My Ideal Bookshelf

These photos were taken last December when the Powerhouse Arena was having an exhibition for the book called “My Ideal Bookshelf“. After posting some photos last week from PA, I remembered that I hadn’t posted these here… It was really interesting and awesome to look at all the art from the book.

Original paintings by artist Jane Mount showcase the selections, with colorful, hand-lettered book spines and occasional objets d’art from the contributors’ personal bookshelves. IMG_5198

It’s a perfect coffee table book, too, if you are looking for one.

Design*Sponge at Home

Last night, I was so happy to open my amazon.com order — my pre-ordered copy of Design*Sponge at Home had finally arrived! Grace and the team had been working on this book for the last two years and it really shows their hard work in every single page! Amazing!

Love these chapter opener pages — behind the scene post was very inspiring, too.

Congratulations, Grace and the team!!

I know what I’m going to be doing for the next few days… :) Happy Friday and weekend, everyone! xo Hijiri

p.s They are giving away the book!
