I’ve had home decorating on my mind a lot lately and have been seriously ogling these gorgeous, modern art prints by Kamal. The organic shapes featured in the lovely letterpress prints have such a vibrant energy and would bring a bit of modernity and movement to any room, and I’m loving the touches of gold and the versatile, kraft chipboard backdrops. Check out all of the available prints in Kamal’s shop.

Weekly Wrap #134 : Silver + Kraft Gift Wrap

November 02, 2012 // kristen // 2 replies

It’s silver. It’s kraft. It’s both! This reversible gift wrap from CB2 combines a metallic and kraft, two of the big trends this holiday season (more on that later), and you can use the wrapping paper to create an endless array of pretty packages. Use one side, use the other, or mix and match for a high contrast look that’s a modern take on classic black and white.

Weekly Wrap #130 : Charles Lahti

September 28, 2012 // kristen // 1 replies

I was instantly entranced by this gorgeous gift wrap by artist and master printmaker, Charles Lahti, for Kate’s Paperie. The unique, screenprinted designs are filled with Gothic and Medieval-inspired imagery that makes the art historian in me practically giddy with dark-edged delight. Reserve these beauties for special gifts, or hang them on the wall as beautiful pieces of art.
