Organic Style

West Elm has some great organic style room decor.

I love these mango-wood song birds, aren't they the cutest?

This teak wood root is beautiful AND it's a one-of-a-kind piece. Roots, stumps and wood elements are big right now, they are everywhere in home decor.

These wood cylinder vases have a great natural look.

Wall Envy

West Elm has some really great picture frames on sale. What's even better than the sale is they show some really cool ways to display them.

You can get really creative with what you put in them. Kids art projects take on a new look when framed and mounted on the wall. Print out your regular color photos in black and white or sepia, mount them and you have custom art.

It's up to you and your imagination. Have fun!

West Elm frames starting at only $9.00 a piece!

Weekend Lounge Around

Price Reductions!?

Good news if you are a fan of the Williams-Sonoma companies, which include Pottery Barn and West Elm.

According to this article, Williams-Sonoma "is stooping to a new bracket of opening price point levels and expanding its assortments of these more promotional items in 2009."

La Creuset Braiser
$70. below the "suggested price" of $270. a great savings if you are looking for a $200. braiser.

Look for the "good design and great price" marketing tag to hold true as West Elm introduces a new, lower opening price point.

Pillow Cover

$16. pillow cover, can't beat that.

Seems textiles are a good draw for Pottery Barn, so keep your eyes open for deals on towels and such there.

Polka Dot Towels

Yay, for the consumer.

Lovin' me some West Elm

LLLLLLLoooooove it!

Look no white/blue/brown combos!

This is one of my favorite stores. They WERE getting a little lazy in the creative department, but look what was in the inbox this morning.

I am giddy.


I love this room! Although everything in it isn't new to West Elm, there are some really cool new items.

Poufs. Oooo, look a red one. Yum!


Medina stand and hammered metal tray Yummy!

Zigzag Rug Yum!

(Website says it's new, but I am pretty sure I have seen this around awhile) regardless,

I lllllooooove it!

Shiny, Happy Decor!

This is fun!

You could hang holiday photos from it or tiny decorations (the keepsake kind that get lost in the regular tree). I like the little sparkles they have hanging from it, I noticed them while shopping at Michael's yesterday.

It also would make a very contemporary advent tree, fold up decorated cards, number them, and note your message inside.

The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

Get it at CB2.

More sparkle for your holiday.

Sure these would look good decorating your home but they would also make great gift bags. Stuff them with someones favorites; bath and body products, journals and writing supplies, art supplies, well you get it.

Available at one of my favorite places West Elm

Gotta Light?

I need a new lamp for my work table. My yucky little desk lamp isn't cutting it anymore.

Desk lamp style....

or table lamp style?

What do you think?

Modern Farm House

I really like the new line from West Elm--Modern Farm.




















I love the tree stump side table/stool.

New rugs from West Elm ! Really nice graphic patterns.

Numbers rug; I love the color.

Loop rug; nice color combo.

Stacked Circles; very warm and bold.


Seagrass border rugs are on sale, if you are so inclined.

Get a new rug, purge the old stuff hanging around, throw in a couple of new accessories and you'll have a new look, just in time for back to school.

Kids at school = tidy home.

Perfect!

These canvas magazine butlers from West Elm are exactly what I need. Not only are they the perfect non-colors, but they are the greatest prints.

They are much more stylish than my current, basket on the floor system.
