frances loom

Today, I am sharing one of my newest and best resources for antique rugs - Frances Loom. Started in the fall of 2014, Frances Loom is an online retailer based out of California.  Posting new rugs for sale every Thursday morning at 8am PST,  these one of a kind pieces sell crazy fast. In Frances Loom, Kelly Vittengl - owner and "rug slinger" - has created a one stop shop of antique rugs that saves the shopper the time and hassle of scouring Ebay and Craigslist. Yes - her pieces are a little higher priced but her taste is impeccable.

Below are some of my favorites - unfortunately all already sold.

tom scheerer in the bahamas

This time last year, we were planning our May trip to the Bahamas. It was an amazing vacation and one we frequently talk of doing again. In fact, if it were feasible I would book that trip right now! So when I saw the recent Architectural Digest feature on Tom Scheerer's new personal Bahamas home, I was already predisposed to love the project. Composed of six small pavilions connected by courtyards and outdoor living spaces, the home is simplicity at its best. Stucco covered concrete, hipped roofs and thick walls make the structures into their own sort of monolithic village.

The exterior is perfectly complimented by the interior which includes lots of white, rattan and natural textiles.

This Great Abaco Island home is just the most recent of Scheerer's Bahamas design collection. Past projects include this stunning hilltop home....

This veranda home...

As well as several others - some available for viewing on Scheerer's website and other not yet published.

pillowfort - target's new collection for kids

Target recently launched their new home collection for kids called Pillowfort. Its a huge collection of 600+ items and has some truly amazing items for little ones. I also was pleasantly surprised to see some pieces that would work great in adult spaces. Below are more than a few of my favorite items in the collection. Nice job Target!

Bedding

One of my standout items from Pillowfort are their sheet sets. When thinking about the design of kids room, I tend towards investing in a quilt or duvet cover and then mixing it with more a economical sheet set. It can be hard to find cute, fun and on budget sheets which is why Pillowfort's selection is especially great.

On the more whimsical design side, I like....

Flamingo Sheet Set - THE PLACE HOME

Forest Friends Sheet Set - THE PLACE HOME

Rustler's Ranch Sheet Set - THE PLACE HOME

They also have some great basics that could also easily be used in a grown up bedroom...

Furniture

The furniture selection is more limited but I do really like the Boone collection as well as this fun nightstand below that is available in a couple of different colors. 

1-Drawer Mid-Century Kids Nightstand - THE PLACE HOME

Boone 3-Shelf Kids Console Bookcase - THE PLACE HOME

Lighting

Another home run category of items from Pillowfort is their lighting. Almost all of their lamps are available in several different colors and are all priced super reasonably. Also most of their designs would work in any room in the house.

Desk Task Lamp - THE PLACE HOME
