The Cultivated Home

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!

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!

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.

We have fallen in love with a great, new concept shop tucked away amongst the brownstones near the Met and Guggenheim.  This unique modern furniture and vintage clothing store first perked our interest with their quirky name, but Fair Folks & a Goat won us over with their great concept and unique way of business.

Located in a studio apartment on East 88th Street that is owned and was once occupied by owner Anthony Mazzei, it has been transformed into a store that resembles a lived in apartment.  The main space is filled with a great selection of contemporary furniture but, unlike other furniture stores, they encourage their visitors to sit and enjoy the space and furniture.  Mazzei and his partner, Aurora Stokowki, have added a vintage clothing aspect to the store, which is supplied by Texas-based Archive Vintage.  Rather than being displayed on racks, all of the clothes are stored in the actual closets of this apartment, allowing you to almost feel like a child again searching through your mother’s amazing closet.

Access to Fair Folks & a Goat is though appointment only (thegoat@fairfolksandagoat.com), but that does not mean you are going to break the bank purchasing pieces there.  Furniture ranges from $120-$10,000, and clothing starts at as low as $30.

With plans to open a second location in a bed and breakfast in New Orleans, we have a feeling this intimate shopping experience will be a hit!  Check them out in this great Racked article, or e-mail them for your own appointment.  We know you will be as obsessed as we are!

When you think of pet furniture, what pops into your head?  Probably either an oversized dog bed or a 4-foot tall carpet-covered cat tree—not the most appealing pieces to add to a modern home.  Wait no longer, we have found some great modern solutions to pet furniture!

ZenHaus Designer Crate: This comfy critter cave adds extra surface space.  It’s a great place for your pet to escape, and they’ll look good doing it.

BowHaus Designer Crate: Is it a pet crate or a side table?  Well, we approve it for both!  This little baby looks like it could have come out of a West Elm catalog for pets.

WoWo Pod: Dress up this pod with a white faux fur shag-like pad, and send your pet back in time—in a good way.  They compare this to “an Eames chair for your best friend,” and we agree!

Ellipse Pet Bed: With a simple ellipse design containing many different finishes and two sizes to choose from, this is one of the most modern, elegant pet beds we have seen!

Couchette Modern Cat Sleeper: It’s eco-friendly, has a timeless design, and it’s super comfortable for your furry friend, what could be better?

RONDO Stand: The RONDO is pure modern design.  This pod-like perch comes in many different colors and finishes, 60 variations to be exact.  It might just make you want to redesign your home!

Tall Modern Cat Condo: Any cat would love to lay or play on this elegant, steel framed modern cat tree made with foam scratching pads.
