beauty on a grey monday

there is a brilliant article in ElleDecoration UK this month {april 07 issue} called out of the ordinary. the idea is to show how beautiful utiliarian things can be. the photos are inspired by giorgio morandi, one of my favorite artists.

photos by andrea garuti.

there is another article on ann shore and her shop called story. the article is very interesting and the photos amazing. the photos are the complete opposite of the ones in the first article, but i am equally drawn to them. they are bright and filled with objects, so rich and full of discovery.
