I love this way to accessorize that boring old office chair into an Eames Lounge or Saarinen Tulip Chair (by designer Chenhui Su!) Via Apartment Therapy

Lately, I've been kinda obsessed with Trompe l'oeil! In a nutshell, it's is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects appear in three dimensions, instead of actually being a two-dimensional painting (thanks Wikipedia). I've always loved this style but my interest was recently renewed when I discovered a pair of Converse Trompe l'oeil Slipons!  I must get them for the summer!! Anyway, I thought it would be fun to round up some more Trompe l'oeil finds that I love. I hope you enjoy them as well!!

I wish I had the skill to do something this cool.  I would totally have to pencil it on lightly beforehand! Via Sharpie's blog.
