Over the weekend, I spent some time perusing the LA Furniture Store website, and I came across some seriously cool and interesting furniture. What really caught my eye while I was browsing the site was the many different styles of beds they offer.
When you think of a bed, the most essential part of the bed is where you sleep – on the mattress! But when you really think about it, there is so much creativity that can be had with the headboard or footboard – or even the shape of the bed. The variety of shape of beds is evidenced in the round bed above – simple and circular, yet totally different than most beds as we know them.
As far as headboards go, the variety there is endless – from shape, length, materials – there are so many different headboards out there. I really like the tufted leather one above because its large, looks like an oversized sofa and is just glamorous overall.
The real question is, if you had to choose between these two beds, which would you rather? The sleek round bed or the oversized tufted glam bed?
Personally, I’m rooting for the glam!

My love for bar carts is no secret. But look at these babies. Forget love, let’s talk about obsession.
From Worlds Away, the Carr Bar Cart is available in your choice of either a silver leaf finish or a gold leaf finish. Both carts have fabulous circular mirror insets and glamorous mirrored shelves. And they’re both on wheels so you can take them along with you wherever you go. You know, like next to your bed while you sleep at night or into the bathroom with you when you shower. [Just kidding!]
Available at Clayton Gray Home, each of these carts retails for $1300. Time for this girl to start saving!
What do you think of these Carr Bar Carts? Just enough glam for entertaining?

Ombre is everywhere. Not just in home decor, but in fashion and beauty as well. The ombre hairstyle has become extremely popular, as has the look been translated to jeans, dresses, t-shirts, nails – you name it. We can’t forget about in cooking as well – ombre cakes are all over Pinterest! And we can’t forget ombre flower arrangements as well.
But what about ombre in home decor? From walls and staircases to artwork and home accessories, the ombre effect has made its way to plenty of home decor elements. Personally, I don’t know if I can trust my skills enough to be able to recreate the effect perfectly, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to try, especially something like the art work above.
What do you think about ombre in home decor? Do you love this look or are you not much of a fan?

A collaboration between Finnish designers, Jari Nyman and Olli Mustikainen , resulted in two noteworthy designs – the Mägi bench and the Log lamp. The Mägi combines seating and storage into a bench that mixes simplicity (bench seat) with irregularity (the base). The jagged base allows for open pockets of space to store essentials like magazines, books, or beer. For their Log lamp, the duo was inspired by a burning log with its glow emanating from a fireplace. Press the wood block down and it pops up to expose the light.
