Looking for an instant update to your bedroom? Try Mina Javid for Blik’s headboards. The March issue of Redbook magazine featured a clever headboard hoax with Mina’s Nessa and Wrought Iron Headboards. Minimalist design never looked so good!

Modern designophiles! If you haven’t gotten yours already, pick up the March 2010 issue of Dwell. Gracing the master bedroom of the “My House” featured home, is a Mina Javid for Blik custom headboard. We think it looks pretty terrific in the Venice, CA home of Eric Grunbaum, an Oregon-raised creative director for an LA ad agency. Besides being our neighbor, transplanted from the Pacific Northwest (like Blik’s Jerinne Neils), Eric selected esteemed architect Barbara Bestor to design his home. Well, it just so happens that Blik co-founder Scott Flora knows Barbara from his UCLA Architecture days. Bestor commissioned the “big red wall project”, a Blik custom installation outside of her office in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. It’s a small, small world.

Blik’s very own Me, Myshelf & I design made it’s way into the Fall 2009 issue of Angeleno Interiors. Although we don’t recommend skipping a good book, we do agree that this bookshelf decal makes any room look savvy. Besides, who better to embrace this trend, but a true Angeleno? We Love LA!

The clever folks at The Oregonian featured Blik Leaves Transfers on these sweet cereal bowls. We too think it’s a great idea and are big fans. Corn Flakes never looked so hip. Read the full feature here.

Change IS good! This month Parents magazine featured our Caterpillar graphic by creatively using it as a clock in this spread highlighting transition-friendly decor as your little one grows. We couldn’t agree more…change never looked so good!

The June issue of Country Living Magazine is all about fresh ideas and they’ve got a few suggestions that are for the birds. No, we mean that in a good way. For house and garden, they’re featuring blik Threadless design 7.00 to help you bring a bit of the great outdoors into your home. We love how they paired it with mounted bird houses - definitely a fresh idea.

We have lots of reasons to give thanks this month. Two of them center around our very close friend Oprah. Ok, ok, she’s not exactly our friend, but we did recently appear on her show and now, we’re featured in the Winter 2008 issue of O At HOME magazine, hot off the presses.

Earlier this month, Divine Design’s, Candice Olson, starred in an episode of The Oprah Show along with clutter-wrangler Peter Walsh. Their mission: revamp NYC apartments overtaken by chaos. In one ambush, long-time blik fan (lucky us), Candice, turned Birds of a Feather into a headboard and installed a blik Chandelier to add sparkle to a kitchen.

As if that weren’t enough, the current O At HOME magazine, “The Color Issue,” features Grandfather Clock designed for us by BY: AMT of Studio Jan Habraken. So, like we said, we have lots to be thankful for and in turn, we hope these will lend some inspiration.

We are fortunate enough to have a fan in Candice Olson, interior designer extraordinaire and host of HGTV’s Divine Design. She recently used our blik Paisley in “Audrey’s Office” to help transform a shabby attic into a gorgeous home office. We’ve been flooded with calls ever since from folks eager to know what colors she used, so here you go: gold, silver and light gray. Obviously, these are not standard colors offered for Paisley, but in case you didn’t know, you can custom color most of our wall decals. We have 33 colors from which to pick and choose so you can create your perfect package.

One of our friends, director Bob Gosse (NIAGRA, NIAGRA), is in the middle of shooting the new film I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL based on the New York Times bestselling book by Tucker Max. The movie is an edgy comedy about Tucker who decides to take an impromptu trip to celebrate his friend’s bachelor party where, of course, he drags his friend into a lie and gets him into deep trouble with his fiancée. Instead of sticking around to mend fences, however, Tucker abandons his friend to pursue hilarious carnal interests instead. Tucker is disinvited to the wedding, and in order to get back in, he has to find a way to balance his narcissism with the demands of friendship.

One of the main characters in the film is an avid video gamer, so Bob thought she’d have her place decked out in blik designs. Here are a couple of preliminary shots from set - check out HAPPY CREATURES in the background. More to come.
