Astek Custom Wallcoverings 14 January, 2010

I first met extremely nice ladies from Astek at CABoom Show last year. I was attracted by  large variety of the product and endless possibilities for custom projects. (the ability to print on a wide range of materials for walls, ceilings, and floors which range from basic papers, vinyls, mylars, and canvas, to plywood, glass, fabric, cork, grasscloth, plex, window film, and many others.) The best part is that you can upload you design on their website and get an instant quote.

And now when I’m in search for that perfect wallcovering for the accent wall in the dining, a visit to their showroom is on my To-Do List.  In the meanwhile here are a few of my favorites from their website.

New Ravenna Mosaics 12 December, 2009

In a course of my Saturday morning blogs reading (finally, after a week of deadlines and dues!) I stumbled upon Sara Baldwin Design Blog form New Ravenna Mosaics. And I saw this…and this…. and, of course, this…So have I left you longing for more?! I’m telling you, people, these are only tile borders. Can you imagine what they have for actual tiles and mosaics?! Here’s some sneak pics but for the rest of it you have to click here since I cannot have a 3-page post.

I’m absolutely in love with her new waterjet collection and precious jewel glass collection. My imagination sinks into creating new projects utilizing these amazing resources.
