They are crisp, fresh, stark and a bit medical in just the right way. White spaces take me back to the white cube gallery space backdrop for all fine art. They are like blank pages were we get to fill in our own narrative.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trend Bible is a fantastic source to&nbsp;<span>pinpoint future trends and they pride themselves in&nbsp;</span>translating this info into commercial success<span>&nbsp;for their clients in a usable no-nonsense way. And they are based out of the UK to boot and you know the British always have a leg up on us Americans on what is hot or&nbsp;not.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span>The only drawback is, Trend Bible's website is a tease, enticing you to purchase the full volumne, which you will have to do to see my full feature.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p>The second is just around the corner in the same space, created by 1,500 industrial nails hammered into the wall to create the logo shape. This time the nails were wrapped and woven with red thread.</p>

It's a designer dream of virtual very changing inspirations boards.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, thank you <a href="http://pinterest.com">Pinterest</a>, I have discovered a great blog solely devoted to kids play spaces, called <a href="http://playgrounddesigns.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2011-12-06T09:10:00-08:00&amp;max-results=50">Playscapes</a>. The play spaces are creative and think outside the box of the typical plastic formed structures you see riddled in every park in America. They are simply refreshing.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Check out this custom made peg board for color coded corks for kids to discover and create their own pixilated patterns. I love the use of simple card board and colorful tape. Man, Duck tape has come along way.&nbsp;</p>
