We just received these images from a really great customer, Necia! She became a fan of ferm LIVING when she purchased the Velo tea towel. She told us it was too nice to use, so decided to frame it. She then ordered some samples which she also framed - so pretty!
After checking out the samples, she contacted us about buying a remnant, which we were glad to sell. She decided to rock the wilderness wallpaper in black lacquer and just used adhesive spray to attach it to the screen. She then painted around the edges. A true work of art. We love it! Thanks so much, Necia!

Just thought I'd share a couple of my Rose Bowl flea market finds which I'm super proud of due to their inexpensiveness. Before I get started though, can I mention how excited I was to pass Los Alamos, CA on the way to LA from SF? Growing up in the other one, I can only imagine how different this place is. Yet the signage is pretty much the same. I wonder if the kids in Los Alamos, CA have a decent place to hang out? We used to congregate in the parking lots... Yep, and then pretty much stay there.
Anyway, I'd been looking for something to soften up my acrylic vanity and this 70's.ish wicker mirror from Japan seemed like just the right thing. [Not the nightmare inducing doll, though...why so glum?]
One day, I will arrange this better, but see how it'll work in the mix? It barely cost a thing, so if you don't like it, I won't be offended. I will also be wallpapering the back of it with this.
I found this set of champagne bowls at the very end of the day. They were just what I've been looking for, except even cheaper. I also liked how the man selling them said they had "chipless rims," and then when I pointed out how one of the rims was chipped he gave it to me for free. That's called using the evidence to your advantage. I can't wait to go back to the Rose Bowl! If only I had cash to burn and way to get things back to MN. There's an amazing vintage Louis Vuitton trunk with my name on it!
Found this cool picture here and thought it might be a nice little reminder to always turn off the lights when you leave a room :) If you find the look of bare light bulbs hard to resist, not unlike myself, consider our light bulb wall decals - same effect, less energy!
When I was back in California, I stayed a few nights at the lovely home of my friends Sarah and Bob. They recently redid their kitchen and used some family tree in petrol to add a pop of color in their pantry. I was excited to check it out in person. I was very impressed not only with the wallpaper handiwork, but also with their fully stocked bar. Bob is a mix master.
Here's their kitchen looking out from the pantry. I just love it. So simple, elegant and cheerful. Back behind that black bar is where I spend most of my time :) Thanks for having me to stay! See you soon!
Just heading back after a fantastic weekend in California. One of the highlights was checking out the flea market at the Rose Bowl. Why did I wait so long?! We got there at 6:00 am, and to start things off we grabbed donuts and coffee. Needless to say, a day that starts with donuts is bound to be a success.
We LOVE these two accents walls recently added to Jenny's beautiful home in San Francisco! The branch wallpaper in the bedroom is a perfect backdrop to the wooden headboard, and the ribbed wallpaper in the bathroom adds a lovely touch of nature to the modern sink. So fun! Thanks so much for sending over these photos, Jenny!
Abby just sent over this picture of Little Leaves wallpaper in her bathroom. I think it looks fantastic with the black vanity. Just perfect. Thanks so much, Abby!
