butterfly chair

let butterflies migrate to your living room on this papillon chaise by d.sign21. the designer envisioned hundreds of butterflies chasing each other: i am not sure if it comes in custom colors, but i like the concept!

taxidermy

all week i have been working late and therefore sleeping late. this morning i was feeling uninspired. yes, just generally uninspired! so: into cyberspace for a visual pick-me-up, and lo-and-behold found it at one of my favorite blogs, "inspiration resource" (duh!). the story is about deyrolle, a taxidermy shop in france, which has an amazingly rich history of collecting rare and endangered (dead) animals. unfortunately, there was a horrible fire there in february, but the website with photos lives on! the butterfly specimens are so beautiful: i would love to have them for myself, but i think displaying dead things in one's home is probably bad feng shui.
