Don’t ask me why, but I always seem to find the coolest stuff while sitting in the waiting room at the doctor’s office. Today’s visit was no different – while flipping through a back issue of Dwell (YUM) I happened upon an ad for Seascape lamps. A quick visit to their site and I was...

Inventive Wall Art on the Cheap
I’ve been on the lookout for some cool wall art, but as it turns out, I’m extremely picky. I don’t want anything run-of-the-mill, but I also don’t want to break the bank. My husband and I have essentially resorted to blowing up cool photos from our travels, which works great but I do crave a...
Sassy Brass
Stumbled upon this in the new issue of Budget Travel. Loveliness in the form of a brass bangle from artist Olga Prieto. Love it. Want it now.
Mixed Tape
I spend a lot of time carefully packaging invitations and stationery for my wonderful clients. Lately, I have been wishing for something to give said packaging a little pizazz. I think the answer is wonderful, magical patterned masking tape. I may need all of these. Just for test purposes, of course.

I promise this blog will not become one giant baby fest. Promise. But the designer in me can’t help but want to share this delightful find with everyone. Sorry.

Chicago-based artist Alexander Doll collaborates with you to create a custom piece of artwork to commemorate your special day. Loads of different designs and options to customize color and text. Love...
Hi, I’m back.
Hey all, my apologies for the blog “sabbatical”. It turns out Kelly Ashworth Design is expanding! And no, I’m not hiring interns and I’m not opening a new office in an exotic location. (Although, one day that would be fab!) I’m actually expecting Kelly Ashworth Design, Jr. He or she is due in October.
I have...
Black+White+Yellow
I’ve been looking for some fun ideas for bedroom decor. And as is usually the case, I can’t find anything in my desired color palate, but I can kind a litany of other ideas. My evidence is shown below. I’m looking for taupe, brown, cranberry and amethyst shades. Instead, I have found some great ideas...
Reading is Fundamental
Are you on Good Reads? It’s great — like social networking for bookworms. I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately, so every time I finish a book, I can post reviews and see what my friends are reading. Here’s a quick look into what I’ve been filling my brain with as of late:
