Happy Groundhog Day! Since spring is just around the corner, we took a spin around the web today, looking for signs of life to lead us into the warmer months. From the looks of it, the rest of 2012 is coming up roses. For starters, Anthology presented a gorgeous series of photographs this week featuring LA-based designer Justina Blakely’s work with interior greenery, shown above. Makes us long for 80-degree temperatures and cocktails al fresco!
For those of us too impatient to wait for spring’s official arrival, there’s ArchiTonic’s article about herbal architecture, featuring stunning photography of ways clever designers have brought the outdoors inside, like Artaqua’s self-watering, room-purifying Grüne Wand® (Green Wall):
Furniture Fashion shared a roundup of decorative rugs this week, including a cheeky “Turn the Season” rug from YLdesign — absolutely perfect, given today’s prophetic news from Punxsutawney Phil:
Speaking of keeping things green, Dwell took to Washington State this week and released Part 9 of its ongoing series, Building a Zero-Energy Community, focusing on the first-ever multi-family community of its kind in the U.S. (with many more to follow, we hope)…
The boys over at Uncrate are clearly ready for barbecue season, given their raves this week over the Bob Grillson wood pellet grill, which uses electricity to burn its wooden pellets instead of requiring a traditional fire…
…and rounding out the spring fever theme is a post on spring cleaning from Design Public, taking us into the dirty underbelly of a DP blogger’s closet for a much-needed organizational purge. Come to think of it, those of us behind the scenes here at Interior Complex should probably follow suit, but then again, we’ve still got a smidge of winter left to procrastinate our way through.
