			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.repeatstudio.com/welcome.htm">Repeat Studio</a> was created by founders, Roisin Fagan and Arounna Khounnoraj, out of their shared interest and love of patterns and hand printed textiles and, we have to agree, it was the right decision for these two to create patterns!  We are head over heels over some of their patterns, including “Poppies”, “Pussy Willow”, and “Fresh Green Grass”.  Besides their brillant patterns, another great part about their fabrics is the fact that they are all printed on eco-friendly fabric with environmentally friendly solvent-free ink.  You can check them out at the Repeat Studio website or at their <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/repeat">Etsy</a> store!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you love nature, bright colors, and graphic patterns?  Are you looking to add some color to your kitchen with some new tea towels or looking to add a splash of pattern to your couch with some graphic pillows?  Well, we have the place for you!</p>
<p>Abigail Percy and Ryan Bell, two amazing designers (and partners in love as well), have come together to create the new home textile line called <a title="abigail*ryan" href="http://www.abigailryan.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">abigail*ryan</a>.  Both have used their own strengths&#8211; Abigail with her nature inspired illustrations and Ryan with his great eye for color&#8211; and put together their first collection comprised of pillows and tea towels for our enjoyment.</p>
<p>Made from local sources, their collection uses organic material&#8211; even the pillows and towels are organic!  We are obsessed with their Helicopter and Sycamore print; starting at $20, you can’t go wrong with any of their pieces for yourself or as a gift!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For something completely new and different for your walls, try these eco-friendly, living wall gardens.  These framed art gardens were made popular by<a title="Flora Grubb Gardens" href=" http://floragrubb.com/florasblog/?cat=3" target="_blank"> Flora Grubb Gardens</a> and are made with succulents, which have a great array of shapes and colors.  They are very easy to care for, and they survive in almost any moisture condition.  Although they require good natural light, care and maintenance of them is kept at a minimum since these plants only need a light misting every few days.  Succulents are perfect for this wall art because certain types don&#8217;t even need any soil.  Instead, they absorb moisture through their leaves.</p>
<p>These vertical gardens are like living mosaic walls.  The spherical growth of their leaves remind us of stars or fully bloomed roses.  Their colors are not limited to shades of green—they grow in almost any shade, from blue and purple to orange and yellow.</p>
<p>Another type of succulent used for this art is Tillandsia, which is beautiful in its own way and resembles exploding fireworks.  Each plant contributes its own unique shape and shade of color.  What better way to bring the outdoors into your home than by showcasing the beauty of these plants as a genius work of living art!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For something truly unique and as well as full of colour, check out these amazing pieces by Doha Chebib for the <a title="Loot Log Collective" href="http://www.loyalloot.com/" target="_blank">Loyal Loot Collective</a>. These log bowls are handmade from reclaimed trees and are painted with a high-gloss finish. The unique nature of trees makes each bowl truly one of a kind. Heights and diameters vary from 2 to 10 inches, and the outer bark varies from a more matured older tree to a younger smooth bark. These bowls are vibrantly juicy and are playfully reminiscent of drops of candy. The natural rough bark against these bold, glossy colours adds a touch of the whimsical. Get one as an accent piece or buy a whole grouping for an eye-catching statement!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fall is that time of the year when wonders happen outside. Why not bring some of that inside. Here are some great pieces that we found to help bring the outdoors in.</p>
<p>We found a couple of “outdoors” inspired pieces at West Elm. First is the <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/f655/?pkey=cside-accent-tables">‘Natural Tree-Stump Side Table’</a>. This rustic piece of nature is great as a side table for the living room or a night stand for the bedroom. It is 100% natural and is cut directly from fallen cypress trees. Because of this, no two tables are the same; you are getting your own unique piece of the forest.</p>
<p>The second piece is the <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/f956/?pkey=ccoffee-tables">‘Raw Wood Coffee Table’</a>. This coffee table sports four wooden cube legs and a glass top. The wooden legs may not be directly from nature like some of the pieces, but the grain in the wooden cubes looks amazing and would definitely work well with some straight out of the wilderness pieces and accessories. <span id="more-2551"></span></p>
<p>The last is a tabletop accessory that we could not resist, the <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/a503/?pkey=cvases-objects"> ‘Wood Slice’</a>. This accessory looks great bare or can showcase any object, whether it be a candle, another piece of nature, or even a coin collection.</p>
<p>We also found two great accessories elsewhere that charm-in on nature and the outdoors. One little fun accessory that we found at Urban Outfitters, the <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&amp;itemCount=60&amp;startValue=1&amp;selectedProductColor=&amp;sortby=&amp;id=16806838&amp;parentid=A_COLL_LATEFALL09APT&amp;sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,&amp;navCount=15&amp;navAction=poppushpush&amp;color=&amp;pushId=A_COLL_LATEFALL09APT&amp;popId=APARTMENT_WHATSNEW&amp;prepushId=">‘Sea Tree Jewelry Stand’</a>, can have many uses. It can be used as a simple decorative piece, it could be used as intended, as a jewelry tree, or use it in your entry to hold odds and ends like keys. The other piece is the <a href="http://www.dwr.com/product/eames-house-bird.do?keyword=bird&amp;sortby=ourPicks">‘Eames House Bird’</a>, which is always a classic.</p>
