WHO: Jan of Poppy Talk – a Canadian designer and blogger known for collecting inspiration and promoting emerging design talent.

CURRENTLY LOVING…"Things that are really pulling me in right now are hand-lettering, along with a combination of vintage mixed with modern.  Like a real modern chair against a wall with vintage signage.  I love a room to look like it just happened.  Not really planned, not perfect, but just there in a layed back way.  I don’t know what that look is called, but books piled a mile high from the floor, pictures hung in different frames in such a way that it doesn’t look too pre-meditated yet still well read."

I’m loving the new collage pillows from Jonathan Adler (bottom center); ceramics by Circa Ceramics (bottom left, top right); a wood-framed sofa like this danish modern Peter Hvidt daybed sofa (top left) I recently spotted on eBay;  some beautiful hand embroidery work placed in cut metal forms (top center) by canadian suzanne carlsen (suzann[email protected]) and hand stitched art work by etsy artist, S. Tudyk (bottom right).
