This photo of a red door knocker was taken by my colleague Eleni Vretzaki, while on vacations in the island of Tenedos in the Aegean Sea.
I love the contrast of the colors and the intensity of the red - such an unexpected color to use on a door knob!

Summer inspiration - life goes on...The color green
I decided to post photos from my holidays as groups of inspirations - from colors to textures to objects etc. First one, my favorite color, green.

Spotted in Design Sponge:Ted Noten, whose acrylic designs are edgy and desirable.
This bag is called "Murdered Innocence":
Some pieces look lice ice-encased future fossil finds. The "Meat Bag":
There is an online shop too:loved the rings!
The "Ring For A Chess Player":
The "Design Icon Rings":
And my favourite, the "Ice Pick Bag". The choice of names is great too!
