Wooden Watches from Jord

Lately I haven’t worn a lot of jewelry so anytime I do, I want it to be unique, so when I saw these wood watches from Jord, it was something I needed to try.

So, Jord sent over my 1st choice, the Cora wood with a rose gold face, which is different than what I’d usually wear. Koa is a rich, toned wood from Hawaii and it’s particularly good with my skin tone. I thought at first that the band might feel bulky but it’s surprisingly light and actually feels really good on my skin.


The rose gold face, which isn’t a color tone I’d normally choose, fits really well with the Cora. The Swarovski crystal give it a little extra luxurious edge.

The fun part of trying out something that I normally wouldn’t wear is figuring out what outfits I can wear it with. I found that this watch works really well when you just want something off-the-wall and unexpected. While everyone is sporting either basic silver or gold, or one of the new smartwatches, I can show off my own style with this fashionable watch.


How genius is this packaging? ...comes in an all wooden box too!

DESIGN: WOOD IN INTERIOR DESIGN

Hello everyone,  its Lisa with another dose of design! As quickly as trends come and go in the design world, it is important to recognize those design elements that are constantly being reinvented and used in unique, innovative ways. A favorite of mine (that I love solely because it really reminds me of fall) is wood. Wood is no longer restricted to a medium for furniture and flooring, it is really something that can be a part of every single design surface. It can be used for funky counter tops, shelving, herringbone wall panels, lighting, you name it!

Take this space via apartment therapy for example-the live edge wood countertop is applied to the stark white, contemporary countertop/cabinets and it completely steals the show. So fresh and organic feeling and it brings a new life to a wood species and tone that may have seemed dated or one-note.

Or this super clean space via the contemporist, where the stark black and white space is contrasted with a warm, rustic wood paneling really captures wood in an amazing way.
 
And how about wooden staircases taken to a whole new level? This particular one was designed by Arcquitectura en Movimiento via the Stylish Eve and really showcases how amazing wood can really look!
 
 
Wood can be a part of your home in so many fun ways, here are some of my favorite wood pieces right now!
