garden of delights

I couldn't leave the blog on such a bad, flame retardant sofa note, so to brighten your Thursday please enjoy this collection of gorgeous planters from asensio_mah and graduate students at the Harvard School of Design.  Very inspirational.  Maybe this is the weekend to get outside and start your own garden!

toxic sofas?

One of my all-time favorite things to do is nap on the couch on a Sunday afternoon.  It's usually the best sleep I get all week, even with the TV on and a magazine in my hand.  The sofa has been a headquarters of relaxation for me for so long, to read this article was depressing and scary!  There are so many reasons to buy green/sustainable/eco friendly/FSC certified/organic... whatever you want to call it!

Your Toxic Sofa- Why it is Still Full of Flame Retardants

broken promises

I JUST promised I would post more and then I have been so bad about it!  I do have a good excuse though... my boyfriend took me on what I thought was a birthday trip to Cambria (one of our favorite places as you can tell by this blog post) and then he PROPOSED!  I was totally surprised and unbelievably happy.  So I have been very distracted lately but I'm back and so ready to share more projects, design news, and inspiration with you.  Specifically, Pantone's color forecast for this fall.

I am digging the honey gold and rose smoke so much!  The entire collection of colors is just great.  Of course they worked in Tangerine Tango, color of the year, really well!  Autumn without being too predictable.  How will we use this?  Check out my Pinterest board dedicated to Autumn to see!
