Top Blogger Ashes & Milk Shares Her Favorite 8 Design Resources
Nikko Moy, who curates the online gallery and blog ashesandmilk.com, believes that the things we bring into our homes should have a soul and a sense of history. Her site is filled with handmade works of art, and her blog documents the process of creating original art. We're particularly obsessed with the hand-drawn Pierres Graphiques (pictured ) and the Nicolas Cheng porcelain cups cast from salvaged wood (and the exquisite matching storage box).
When she isn't working on her own site, Moy is busy trawling others:
Housewares & More:
mjolk.ca/mjolk-shop "Organic, minimal design objects from Scandinavia and Japan."
canoeonline.net "Beautiful, functional objects that can be used and enjoyed every day."

Her fashion creations reflect her job--simple, clean lines with a natural-yet-sophisticated palette that really pops."--Anna Blessing
