good morning! today i’m kicking things off with this beautiful shelving project from designer benjamin peters. the u*shelf is a modular shelving unit that allows the user to build and shape the shelving system to meet their own needs. you can create a variety of random shapes and the components themselves are both lightweight and sturdy. click here for more information on benjamin’s work and here to contact him about purchase.

also, over at the d*s guest blog, amy has a fantastic post about artist hattie newman. she creates fairy tale-type worlds made of paper birds, gingerbread men and rainbow-colored villages. click here to check out her incredible work.
