Since it basically costs and arm and a leg to eat out in Stockholm, I am getting well acquainted with the kitchen. Thank heavens for Rouxbe, online video cooking school!

This July, I’m moving to Stockholm, Sweden for a year. My boyfriend is doing the Interactive Art Director program at Hyper Island, and I’m going along with him to check out a new design-heavy city and fulfill my dream of living in Europe!

We’ve created arthou.se, a travel blog, where we’ll be writing about cool Swedish things and our general experience there. We’ve also made an online stoop sale to sell what we can’t take with us. Many items have sold, but gems abound! For instance, this Art Deco Wardrobe, it could be yours! Or perhaps you want a sewing machine? Maybe these speakers? A CRIMPER?! The moving sale is over, thank you to all shoppers!

While abroad, I’ll be continuing to design and develop via Dossier, so should you have any design needs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. And be sure to stick around, because I’ll still be blogging about all of my favorite non-Swedish things here.

No party is complete without a StudioBooth. Above are pictures from Swissmiss5, the 5 year anniversary party for swiss-miss.com.

This is one of my favorite pictures of all time.

Each year, for the past 30 years, the Goldberg family has taken a portrait of themselves. The result is Arrow of Time, a wonderfully fascinating portrait of aging and family. A definite must-see!

And, recently, Nicolas has started his own series with his wife and baby!

This blog, We Make Words, makes me happy.

I don’t know too much about Robyn, but I do really like her new album cover for Body Talk.

Amanda Wachob’s painterly tattoo style makes me want a tattoo. And I thought if there was one thing I knew it was that I had no interest in having a tattoo. Check out her portfolio for more lovely work.

Love these Uncle Chairs by Frank West, made out of industrial plastic strapping. I would love even more to try to make my own, seems doable no?
