Just In: Areaware Alarm Dock

areaware alarm dock jonas damon stylecarrot


You may not have saved your faux wood flip clock from childhood (I didn’t), but no matter. Areaware’s Alarm Dock by Jonas Damon ($40) is a simple block of solid beechwood let’s you adapt an iPhone or Touch to get a similar effect, while simultaneously charging the device.

Look carefully, it’s not actually a clock—it’s a dock with a horizontally placed iPhone running the flip clock app ($.99) The dock fits the iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4.

If you still prefer the real thing, try this retro bamboo flip clock ($51.90).

ARTmonday: Quercus Designs

Yesterday I finally caught up with miles of blog posts on Remodelista. I found a few items I must have, including the work of Jennifer Steen Booher, who photographs natural object assemblages under the name Quercus Designs. I purchased two 12x12s (the first two shown here) from her Etsy shop, and plan to hang them in our house on  the Cape. The silhouettes have a crisp sparseness, that I think, along with the colors, that work really well. So simple, but very satisfying. She writes about her work — where she found the tokens and such — on her blog. Bar Harbor Yacht Club, May 29, 2011

ARTmonday: Peace Beads

Yes, I’m a day behind with this art post, but really, I haven’t blogged in so long; so sorry. (I’ve been posting consistently on Style Carrot • Boston, for those of you who are local.) Last week we attended the art show at a neighborhood elementary school. I was very taken with these “peace beads” which were created by the kindergarten class. Simply lovely.

Introducing Style Carrot • Boston

Can you identify these Boston stores?

Although Style Carrot was conceived as an inspirational, creative outlet for interior design, I often post about my Boston food and fashion finds. Many of you are Boston-based, so the response has been good, but I worry about diluting the original intent. Problem solved with Style Carrot • Boston.

Style Carrot • Boston is where I will now post my finds and musings on Boston style, or anything else that strikes my fancy in town. So, check that out if you have interest. And here, well, expect more good decor.
