Site Spotlight: Modern Throw Pillows at Simply Cushions

Ever wonder where to buy those Nordic style throw pillows you see in those beautifully sparse Scandinavian rooms posted all over Pinterest and Instagram? Try Australian (and New Zealand) shopping site, StyleCarrot partner) Simply Cushions.

Taking a break for the angst ridden events of the day, I perused Simply Cushions, which offers over 300 different modern throw pillows made from 100 percent cotton linen. I particularly love the geometric designs with restrained palettes. 

If you like to be kinda coordinated, the site offers them in groupings of four and six. This is a selection of my favorite modern throw pillow styles from Simply Cushions:

Simply Cushions also offers kid-friendly throw pillow designs. I have always loved British illustrator Ashley Percival’s owl characters. So cute. (And I didn’t realize Ashley is a guy til I went to his site just now.) I don’t have little kids anymore but I think many of these cushions could work elsewhere.

Just In: Novogratz x Walmart Bedding Collaboration

Husband and wife design duo Bob and Cortney Novogratz are at it again. There latest effort is the 9 by Novogratz bedding and bath collection at Walmart. The line includes bedding, beds, and bath accessories in their signature bright, geometric pops of color. The pieces are great for kids—the couple have seven of their own—and extra vibrant grownups.

Bob and Cortney Novogratz masterfully layer pattern and color, but of course the throw pillows, shams, duvets, towels, and shower curtains work perfectly as accents . The collection also includes furniture—painted metal beds, upholstered beds and headboards in stripes and solids, tufted storage ottomans, solid color sofas, and chevron armchairs.

In addition to the 9 by Novogratz bedding and bath collection at Walmart, there’s the Novogratz dinnerware collection at Macy’s with brightly patterned dishes, and the Novogratz collection at CB2 with more eclectic home furnishings.  They even have a television show, “Home by Novogratz” on HGTV. Yeah, they are pretty busy and creative energy abounds.

I’ve deconstructed two rooms below (and included images of several others), so you can put the look together yourself.

Gift Guide: 12 Gifts for Her Under $50

Raising the bar a few dollars. . .  Last Wednesday it was Gifts for Her Under $25. Do I see see $50? Splurge a little on your sister or your BFF. These presents under $50 are all seriously cute. I’d love the earrings. The tape holder is tres chic, but not sure my desk is glam enough. The note blocks are cool though. And if you’re not totally into camo fashion, but want a taste of the trend, the cosmetic pouch is perfect.

Get the Look: 27 Black Home Furnishings

Since black is *the* color for decor, and I’ve done plenty of posts focusing on black decor, including black kitchen pendant lights and rooms with black walls for LampsPlus and black bedrooms for the Matouk Bedding blog, I thought it was time to do a roundup of black home furnishings and accessories. From black flatware to black seating, there are 27 choices, all with distinctive details or in interesting silhouettes. (Come to think of it, though, I may never have done a roundup of rooms with black walls here. . .  perhaps I owe you one!)
