I LOVE talking up Houston's local businesses and the locals that I am going to talk about now are the peeps over at Plus Design. Plus Design is headed by designer and founder, Marty Joyce. Marty has over a decade of experience in creating custom furniture pieces and architectural fixtures for homes and businesses. You can see some of Plus Design's handiwork at local Houston businesses such as Settlement Goods and Paulie's. Here, here! Take a look. Well done, Marty! : )

I must have a thing for bookshelves this week! : ) I saw The Equilibrium Bookcase, by Malagana Design, on Contemporist. How cool is this thing? It looks like the different compartments are just floating above each other; definitely an eye catching addition to any room.

I saw the AAKKOSET shelf, by KAYIWA, today while checking out freshome. The idea is for it to be used as an anything and everything shelf, a room divider or both. I think it's a neat statement piece. Hope you like it. : )
