Quirky decor

I sure do love a quirky decor piece and these bloom my buddy planters from designers Niels van Eijk and Miriam van der Lubbe are the perfect amount of fun and practical. With endless design possibilities these planters would be the center of attention in any room, I could just imagine that little green haired one just chillin on my table top. Its always fun to have at least one non conventional vase in your possession for those days when you need a little extra pizzazz.

Nicely done Ikea

Just when I think I can finally rid my entire house of Ikea furniture, here they are giving us these adorably cute plant pots to make me change my mind.  With this move the husband and I have been trying to change our fresh out of college look and graduate to 'adult' pieces, but their price tags keep us browsing a few of the essentials... like that drawer that no one will see inside the closet.  This hanging and standing planter however would be perfect for our new giant window.

Dwell on design part 2

I was super excited to see Wallter at Dwell on design, and I wasn't the only one, their spaces were packed!  I was only able to get one shot without another person, but it was worth the elbowing to get a peek.  I simply loved their powder coated aluminum planters, they are super modern and just fun to look at.  Plus they come ready to mount to the wall, hang or even on posts for outdoors.  The posts are my favorite.  Wallter also has a variety of goodies for your home, including lovely comforters, wooden paint-able wall decor and even fabric.

I can't wait for these outdoor post planters to become available!

What a fun take on a traditional lighting medallion.

I absolutely love this organic shape and color!
