New on Pinterest: Anchors Aweigh

Anchors have an everyday poetry. In addition to their practical use, they also represent themes of stability, voyages, and summertime. They are perennial favorites as design motifs, and have been for hundreds of years. There are a lot of anchors in Seattle right now, as the city kicks off the annual Seafair festival. For Seafair activities, check out the Seafair website. For our favorite anchors, from diamonds to door-knockers, check out our new Pinterest board "Anchors Aweigh"...

New on Pinterest: Art Deco

From the high rise skyscrapers to the new automobiles of the 1920s and 1930s, a modern, streamlined sensibility ruled design. Today we call that style Art Deco. Purveyors of the style ranged from Frank Loyd Wright to Coco Chanel, and we can safely say that the world of design and art has never been the same since. We've been pulling together some of our favorite images on our "Art Deco" Pinterest board. Check them out:
