Design Ideas to Steal From the September Anthropologie Catalog
This month, Anthropologie's newest catalog celebrates the beauty that can be found in the worn and the imperfect. From chipped benches to charmingly shabby cottages, these photos usher in the Fall season. See what I love about the current crop of Anthropologie's "nontraditional traditional" interior design photos and what inspirational ideas you can take away from the shots.
IKEA 2010 Catalog Arrives
I look forward to the annual arrival of the IKEA catalog like a little girl does her wedding day. In other words, it's my big day. The IKEA 2010 catalog is finally online for all of you to virtually flip through until your paper copy arrives in the mail.
Do You Browse Home Catalogs?
Just a year ago, I spent a lot of time browsing through home catalogs, and loved to return home to find a new west elm catalog in my mailbox. These days, though, I'm much more likely to do my browsing online. How about you?
How-To: Steal Ideas From Mimou's Catalog
I recently showed you how to steal ideas from Anthropologie's catalog, and today I'm back with more impressive styling from Swedish design shop Mimou. A purveyor of bed and table linens, cushions, poufs, and wallpaper, I ache for Mimou's fantastic materials and gorgeous design. But since I have no plans to head to Scandinavia in the near future, and I'm too much of a cheapskate to pay international shipping fees, I figure I might as well use its catalog for a little inspiration.
Nice and New: Ikea's 2009 Catalog Is Online
It's about that time again. Ikea's new 2009 catalog arrived in my mailbox last week and I spent a good 40 minutes gawking at all of the beautifully styled and photographed rooms, and now it's available for you to flip through online.
The big-box retailer may sell mostly flat-pack, assembly-required MDF furniture that's not the sturdiest I've ever owned, and they may charge an arm and a leg for shipping, but I will give it to Ikea for consistently emerging with eye-catching designs and photography styled to the nines.

Like the Spring catalog, Anthropologie's Summer catalog is full of gorgeous home spreads. This time, you'll no doubt be inspired to use textiles and collages to replicate the retailer's bohemian style. And even if your style is more polished, there's lots of ethereal eye candy in store for you.
Nice and New: Zara Home Fall/Winter Catalog
Wow, did anyone else know that the sleek Spanish clothing chain Zara had a home store? Thanks to Shak in Style for informing me of its existence, and to the fact that the new Zara Home catalog for Fall 2007/Winter 2008 is now online.
There don't appear to be any Zara Home stores in the States, but I'm really interested in this catalog for cold-weather inspiration.

Nice and New: Ikea's 2008 Catalog Is Online
I have a love-hate relationship with Ikea, as I'm sure many of you do, too. But not even my worst Ikea-shopping flashbacks can dampen my enthusiasm for the Swedish retailer's new catalogs. Ikea just posted its 2008 catalog online in an easy flip-through format that lets you peruse all 372 pages.
Midday Muse: Card Catalog Envy
One furniture piece I've always craved but still haven't managed to obtain is an old library card catalog. So I'm green with envy over the technicolor version featured in this house tour on Apartment Therapy: SF. This be a great way to organize all sorts of things, and I love how the owner, Tricia, has inserted different colored labels and placed it next to a dress form.
