This past weekend's hot weather had me craving lemonade and frosty beer. The next time I throw a party, I'll throw ice and bottles into this
Cynthia Rowley for Target Steel Beverage Tub ($12.99). Who can resist the funky fresh mix of Macintosh apple red and '80s throwback hot pink.

Recently
reading AT:SF, I was delighted to learn that
Target carries Graham & Brown wallpaper. I've always been a big fan of the UK wallpaper retailer, and consistently applaud Target for bringing good design to a mass market, so it's nice to hear that they've made their foray into the world of hip wall coverings. Turns out Target has been carrying Graham & Brown for over a year now, so I guess I'm a bit behind the times.

Apparently talent runs in the family, as
Salma Hayek's brother Sami just launched an exclusive “Sami Hayek for Target” collection, full of cool, colorful, and well-designed products. The collection features home furnishings and accessories that blend contemporary chic with native Mexican culture. The multifunctional pieces are ideal for small spaces and are designed with minimal packaging that’s made to be reused or recycled.
Word is that Metropolitan Home's latest issue features this pink hose ($10) "designed" by Cynthia Rowley. While the color pink may not make your
plants grow any faster, it'll certainly make your yard look good while you do the dirty work. I couldn't find the hose online anywhere, but something tells me it soon will be, or perhaps it's available in store already.

This past week
I interviewed Christiane Lemieux about her company, DwellStudio, her new line for Target, and her inspirations. DwellStudio is well known for its vibrant, well-designed textiles and modern baby and children's products. During the interview, Christiane offered to answer five reader questions about textile and design.
