A linen laundry bag is one of those utilitarian design elements that make the everyday more beautiful, and I have a soft spot pretty things that are also practical. This cute West Elm laundry bag is certainly affordable, but Crate & Barrel does even better in price and a bit bigger in size. Same palette, same drawstring cord, same vintage vibe stripes. Plus they both ship free. :)
It’s time for me to get a big girl bed, and I wanted to ask your advice. What do we think of pallet beds?
I love how simple they are, the texture they bring into a room, and the general dreaminess of a low bed. But would it be totally uncomfortable? Would it be more uncomfortable than an inexpensive platform bed? I know for health reasons you should not use actual used shipping pallets, but are there any other concerns?
Cheap furniture gets a lot of flak for being, well, cheap. We like to think of our furnishings as forever investment pieces of comfort. Let’s be honest. When you buy a hard, molded mid-century chair, you’re not buying it for comfort. It’s usually a visual statement, cushioned, if used for bums. So if the shape and colors are right, it’s a nice place to save a few–or many–bucks. Here are some cheap modern chairs that mimic the more expensive.
My mom always asks for Gloria Jean’s coffee beans and tickets to her favorite little movie theater for every holiday. Boring, but fool-proof. But here are some other mother’s day gift ideas that might make her day…
My mom lives in flats, the comfier the better. These are neutral and extra cute. ($78) // This gorgeous copper-spotted vase would be lovely gifted with tiny flowers. ($40) // These peachy gemstone studs are great for everyday. ($56) // A spring scarf in a fresh pallet is super pretty. ($70) // These little bowls could hold jewelry and other trinkets. ($28)
Not trying to pick on Anthropologie, but they just have so many things that I want (and can’t afford)! I could maybe spring for one of their pretty patterned porcelain bowls, but I if wanted a whole set, I’d pick from West Elm’s adorable Japanese collection.
