In the past few years, organic bedding, which had previously been eco-friendly but not very design-savvy, has really come into its own, with beautiful patterns and vibrant colors spicing up a selection of organic cotton. I'm happy to see this textile gain mass appeal, and given its reasonable price point, there's really no excuse not to transition to organic bedding.

I recently came across a DIY for making an organic fly trap, and since this season goes hand-in-hand with the little pests, I decided to summarize it for you.

While I find modern design a little cold at times, I'm definitely a fan when it's warmed up with natural elements. Take, for instance, this room, which might look too spare if it weren't for the sheepskin rug (tossed over the back of a chair), the beautiful plants, and the natural rug on the floor. Of course, the stunning view outside doesn't hurt, either.
