A few weeks ago, I sent out a tweet about one of my favorite catalogs:
I know that many design enthusiasts eagerly anticipate when stores like IKEA and Pottery Barn release their catalogs and new products. And while I like to ogle these catalogs and can appreciate the fabulous design, I’m much more excited when companies like Viva Terra debut new products. Why? Because I know they have been sustainably made and I can feel good about buying anything I discover that I can’t live without

I swear, writing for this blog, I fall in love every single day. One day, I’ll think I’ve found the ultimate piece that completely defines my style and would make me happy for the rest of my life (much like the Trees nightstand and dresser by Iannone Design that I posted yesterday). Then, I’ll go on about my business and, by accident, bump into something else that I feel like I can’t live without. Enter the Sort Sol Lamp, by Stray Dog Designs for Anthropologie. As obsessed as I am with bird motifs, it’s been a long time since I’ve found one that uses birds in a new and different way. This lamp just makes me happy.

Dark blue has been on my “must have” list lately. Although I’d originally planned to find something to paint, I may have to reconsider. The Organic Indigo Collection from Zen Deluxe is like something from a green dream. Finding gorgeous, eco-friendly linens in indigo isn’t impossible, but it’s definitely a challenge. This collection single-handedly changed that.
Each piece is available separately, so you can go subtle with a pillow cover, rug or lamp shade, or combine several of these elements for a look that is both cohesive and eclectic, as seen in the first photo. Personally, I think having all of them in one space would be overkill, but the ability to mix and match to your desired saturation is awesome.

I love our new apartment. Really, I do. It has presented us with some decorating challenges that have forced both me and my husband to think creatively about how to solve them. But the one feature of this new place that’s driving me absolutely nuts is the lack of lighting in both the bedrooms and the living room.
