Love the numbers in varied typefaces on this chalkboard wall. . .I know you can change it, but I'd love to have this up on the wall all the time! p.s. Be sure and peek over at the mstetson blog for lots for design goodness! (images via mstetson, link via d*s)
I'm sure you've heard of Lines & Shapes {another amazing collaborative project from two very talented creatives, Maria Vettese & Lena Corwin}, but I just had to comment on what a wonderful logo this is. {links via freshly blended}
I feel like I just got through pouring over DFM's Inspiration {free!} e-zine Issue 1 and yesterday Erin posted Issue 2! Below is one of my favorite pages in the latest issue. A simple yet powerful inspiration that's definitely going up where I can see it daily. Erin, I'm thinking this needs to made into a poster and put in your Etsy shop! {as if 5000 handmade, one-of-a-kind treetings and fabulous e-zine's weren't keeping you busy already}
Love this updated composition book featuring original cover designs by Artist-Illustrator Greg Paprocki available at See Jane Work.
I’m a believer in what I like to call “hardcore” design. This is design focused on results. It can employ any of a multitude of treatments. It’s not personal in nature, unless this is in fact necessary. Hardcore design is driven by insight, strategy and purpose.(via core77)
How fun are these floor plan plates from {one of my favorites} Fishs Eddy. (link and image via ATNY)
Julie and Kathryn from the lovely perfectbound blog have a wonderful post today on black and white over at the design*sponge guest blog. I'm especially taken by this pic, especially the polka dots! Wouldn't it be great to paint the inside of a window seat or reading nook with polka dots? (image via d*s guest blog)
This shirt is business casual. (via our friend visiting us from out of town)
Great poster {and campaign} for Blunt.Films. by Mike Montgomery (via ffffound)
I picked up Lightweights several years ago on one of my usual Barnes & Noble impluse purchases and it's one of my favorite little books in our library. And I've recently found {via delight} photographer Sharon Montrose's blog! Anyways, since it's you know what day, I couldn't resist posting these crazy cute basset hound puppies. If this doesn't get your heart all warm and fuzzy, I don't know what would.
For the very brave, a fabulous paper cut how-to from Skinny laMinx. (via craftzine)
As always, if I'm going to have color on this blog, I'm going to have lots of it! Drawing by Jacob Magraw is the latest edition from the very addicting 20x200.
On Tuesday February 26 at 2 p.m. EST, PaperSpecs is presenting a free letterpress webinar featuring Judith Berliner, owner and founder of Full Circle Press {who partners with a day in may design on absolutely gorgeous wedding invitations}. (link and image via how)
LOVE in Times Square, a public art project featuring 15 unique banner designs by 12 top graphic designers and illustrators. Each banner utilizes the word “LOVE” in a strikingly different typographic treatment, as each artist brings their personal interpretation to the word. (link via design observer)

I'm a huge fan of type on ceramics. . .these beauties are by artist Kylie Johnson of Paper Boat Press. (link and image via bblinks)
Party like it’s MCMXCIX! Haha, "XXX" would be so much more fun for a big 3-0 cake! (via notcot)

Sweet kitchen cupboard gocco print from labpartners {found while I've got breadmaker going and apples in the oven for applesauce}. Also check out their blog!
Grace over at Design*Sponge just posted a fantastic round-up on "numbers and letters" as a mini-trend. Of course as a self-diagnosed typoholic, I think typography is always in style. . .but loved seeing this collection all put together as something that is appealing to the "general" world of design. Definitely click over and see all the type-goodness!
