…makes neat home goods. Want to see some of my favorites?




I’m seriously considering the last slipper sofa. The only furniture you can sit on in our living room at the moment is this little love seat, so I’ve been on the hunt for something chic, comfortable, and relatively inexpensive for awhile. At $500, I think this lovely fits the bill, but am worried a bit about the wheels — the reviews on HSN are throwing me off. Do any of you have experience with this sofa? I’d love to hear what you think if you do!
P.S. I am comforted by the fact that Jordan has this piece and seems to like it. See her’s here!

Okay, okay, just one more. This image from Martha’s Bedford kitchen gave me a sudden urge to find a heavy garden urn, find a fern, and put the one in the other. In fact, the urge was so strong that I struck out for the flea market the next morning, but alas, came home empty-handed. I’ll let you know if I have any luck!
P.S. Reminds me a bit of this arrangement, which I also love:

On the topic of Martha’s September issue, I also fell in love with this basil centerpiece featured as a Good Thing. As someone who had a lot of extra basil this summer, I think this diminutive arrangement is such a good idea. And the chocolate cosmos, astrantia, and geraniums are perfect bedfellows!

I like the idea of having a bold shower curtain in our main bathroom, since the walls and surfaces are neutral and likely won’t be changing anytime soon.
This option from Walmart is a steal at $16, but I’m thinking it might be a bit too metallic for my tastes.

I also really like this one from VivaTerra, though it’s more steeply priced at $65.

Both of these fit with Friday’s decor. However, I’m also drawn to the little number below, which is just so bright and cheery! I’m not sure how it would look next to our tan walls, although on closer examination, it looks like there might be some taupe in the design?

Perhaps I’ll have to order all three and then decide…
