Our New Obsession – ferm LIVING

Wallpaper, wall stickers, graphic pillows, oh my!  Our love for everything ferm LIVING runs deep, and each time we visit their site we find a little more that we love about this company.

Not only is their wallpaper eye-catchingly beautiful with patterns like Branch, Squares, and Voila, but they also have amazing wall stickers that we can’t find anywhere else.  We love their Keys, Suitcases, and Birch.  The best part is you can temporarily apply them to your wall, and they make a great fit for any apartment or nonpermanent living space. Also, if you want something a little more portable, all of their graphic pillows and accessories are to die for!

Think it can’t get any better?  If you ever wanted to wallpaper a space by yourself, then you must check out their amazing “How to Wallpaper Video” that breaks down the process so anyone can do it themselves!

Back to School for your Table Top

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!

Bemz – IKEA Slipcover Heaven

Bemz – IKEA Slipcover Heaven

We love IKEA sofas—from the Ektop to the Klippan and their arm chair counter parts too!  However, with most IKEA furniture, each piece arrives dressed in a basic stock colored slipcover, with only a few additional options to choose from.  This is fine for the people who don’t like having choices or want their living room to look just like their neighbors, but the majority of us enjoy having options and want to make our space our own. Also, the idea of having a custom slipcover made that will end up costing as much as the couch itself seems pretty impractical.

Luckily, we have stumbled upon Bemz, a company based in Sweden, which sells slipcovers for all our favorite IKEA sofas and chairs!  With tons of different fabric options to choose from, you will find something that will fit perfectly in your design scheme. Even if you just want to explore their library of inspiration images they have on file, we suggest you check them out today!

Updating your living room has never been easier!

Bright colors are exciting and eye catching.  Whether it is in our wardrobes or our homes, we love to throw in a hint of color wherever we can.  In hopes for a bright and sunny weekend on this lovely Friday, here are some of our favorite vendors with color!  They have bright ideas for every home.

Gardenhouse – Bring the outdoors inside with any of the products from Gardenhouse, a Palm Beach based furniture store with a passion for color and re-appropriating old finds to make them bright and fabulous!  We love their Vintage Yellow Aluminum Loveseat!

CB2 – We love their Echo Chair in yellow or green.  Priced at $79.95 each, they are great for a spring update of a dining room or office.

Smeg Appliances – Bright and functional, these great 50’s inspired refrigerators, laundry machines, and dishwashers are just plain fabulous!

Berlin – Throw these pillows on a couch or a bed to brighten up any room.
