Don't Stand On The Cracks in Paris

fabric decorated pavements in Paris
I love this idea. Juliana Santacruz Herrera decided to decorate the cracks in the pavements of the Paris streets with fabric.
When I was a child we used to walk for miles whilst avoiding the cracks in the pavements. Who would want to stand on these? Found at Freshhome

At the moment I am busy turning our rear garden into an outside room of sorts. It is a most satisfying project. It seems that the sky is the limit when it comes to containers. Take a look at what the stylists have done to the Conran Shop in Paris. Inspirational! Via Trend Pulse
