things we like

hello everyone, we hope you have been well and enjoying the easter sunshine like we have!

this week our blog update will be showing you some of the things that we love and that we keep around to give us a little happiness as we work. recently we reorganized the studio space in greenwich that we work in, to accommodate for our new projects for this year. this means we have a lot of things that we use to make the place a little prettier!



these are some of the cute objects that we have collected from junk shops and markets over the years. we really love these kinds of things, they are very uncommon to find so whenever we get our hands on them we really love them.





some of these items have even been used in our photo shoots for our wallpaper- you might recognize the little toy cash till from the website, or maybe the woodblock letters and the big cotton reels from our shows last year!



even using an old mug as a pen holder is nice for us, we really like the thought of reusing older items not just as decoration but as something a little bit bright and useful. and we used this big letter to make a stack of books look a little more decorative!



this is our to-do chalk board which always reminds us of our projects that we have to finish. it can be really easy to miss something so marking them with cute and colourful tape helps us to see things properly. the things that need to get done seem to grow every day...



having fun little quotes, postcards and pictures around the place help us relax a bit and remind us why we need to keep working. of course 'it's all my parents' fault' is a little excuse for when we need it!


and this is our biggest 'like', our studio dog teddy. he is always there to get in the way when we are busy, as dogs do, but we do love him a lot! he and kei are best friends, so they always play together when we have spare time. here he is in his 'herman miller' box bed, he always sleeps in there whenever he gets in from running around like crazy in the park.

as always, feel free to visit and 'like' us on our facebook page, and look at our website for more updates and galleries of our products. as always, if you have any suggestions or even want to tell us the things that you like, do e-mail us at kimika@yukarisweeneydesign.com. until next time, we hope you have a great easter!
