A cooking hood definitely does not need to be boring. You can be creative and design something that will add some artistic flair. What is typically a common fixture in many kitchens can become and abstract sculpture by using strong geometrical forms and pure white color. The kitchen hood pictured here is the work of architects Lhoas & Lhoas. They created this unique hood as part of the renovation of a typical Brussel's home.
I had the pleasure of chatting with my former assistant, Judson, this morning. He has recently started his own design blog full of tips, tricks, design ideas and great accessories for the home. When I checked out his blog I ran into this amazing "Alphabot" screen print from Bold and Noble. I absolutely love anything with robots, so this print immediately spoke to me.

This whimsical, yet functional bookshelf is the creation of french designer, Olivier Dollé. The branch bookshelf is composed of more than eighty pieces of birch plywood and veneered oak wire. This contemporary piece is a lovely way to bring nature into the home.
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought I would feature Peter Sandback's Cherub Lamp. The ornate creation is made of white painted cast metal. It is available in the desk lamp, (shown here), or an even more dramatic floor lamp.
