Biscuit Home got its name because owner, Bailey McCarthy, thinks that "Like an edible biscuit, your bed should always be super fluffy and a bit crisp" (Biscuit). McCarthy, creator of the popular blog - Peppermint Bliss, started Biscuit Home because she saw a hole in the marketplace for quality printed bedding at a reasonable price point. Biscuit Home has since expanded to include home decor items but their bread and butter (or shall I say biscuit and butter) remains their colorful bedding. My favorites are the Amber collection for adults and the Jamie collection for the kiddos. 

ming/kang tables

So I have always referred to this type of table as a Ming Dynasty table. However, I think they might actually be classified as kang tables. According to about home "kang tables are a type of Chinese furniture; a long low table, usually rectangular, typically with short cabriole or elephant-trunk legs and paw or claw feet; often made of a single piece of wood originally meant to be place on a kang, a raised three-walled platform used for sleeping or relax; dating back to the third century BC, it flourished in the Ming Dynasty (1386-1644) and continued into the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911), growing increasingly ornate" (about home). Used as cocktail tables, I love this style particularly in raw wood used in a more informal setting. Although they work equally great lacquered in a more formal living room. An added bonus is that Etsy and Ebay have tons listed so you can often find one that is easy on the budget. See below for a few favorites.

crate and barrel

I was in Crate and Barrel the other day and immediately honed in on a set of blush dinnerware. It was just the right shade - pink but not too pink - beautifully designed with just the slightest bit of detail. I don't usually do too much sourcing at Crate and Barrel but I think they have some really nice pieces. They seem to be moving in a slightly different design directly lately and I have to say I think I like it. See below for just a few favorites.
