Wallpaper Shopping Guide.

Everyone lately has been going gaga for wallpaper. I'm totally on that bandwagon. No matter what your style is, Canadian House and Home has you covered with their wallpaper guide. It walks you through the different styles of wallpaper and gives you pricing and shopping information. Check it out if you get a chance. Oh, and if you have decided to take the plunge and hang wallpaper they have a guide for installing it too!

My couch before and after using Slipcovershop.com

So, I thought I would share a great experience I had with you. A while ago I decided that I wanted a new couch. I did a lot of shopping and had a small budget. I thought I wanted a sectional and actually bought one and brought it home, but it was so uncomfortable. I kept on going back to my couch. The couch I had was the most comfortable couch I have ever sat in. It is a down filled couch and is constructed really well. I just couldn't live with the idea of giving it up to someone on craigslist.

I called a local company about making a custom slipcover, and they wanted around $900. $900 for a custom slipcover?? I couldn't believe it. I knew I could do better. That's when I turned to the internet. I searched a few websites and finally decided on Slipcovershop.com. I couldn't be happier about my experience with this company. When I ordered the fabric swatches, they were shipped super fast and they made the whole process of measuring and ordering fool proof. I opted for the upgraded individual cushion covers with zippers. I really wanted the option of taking them off and washing them with ease.

I think it was 5 days later and I had my custom slip cover..5 days!! I love my new slipcover and I will keep going back to slipcovershop.com My slipcover ended up costing $450.00 and it was worth every penny!







Here is an example of their measuring process:

Home Dressing Rooms.

Perhaps one day I will live in a home that will afford me a room all to myself. You know what that room will look like? A huge dressing room. Until then, I will swoon over the images of other lucky ladies' dressing rooms. A girl can dream.

Brad Ford ID.

I just came across this interior designer, Brad Ford. He has an amazing portfolio that shows off his signature designs which exude elegance, function and timelessness. Here are just a few examples of his work.

New items at West Elm.

I'm loving what I am seeing at West Elm right now. Usually this site is hit or miss for me, but right now they have a ton of hits.




Aren't these pillows adorable? West Elm joined forces with the design duo Patch NYC to create a collection of unique, witty pillow covers. The mix of linen and metallic are enough for me to say "I will take them all"





This cube table lamp would be my choice for my bedroom side tables. The lines are very strong yet the linen shade and the crackled ceramic base makes for a very feminine feel.






Organic Summer Leaf Duvet + Shams at $99 how can you go wrong? Love the modern feel on this organic duvet.

If you are looking for a little inspiration for your home, look no further than Jeffers Design Group. This site is stuffed with design ideas. He is truly a genius. If you don't leave this site wanting to recover a chair, throw up wallpaper, or switch out your table lamps...there is something wrong with you!

If I had an extra $300 laying around, this is what I would spend it on. It's such a versatile desk that can be used in many different ways. It has great clean lines and that never go out of style look. I have posted a few photos so you can see this versatility first hand.
