Inspiration: Jason + J.R.'s House

Two of my favorite people—Jason and J.R.—and their fabulously stylish home are featured on Apartment Therapy today. Even when Jason had a tiny studio apartment in NYC it was so cleverly appointed that it always felt fresh and never cluttered. I can only aspire to his heights of home decorating prowess. You're a genius, Jason. And you mix a great cocktail, J.R.

Charley Harper

I was perusing the over-stuffed kid's clothes racks at Old Navy when I stumbled upon these gorgeous Charley Harper flash cards. How excited was I to find out that Old Navy is selling an entire line of Harper products—appropriate for either the toddler, designer or animal lover on your Christmas list. Charley Harper's illustrations are unmatched in their beautiful simplicity and economy of form and line. I love, love, love them. Shortly before his death in 2007, Charles Harper collaborated with Todd Oldham on Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life: a loving tribute to an amazing, prolific, inspiring artist.

It's THAT Time of Year

'Tis the season for designers the world over to agonize over the daunting yearly task of coming up with the perfect holiday card. It's also the time for conspicuous consumption of sugary treats, high fat cocktails (booze + cream = nirvana), slow cooked meats, and decorative typefaces. Try some free holiday fonts or a dingbat or two to get you in the mood.
