Geometric, Colorful, And Totally Fab

May 23, 2012

I only meant to dip my toe into the fab.com waters, but the tide sucked me right in. Fortunately, I’ve managed to steer clear of the Joss & Main, Bloomspot, RueLaLa, and One Kings Lane species, which means my bank account is still looking a-ok.

I couldn’t resist cashing in some of my earned credits on a print by Design Milk’s own Jaime Derringer when her collection went live a few weeks ago, and just last week the piece arrived in the mail in all its glory.

Inspired by one of her flights over the rockies, I can resonate with how impacting a sight that is. The bursts of color and fresh geometric pattern make it a perfect new piece for my own home. And if you missed her sale, I’ll bet you can make your own version of it, but you didn’t hear that idea from me. Get all fancy with your markers, scan, and print it centered on a 8.5×11 sheet of heavy stock. It’s a pretty thing.
