one of ‘em.

I honestly only realized it was Memorial Day weekend a few days ago, so no big plans for me, but if you’ve got ‘em, enjoy them double for this girl! I’ll be stuck in the rain, working on some upcoming shoots, but happy to be home just the same.

Long gone are the old-fashioned chandeliers outfitted with incandescent light bulbs and enough ornament to put a Christmas tree to shame. Group-Two Design recently brought their ultra-modern LED chandelier to this year’s International Contemporary Furniture Fair, and the futuristic fixture turned heads with its intersection of new-age design and traditional interior decor. Still paying homage to the shape of a conventional chandelier, the new form is a minimalist and energy-efficient interpretation of an old classic.

Tucker Robbins showcased these simple yet beautiful pendant lamps made from repurposed fishing baskets at this year’s ICFF. The woven lamps give new life to disused fishing baskets made by local craftspeople in Sulawesi, Indonesia.  Each natural rattan lampshade can be lined with or without rice paper to give the lamp a brighter or more diffuse glow.
