Nice and New: Fresh Finds at Ferm Living
One of my favorite wallpaper retailers, Ferm Living, has a few new things in store that I'm really loving. First of all, I think the way this Sewing Kit Wall Sticker ($57.50) is staged is absolutely hilarious. I think it would be clever to use it around a window or doorway in your home, especially one that doesn't have a lot of molding.
Etsy Finds: Decorative Designer Pillows
A chic throw pillow will give an instant face-lift to even the shabbiest of sofas and chairs. At the same time, you can easily swap out your throw pillows to give your seating a whole new look. As it turns out, you can snag plenty of decorative pillows made from luxurious designer fabrics on Etsy.
Get the Look: Folksy Red Cushion Room
After reading my Decorating With Cozy Fall Throws slideshow, one reader wrote in saying, "I am in love with this room and want to know where everything is from, particularly the pillows and the artwork." You know me, I love to help you all "get the look," so here we go! The success of this room is driven by the mix of pink and red textiles, including cushions, a throw, and a floormat.
Etsy Finds: Stylish and Wooly
On delightfully nippy Fall nights, I love to curl up with a warm, woolen throw. There are a lot of great looking blankets, throws, and wool pillows on the Etsy market right now, to help keep you cozy on a chilly Fall evening. See my favorite ways to keep cozy.
Etsy Find: Red/Purple Quarter Whorl Suzani Pillow
The Suzani trend doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon. But the trap with most trends is to buy into a big retailers' interpretation. For instance, Suzani is an intricate, beautiful, and colorful style of needlework that hails from Central Asia, but Natori sells a bedding set that is actually only printed, inspired by patterns often seen in Suzani work.
Found It! My Feather Pillow
Over a year ago, I picked up a pink velvet throw pillow screen-printed in gold with a feather (at right) on sale at a San Francisco boutique for $14. Since then, I've always wondered who made it, and I haven't seen it anywhere else. As it turns out, the pillow sells for over 10 times more than I bought it — score!
Steal of the Day: Nate Berkus Linen Chain Pillow
One look at this sophisticated linen hand-stitched chain pillow, and I bet you'd never guess it's from HSN. Well, it is. And better yet, this Nate Berkus Linen Chain Pillow ($14.95, reduced from $39.95) is unbelievably affordable.
Inspired: Cape Town Lace
This dress, which was featured at Arise Cape Town Fashion Week, is the latest creation of designer Kluk CDGT. I love the lacy details on this elegant gown, whose wispy halter strap modernizes the bell skirt.
In the same way, modern details can modernize lace in your home.
Nice and New: Designers Guild Cushions
London-based luxury fabric and wall-covering company Designers Guild is hands down one of my favorite retailers of home décor of all time. If you're in the market for indulgent, feminine, colorful, and sophisticated textiles, DG is the answer. I'm always particularly won over by the retailer's stunning collection of throw pillows ("cushions"), made from luxurious cut velvets and sumptuous silks, with delicate and unique embroideries.
Guess What These Pillows Are Made From?
These are not your average pillows. They're not made from cotton or silk or anything you'd find in a fabric store. Can you guess what they are made of?
