Excuse my crappy iphone shot, but isn’t that floor beautiful? I found these stenciled limestone tiles in the September ’10 issue of House & Garden Magazine, and they were designed by Neisha Crosland for De Ferranti.

Has anyone ever tried stenciling floor tiles before? A DIY project? My interest is piqued…

Next week on Felt & Wire, 50 limited edition notebooks will be for sale with 100% of the proceeds going to Design Ignites Change to support their School: by Design youth mentorship program. Twenty-five letterpress printers created the notebooks, with Mohawk donating Loop paper.

School: by Design is a youth mentoring initiative that asks high school students–in collaboration with their college or professional design mentors–to redesign their school. A $10,000 award will be granted to the high school with the most innovative project to implement their idea. The program was created to give youth in under-served communities a real world experience using design thinking to communicate their ideas, exhibit their potential and take action in their own lives. {via the school: by design website}

The notebooks will be available on Wednesday, so keep an eye out!*

*UPDATE: The notebooks are now available for purchase right here on Felt & Wire.

Have you seen these photos by Huang Qingjun? Similar to a concept started by Peter Menzel in the 90s (in Material World: A Global Family Portrait), Qingjun and Ma Hongjie photographed Chinese families in front of their living spaces with all of their possessions displayed outside. Makes you want to have big yard sale, right? I have too. much. stuff.
