Etsy find of the day: Artist Lauren King breathes life into vintage photographs by extending them with graphite on paper beyond the border. The sweet details of the desert landscape are carried on just far enough to portray a simple, yet dynamic, scene.

Hello there.
I am a pretty sarcastic, no-nonsense type of girl. But nothing puts a twinkle in my eye like good, honest, smart design. General Merriment is my happy place – where I share modern and sustainable design news.
Other things that make my happy, in no particular order:
- Cardigans. I tend to freak out when I’m too hot or cold. We’re all in better company when I dress in layers.
- Coffee. Particularly La Columbe - it’s local and delicious. And I feel smarter with a hot drink in my hand.
- Vases and vessels. I own more than I know what to do with, yet still accumulate more.
- Prep bowls. Everything is better mise en place.
- Rock concerts. Because nothing compares to the energy of a crowd belting out the lyrics together.
I currently live in New Jersey (thisclose to Philadelphia) with my husband, Tom, our daughter, Lucy, and our cats, David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.
