I have to admit I'm a sucker for a bit of text, and here are some cute ideas I've found of how to incorporate text with interiors. Isn't the embroidered door just amazing?!? The artist Sarah Greves doesn't stop with furniture either, and even embroiders bananas and chocolate - it's pretty impressive! The second picture is taken from Panta Rhei School in Amstelveen, which incidentally is super close to my old home in Amsterdam. The interior was done by the Dutch practice i29, who modelled the words into "carpets of text" giving them a graphic quality when viewed from a distance. You can check out other pictures from the school here.

 Check out this lovely design collection from Dutch designer Tord Boontje - it has a bit of a Native American / tribal look about it, so very on trend! The collection - which has been made for Italian manufacturer Moroso - is made from plywood and is punctuated with cross stitch detailing. Who knew embroidery and furniture would go so well together?
