606 Shelving System…

If you are in the need of some serious shelving and you have a good budget to work with, may I suggest the 606 Shelving System by Dieter Rams. This system is a modular system composed of various upright elements to be customized with hanging flat or inclined shelves, garment rods under shelves, 2 or 3 drawer units, cabinets with flap down or retractable doors creates and internal movable shelves. A floating desk is also available.

Laundry Rule No. 1…

Today let’s talk laundry. Wait, don’t tune me out! It can actually be a fun chore if using the right products. Laundry is the one house chore that I have to stay on top of. If not, the pile gets bigger, the clothes get dirtier and I get majorly stressed out. A laundry rule that I abide by is “the grass is always greener on the lawn”. Nothing is worse than finding a stain on my kids shirt that just won’t come out. Are you with me?? Martha has some of the best tips (here) when it comes to getting stains out. I swear I’ve used them as references for years! Also, as far as a laundry product goes, Tide HE provides excellent cleaning with the right level of sudsing for high-efficiency washers. It creates few suds and disperses quickly to get great cleaning performance with only a fraction of the amount of water used in traditional machines.

 

Now that I’ve preached Laundry to you, do you have any laundry rules to share?

Inspiration {Moody Office}…

Happy Monday! I woke up with a massive summer and sun hangover. To try and regain some inspiration, I went on Pinterest and found this beauty of an office. I’m loving the deep gray color. It creates such a moody, stylish space. See more of this space here.

FLOR in my home…

I told you a few weeks ago that I recently got a FLOR carpet for my living room. I have to say that it’s been my favorite rug that I’ve owned thus far. Mostly because it’s an actual carpet so the durability is crazy good! I chose the Vintage Vibe pattern. The pattern doesn’t feel overwhelming in this space and the gray is perfectly neutral for my taste. I’m in the process of finishing this room for some future photo shoots so I can’t show you the entire space, but when I can show you, you’ll see that the size is perfect for this room. It’s large enough to place most of my furniture on the rug.

Shop FLOR here.

Other items in Living Room to note- Luna Sofa, Eames Plywood Coffee Table (bought here), Diamond Pillow, Wimbledon Gray Chair, Ferm Living Bowl and California Homes book.

Lighting Love..

I’m currently loving Supergrau lighting! The creative trio forming Supergrau include Denis Cegielski, Tobias Welzel, and Bjoern Berger. Their motto “To love, to buy, to preserve,” guides them throughout the development of their lighting line. The trio works to emphasize the simplistic blend of raw materials, using recoverable stainless steel, marble, and wood. Their new pieces include the Furore Suspension, the Furore Table Lamp and the Hanger Wall Lamp, all of which I would have in my own home! Lovely.

 

Project Bly…

I was just introduced to one of my new favorite online shops, Project BlyProject Bly is a website that lets you explore and shop the streets of cities around the world. They source directly from vendors in bazaars, and bring alive the streets and markets of a city through photography and story. They are currently featuring La Paz, Bolivia Their lookbook was shot and styled by the very talented Kelly Ishikawa and Rod Hipskind, who both did my house for Anthology Magazine.

Inspiration {Neutral Oasis}…
