Shower Curtain Favorites

Shower curtains are a great way to make a quick update to any bathroom, but it can often be difficult to find the perfect one!  There are so many out there that look the same and are just plain boring.  Luckily, we have searched far and wide for some of our favorites to share with you.  Check them out today!

Waterfall Ruffle – This romantic shower curtain from Urban Outfitters is filled with texture and excitement.  Priced at $68 and available in both sky and ivory, it is fun, flirty, and affordable!

Banded Sateen Shower Curtain – This shower curtain is crisp, clean, and sophisticated.  We’ve always been a fan of the shower curtains at Restoration Hardware, but we especially love this collection.  Available in nine different color ways and priced at $79, you can’t go wrong!

Sprout Home – We love all of the shower curtains they have for sale.  From the large graphic scaled Crest Shower Curtain to the eye catching Kaleidoscope Shower Curtain, they are all great! Plus, at $35, you can even get two and change your bathroom every other week!

Ty Shower Curtain – Feeling creative?  Why not make your own shower curtain with these amazing recyclable shower curtains from Grain Design.  Priced at $33, this is a great way to personalize your bathroom, or do it with your roommate as a group project.  Either way, you’ll take pride in your creation!

Rubie Green Fabric

Rubie Green Fabric

We have a love for everything Michelle Adams does—from her smashing online magazine, Lonny, to her blog, M.A. Belle, to her first products at Rubie Green! While searching through her Rubie Green site this weekend, we noticed that her amazing fabric she used to create beautiful organic bedding is now available by the yard as upholstery fabric!

This fabric uses only 100% certified organic cotton and is printed in the US with only water-based, non-toxic inks. It’s available in a wide range of patterns that we love, such as her classic East Village and Habibi patterns and her new Marilyn, Patsy, and Portobello patterns just to name a few. We can’t wait to use some of this fabric to make over an outdated chair or create a few eye-catching pillows or even a headboard!

Her fabrics are all so fabulous, and everything she touches is a success, we know that her newest products will be a big hit as well!

Snow Day

Snow Day

It’s a snow day here in NYC, so in celebration we wanted to share with you a few of our winter inspired pieces.

Birch Bark Cups – We love these handmade Porcelain Birch Bark Cups by Bobed Farm. They are great delicate cups, measuring about 8.5″ tall and 2″ wide, and are food safe.  Use them on a winter themed table scape or even to place a single lily.

Wolli Snow Mountain Toy Box – I know that when I was a kid, I would have jumped with joy if I had my own Snow Mountain Toy Box!  This great hand made piece by Babies Breath brings the outdoors inside.  Priced at $175, this is perfect for any winter baby.

West Elm Poufs – Just looking at these poufs made me wish for snow.  They’re great to sit on with a cup of cocoa and watch the flakes gently fall.  Priced from $199 to $349, grab one for a single seat or a collection of these great poufs for a winter inspired bohemian seating area.

Star Burst Low Ball Glasses – Haus Interior is a little winter haven, and these great snow inspired etched low ball glasses make us want to cozy up at home and pour ourselves a nice cocktail at the end of a snowy day.  Priced at $165 for a set of two, these glasses are a must!

Back to School for your Table Top

Whether you are a teacher, have kids still in school, or just long for the nostalgia of your childhood math classes, you will love this amazing collection of Memo Dinnerware from Fishs Eddy!  This graphic collection is made up of mugs, trays, and glasses decorated to resemble a notebook, graph paper, and even a composition book.  Priced from $2 to $24, you will find something to fit in every budget.

While checking out this old school collection, why not see what else Fishs Eddy has too offer.  This site is an amazing resource for table top and dishware.  Whether it is basic white plates, vintage finds, or their own collections, we could spend hours sorting through their inventory and know you will too!
