I came across Hannah’s work a couple weeks ago while browsing around over at Mint and immediately bookmarked it. Hannah is a 19 year old baker, gardener and photographer from Georgia. Her photographs are amazing. What a talent.

Visit Hannah’s shop, Honey and Jam Photography, on etsy.

If you are looking for a more graphic/ masculine approach to invites and paper goods, I would recommend Raspberry Creations by Rasideas. Everything is customizable and you can choose from multiple color options.

These two were my favorite designs, but there are plenty of other styles to check out over on to the Raspberry shop, Rasideas. And also visit Raspberry creations on papernstitch.

1 comment Room by Room – the Mies van der Rohe MR Chair by


This week, Room by Room with FormFire Glassworks takes a look at an iconic transitional piece, the Mies van der Rohe MR Chair.

Originally created in 1927 with a tubular steel frame and wicker caning seat, this simple chair fits nicely into both the minimalist modern home as well as into a warmer, more natural setting. Designed as part of the MR Collection, Mies’ chair is available with leather seating and padding, and also comes as a side chair, without arms. Personally, I am a fan of the wicker version, which keeps the clean lines of the shapely frame, while adding texture and warmth. The slight springiness of the steel frame makes this a comfortable piece, and its spare construction makes it a light addition to a dining room, home office, or as an extra chair in a living area.

This combination of simple line combined with tactile sensation led me to an eclectic selection of handmade accessories. I love the melding of authentic materials and simple forms. A concrete box houses an indoor thermometer, while bowls of a similar material hold succulents that bring in a contained piece of nature. Linen baskets hold oft-used items, and add substance with their leather handles. A set of simple porcelain vases counterbalance texture with a touch of smoothness, and a walnut base lamp with an Edison bulb adds the warmth of wood and a modern twist on an antique look.

Next week I will choose a new iconic piece and give you my picks for accessorizing your modern home.
