Grain is a design studio based in Bainbridge Island, Washington that is dedicated to social and environmental responsibilities. They introduced two new houseware collections at ICFF this past weekend: the first is a line of hard goods that includes the Dish Table, which was inspired by hand carved African stools, new stitched mirrors, and new candle stick holders. The second is a natural dye collection of cotton pillows and woven towels. 

Damask is beautiful, but it can also be a bit imposing. These summery home goods have all the charm of traditional damask with a lighter, modern feel. 

I love bedrooms that are well-styled, but I also love the clean simplicity of a bed that looks like it's seriously meant for sleeping in, with cloud-like crisp white bedding and a few downy pillows. 

Hey there good lookin'. I really, really like you but, at $3746, you're a little out of my league. I'm sure you're worth every penny, and no doubt someone else will come along soon and sweep you off the showroom floor. But for now, I have to turn my attention elsewhere... 

We often say that you should stick with neutral furniture and then drop in color with accessories. We're also fans of swapping out throw pillows and blankets to freshen up a home. If you stick with these maxims, you'll definitely want to check out Pyar & Co.'s colorful pillows and throws sourced from fair trade laborers in India.

We've discussed at length the benefits and downfalls of all those decorative pillows. But I'm wondering whether or not you have decorative pillows for your kids' rooms. I'm not talking Pillow Pets or the like, but actual pillows that are merely for decoration, whether they're on the bed or in a chair. Give us the deets!

This one is for the fidgeters among us. The HUHU pillow by Cool Enough Studios is a soft, cuddly pillow with an elegant, basket-weave look, but the strips of fabric hide tiny loops of fabric that can be pulled out and pushed back in at the cuddler’s whim, making it ideal for absentmindedly fussing with while watching TV.

Black and white stripes pack a bold punch, which is great, because summer is no time to be subdued and demure. Go for it with this striped furniture and decor for the outdoors.
