Wall Sticker boxes actually make great garage decor. Or at least that's what my parents think, I guess... And, my little nephew Eli thinks his grandpa makes the best homemade ice cream. That's my interpretation of this photo my mom just sent me, anyway.
Don't miss our Summer Sale. Seriously. I also recommend using the SUMMERSOLSTICE code at checkout for even more savings! Speaking of, the Solstice is tomorrow. It's a big deal in Denmark, so I feel compelled to make it a big deal as well. As in I'll be drinking gin and tonics on a deck somewhere in the sun...
This is my dad. A long time ago... Very James Dean, no? Little did he know then that he'd become one of the best fathers a daughter could ask for. 
Here's the rest of his family an equally long time ago. I love this picture for some reason most likely having to do with the wallpaper and the mystery of what everyone is looking at. Thought I'd include this shot too, because that happens to be my wonderful uncle that I miss very much. I never got to meet my grandpa but based on his two sons, I know I would have liked him a lot. Happy Father's Day!
Hooray! Aimee just finished putting up our Vertigo wallpaper in her guest bathroom. It looks SO PRETTY. 
To add to the prettiness that are black and white stripes, she added in a new mirror and a couple prints from her favorite 20X200.
Somewhere I have pictures of the before. Hmmm... I wonder where I put those. I guess you'll just have to trust me when I say what a difference some stripes make. Nice work, Aimee! 
My favorite thermo mug found a new home! Alongside, this lovely present I got for my birthday last year. It's a little bit chaotic on the shelf, I know. But that's the way life is sometimes...
What a fun surprise to bump into our Apple Tree Tea Towel at the de Young gift shop over the weekend. I'd always suspected it was fine art.
After perusing through the museum, we took in some brass band sounds at the pavilion close by. Did you know this band plays for free every Sunday in Golden Gate Park and has been doing so since 1882? Pretty incredible. I'm planning on spending many more (*sunny) Sundays strolling around the park. Hope to see you there!
Just a little project I finished up last weekend using one of my favorite techniques - double stick tape. I used some mirror tiles to cover up a less than inspiring fireplace finish, complimented by my favorite knitted basket!
So, I woke up the first morning in my new bed, in my new apartment to read this fun article in the San Francisco Chronicle about my favorite decor items! These, of course, include a touch of Ferm Living in the form of my new throw blanket. My fourth favorite thing is that necklace I'm wearing. And, my fifth favorite thing is having coffee in stock (which did not happen...). 4 steps forward, 1 step back. Not bad, right? Thanks so much for the nice write-up, Anh-Minh!
Loving these images of our Power Pole wall sticker over at House & Home.
Looks fab with the ornate chandelier. Great mix!
I was also visiting a friend at my old law firm the other day and got quite a kick from how she's using our light bulb wall sticker. She's been asking for an extra lamp in the corner for a long time to no avail so hung the wall sticker in protest.
I just did a spring colors post over at mydeco (an amazing London-based company that's now in the US), if you're in the mood for some happiness, check it out!
Did you see the final look from Emily's Secrets from a Stylist on HGTV, the other week? We can't stop looking at it. Our branches wall sticker has finally found the fame it so deserves :)
Let's zoom in a for it's close up.
We thought the whole room turned out just fabulous! Thanks so much, Emily! [All images from Emily's blog]
I took my new tree bomb thermo mug for a test drive last week. Here's the lowdown. It works great for sipping coffee in the sun on a Monday morning!
It keeps white wine at a nice cool temperature while you're working on your laptop and watching DWTS results show. Fits on the key board perfectly. Sure, it isn't the most elegant option for serious white wine drinkers, but pretty much fail proof for the multi-taskers out there.
Works equally well for red wine at room temp. A no brainer.
Now that is some serious 24 carrot juice!
I feel like my thermo mug would have kept my Friday night's pina colada frozen for longer than this coconut contraption, but didn't actually test that theory. Of course, I wanted to, but it just seemed a little too awkward. (Note to self re the Tonga Room: once is enough.)
Saturday morning's diet coke was kept refreshingly cold which helped energize after the previous pina colada party. (How cute is that bottle, by the way?)
In an attempt to be extra healthy on Sunday, I tried drinking something epically nourishing. But, here's the thing. Nothing can make those super greens taste better or look prettier. The thermo mug gave it it's very best shot though, I think!
I actually love it when I have an excuse to stay in on a Saturday night, eat take out and watch HGTV. So, I was extra thrilled to see Emily's tweet on Saturday morning hinting that Ferm Living might be on Secrets of a Stylist that night! Emily used our gold branches to help transform a bachelor pad into chicer space for two! We adore how it turned out. We also were happy when they noted how easy it was to put the wall sticker up. According to my (mental) notes, I believe the exact phrasing was: "that was so easy!"
Here's the mood board Emily created for the room. I spy some ribbed wallpaper in black/beige! The room looked so fabulous - lots of neutrals and texture with bright hits of yellow (and gold, of course). We'll post more when the video goes up on hgtv.com. So fun!
Jason and Amee just sent over this picture of some feather wallpaper they just put up in their bedroom. The organic patterns looks so nice with the clean lined furniture and gray walls! Simple and calm. Sort of makes me want to crawl back into my own feather bed. Why isn't is Saturday, yet? Thanks so much for sharing your home with with us, Jason and Amee!
Was leafing through the new Dwell Magazine after my yoga class in the Whole Foods checkout line buying sushi and almost spit up my Kombucha when I saw...
Ferm Living's cork coaster! So very cool. By the way, I completely realize how annoyingly "Stuff White People Like" that sentence above sounded. It was too classic to take out - I can't believe those elements came together so perfectly. It's a good thing I wasn't wearing New Balance. Don't worry, I'm anything but that, I (almost) swear! To prove it, let me just say when I got home, I stuffed down some pepperoni slices, spinach dip and hint of lime Tostitos while watching Dancing with the Stars. Can we talk about that for a second? Kendra stayed? So, so wrong.
Dwell Magazine featured 100 kitchens - so many gorgeous ones; so much inspiration! Here's my favorite. I'd love to belly up to that counter seated on one of those beautiful stools and ask the owners all about their lives in Finland. Don't they look to be full of stories and life lessons? I bet they cook together and that they are both really good at it.
How cute is this? Erin in Calgary posted about a shoe wall she made on her blog, Lucky by Design, which included our lovely Paris map of wallpaper, Voila!
She was inspired by this pretty picture in Elle Decor.
So fun, and I love the yellow and white striped rug with it! Thank you, Erin!
I went to visit my friend Rachel at her lovely home in the North Bay last week. Isn't it so charming and pretty? I stopped by to catch up over lunch and help her wallpaper her nursery!
She'd left a note for me in the entry way. I'm going to start doing this - so sweet and unexpected.
That her entry way features some of our wallpaper (birds on branches) was also a bonus.
One of the many reasons she fell for her husband was his great taste in art as evidenced by this fantastic painting...
So...I had to kill a little time between a meeting and happy hour yesterday, and figured what better way to do this than a stroll around Anthropologie. I was so excited to see the Decorate book there, written by Holly Becker of decor8 and Joanna Copestick, since I've been hearing such great things about it!
It did not disappoint. Not one bit! I loved the photography, mix of interiors and the many inspiring wallpaper applications throughout! My favorite thing? Of course, spying some Ferm Living pillows on the pages. What a fantastic surprise. Above are our velo, bird cage and tree bomb pillows sitting so pretty!
Now, this room is perfection. And, I'm not just saying that because I see a couple more ferm living pillows :) The chair, the rug, my favorite lighting in the world. It is too good. Too good!
This little DIY vase also caught my attention. I love the use of silver sequins with a freshly cut, soft pink rose - reminds me of Morocco! (All images from Decorate.)
That's right. It is a "night light" of sorts illuminating our beautiful forest flower wallpaper. I just bumped into this picture in an old email file. I'm not sure if it was ever published with copy, but it was going to be used in an advertisement. I was always so curious to see how it turned out. Did it increase sales? Am thinking, yes. Wallpaper usually does ;) Happy Weekend!
