After seven years of painting 30 van portraits, Artist Kevin Cyr will be having a solo exhibition at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York City from May 19 through June 16, 2012. Inspired by vintage vans spotted throughout Brooklyn and Queens, Kevin is especially partial to derelict Chevys and dinged up Fords from the 70s. The more character the van has, the more fun it is to paint!

I recently spotted a sensational bouquet of paper flowers inside my favorite (and the ultimate) boutique for creative inspiration, Castles In The Air. A combination of Mexican paper flowers and those ever so popular tissue paper pom poms, these vibrant and cheerful flowers make perfect ornaments for any celebration. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to make!
You’ll need:
- 6 – 7 pieces of 180 gram florist crepe paper cut into 20″ x 30″ sheets (it’s important to use heavyweight crepe paper for it’s stretchiness and strength)
- 6 – 7 small binder clips or large paper clips
- 16 gauge floral wire (last seen here)
- heavy duty scissors

How would you like to spend a day in this pod-shaped treehouse, built 33 feet high in a tall redwood, near Auckland, New Zealand?! Designed by Pacific Environments Architects, the treehouse was originally constructed as part of a marketing campaign for a local company and operated as a full service restaurant. Though it is no longer taking dining reservations, the award-winning treehouse is now available as a venue for private events. Honestly, magical!

We’re honestly obsessed with Plukka‘s Razor Mitten collection. Their rhodium and 18k rose gold rings are adorned with tiny white sapphires and diamonds – but precious only goes so far. These knuckle busters are razor sharp and wonderfully sinister! This week, Plukka is giving away one of these weapon-like rings as part of their Facebook contest right this way . . .

Swedish watch company TRIWA has teamed up with two of our favorite street artists, Supakitch & Koralie, for their latest collaboration. Known for their colorful Japanese manga-inspired murals, the duo translated their characteristic style into two limited edition timepieces. Each watch is made of stainless steel, hand cut acetate and mineral glass . . . supa-fresh!
**fingers crossed**
