hiroshi nakamura and NAP architects designed this idyllic modern green roof home off the shores of Minamiboso Japan. I truly hope that it was left unharmed by the wake of the Tsunami.

Happy Earth Day! may it be a part of your everyday.

Wearable Planters

It's easy being green with these wearable little planters by Atlanta artist/designer Colleen Jordan. Just sporting one of these sweet little planters lets everyone know you are pro Mama Earth, the top two are my faves! PS Colleen is offering free domestic shipping and a packet of wildflower seeds when you use the code PRETTYSPRINGTHINGS, more info here

Australian designer Martin Grant lives in this classically rustically modern apartment in Paris. The light filled rooms make me want to relax on the sofa for days. Those beams are to die for and every piece of furniture is perfection. The only thing I would change is the bathroom tiles and I would need a few plush rugs, sorry Martin.

can't keep my eyes off of you.

okay, i know it's rude to stare but when you see someone who is wearing something totally rad you can't help but to give a nonchalant glance or two or three. this is why i am obsessed with the Portland blog Urban Weeds, the ever so talented northwest-based photographer Lisa Warninger lets you check out Portlands hipsters from the comfort of your sofa and she even gives you the scoop on where they scored their urban couture. and hey there is no need to make a fool of yourself by trying "not" to stare ; )
