Unique home decor and some good gift ideas!

Thought I'd share with you Inglenook decor, which I recently discovered. The shop looks like it has lots of pretty stuff for all decor styles - modern vintage, shabby chic, and lots of great Christmas gifts.

Here are some things I thought were particularly cute:


love these canvas buckets!





The store also features some really cool vintage/flea market finds.

Amazing design from Scandanavia

I wanted to share these gorgeously designed products from Muuto. Simplicity is really amazing in these products, as it's also beautiful, functional, and environmentally friendly!

These new baskets - called "Restore," are my favorite product. They are so pretty.
- "MIKA TOLVANEN ON THE DESIGN 'I wanted the basket to have an non-obtrusive nature. It’s a great little basket for storing magazines or any other bits and pieces. Polymer felt combined with a soft form give the basket a friendly appearance. The name Restore is inspired by the fact that the baskets are made of recycled PET bottles.' "



I'm a big fan of pen and ink drawings, and this bedspread is like a giant piece of art.




Most of their products come in many colors. You can see and read more at the site, Muuto.

Chic goodies for sprucing up the place...

Flipping through my latest issue of House Beautiful, I was stopped in my tracks when I spotted a page dedicated to favorite housewares under $25. I especially noticed this 18" Quatro Table Lamp - lamps are so expensive! But this lamp, which you can find at mxyplyzyk, is only $25! Check out more of their cool stuff...
The $25 lamp!


I adore this retro side table...

And this magazine rack/table is genius





...an awesome way to put those grocery bags to use, a clothespin frame turns them into a garbage can.



I really need one of these - a dual timer - because I have trouble monitoring more than one pot at a time.


317 U for me!

This reminds me of a project I did in a glass-blowing class in college, where I made tons of glass pepsi cans from a plaster cast.

Lovely handmade items

I'm sure many of you have heard of Etsy, and I know many people who sell on Etsy. What I love about it is the personal nature of everything - it's not mass-produced, it's thoughtful, and it's usually pretty affordable! Have you bought anything from Etsy? Were you pleased??


These wall graphics are lovely! I love the hand drawn quality

Danish home decor - what do you think?

Nostalgi Fyn is a Danish home decor company, and while they feature a lot of white (surprise, surprise) - they also feature goods in rich, dark colors - even black! What do you think? Do you like em?

The red accents really makes this bedroom crisp

They also sell scarves and jewelry




These office accessories are really cute - I'm afraid I'd never be able to discipline myself to choose just one pattern...

I love quilts and have been begging my mom to take up quilt making for years! I would love to have one made out of fabrics from our clothes, curtains, sheets, and linens.

black and white is really growing on me lately






I also love this quilt...obviously I need to invest in some more beds to put all these linens on...














The pottery is really nice...
