I am currently SWOONING over the new arrivals at West Elm. They are finally really picking up on the mid-century trend. Although mid century has definitely had a huge revival this past decade, I don’t think I could ever tire of it. While picking out a piece from West Elm may not be quite as gratifying as scouring thrift stores for the odd Paul McCobb piece and refinishing it yourself, it at least provides another option.
I would love to have this Mid Century bed—though we can currently only fit a full in our bedroom, so I’d probably hold out on an update. The nightstand (the pioneer of this new mid century line) is probably still my favorite piece.

Wow, that chair! My friend Katherine is not totally digging the fabric. However, I love that the fabric resembles a cozy blanket. I think it would provide an awesome casual vibe to many-a-home.

Not much needs to be said about this gorgeous Crosby sectional. Priced just around $2,200 it’s a pretty affordable for the sofa world.

Lastly, mid-century inspired dressers galore! I particularly love the design above the legs.

Is it just me, or have fox prints become the biggest trend lately? I first started seeing them all over the place in London. The adorable Souvenir Gallery in the Highgate neighborhood of London seemed to have a fox on every type of product you can think of. One of my dear friends bears the last name Fox, so I am always on the lookout for fun namesake gifts. Here are a few adorable iterations I’ve come across.

I was hesitant to get those black and white pillows from Ikea that seem to have snuck their way into every design bloggers home—turns out they’re perfect.

Just moved some furniture around due to the new desk we bought for the big black desktop computer (cringe). Haven’t styled the surfaces yet, but I am diggin’ the new setup.

This piano table would be the perfect solution for my tiny apartment. I miss my upright piano dearly, but there is no way I could get it up these narrow stairs. I love that this piano doesn’t sacrifice style—I just wish it were more affordable!

This is really great.

Lately I’ve become a sucker for white bedding. Up until recently I’ve always opted for color and pattern in my bedding choices, but there is something so classic, luxurious and relaxing about white bedding.
I may have first fallen in love when I saw this bedroom in Rue Magazine—it belongs to the blogger Joanna Swanson of Simple Blueprint.

It’s just so mellow, textured and elegant but unassuming.
Another white (and black) themed bedroom, from the home of Jane Cameron, as featured on Design Sponge.

When I recently saw a duvet set go on super-sale at Blissliving Home, I jumped at the opportunity (even though I am weary about buying linens without getting to feel them in person). Overall I am quite pleased with them!
I am impressed by the outcome, hard work, and patience that went into this five-year Bushwick reno.
Oh my goodness, I just left New Orleans and am already feeling nostalgic. With windows like that and fabulous porches decorating nearly every abode, there are a lot of things I will miss about NOLA.
