Retail Therapy

And if your grandma has a bed like this, then she's pretty okay in our book.

If you don’t already know that I’ve spent the last year and a half building a house, you should check out my posts that have documented the process since last January 2016. As I approach the finish line (move in some furniture next week), I want to use my Fantastic Find slot to showcase some of the remarkable sources and products that I’ve put into the project.

Hey there, interior design fans! We all know that there’s some real great stuff on the Apartment Therapy site if you’re trying to really jazz up your living space, but I’d like to walk you through a few of my personal design tips via the wonder that is Amazon shopping, the horrifyingly amazing finds unearthed in the marketplace’s deep crevices and all that they can add to a home. Let’s go (and prepare for a wild ride)!

If California Cool is your go to aesthetic, you’re going to want to head to CB2 right now. The modern retailer just launched a collaboration with Los Angeles based label Fred Segal. Fred Segal is famously known for their denim, and the signature fabric makes an appearance in the 34 piece collection, most notably on pillows. There are a selection to choose from, featuring embroidery, distressing, and other classic jean treatments.

The web is brimming with user-friendly vintage decor sellers that make scoring a one-of-a-kind piece easier than ever. However, with all those online options, knowing what to look for, and more importantly, how to separate the good stuff from the bad, isn’t always easy.

Is there anything the Property Brothers won’t try? Ever-popular celebrity twins Drew and Jonathan Scott tackle home renovations and makeovers on their plethora of HGTV shows, have a country band, and today they’ve announced that they’ve created a furniture line. The brothers teamed up with home improvement retailer Lowe’s for their first ever collection, called Scott Living.

With seven kids, several collections, a plethora of books and TV shows, and often, at least one renovation going on at any given time, the Novogratz are a design duo that’s hardly one to rest on their laurels—or even rest. And they have something new to announce today: a partnership with Amazon for an e-commerce storefront.

Good news: Pottery Barn just added new items to their small space collection, which debuted earlier this year. Check out some of the pieces below: Back in January, the retailer announced a collection of space conscious, multifunctional pieces that represented a new market for a brand that can often be associated with spacious suburban living. And it’s proving successful: What started out in just 15 stores is now expanding to 56 in “thoughtfully selected markets.

Shopping vegan might be easier than you think. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) announced this week the first ever winners of their Vegan Homeware Awards, and some big names are among the mix. “As demand for compassionate and sustainable homeware grows – in line with soaring interest in vegan living – the PETA Vegan Homeware Awards celebrate the best designs and innovations for a cruelty-free home,” the activist organization said in a press release.

Fans of color, rejoice. The iconic maker of patterned quilted bags, Vera Bradley, has expanded into actual quilts. The company’s first line of bedding launched this week, and is already selling out. The floral meets pattern combo of a Vera Bradley bag gets a fresh twist for the bedroom, with playful paisleys, oversized poppies, and a pared down Swedish motif, to name a few. The line includes quilts, shams, duvet covers, and accent pillows ranging in price from $29.99 to $179.99.

Members who made in store purchases racked up points which, once a threshold was met, could be redeemed for items such as apparel, food, sunglasses, etc.

We love Horne for their selection of stunning modern design, but we’re downright obsessed when it’s on deep discount. The retailer’s warehouse sale is going on right now, and you can snag items at prices that are 50 to 60 percent off.

As a discerning species, your cat naturally deserves the best—and, so does your home.

Ever since TJX companies announced a new home store concept back in February, we’ve been following the news closely. Now we have even more info about HomeGoods spinoff chain, Homesense, like what will be inside and where and when the first stores are opening.

If you’ve had your eye on something from Urban Outfitters recently, today would be a good day to head over to their site. The retailer’s summer sale is currently underway and over 600 home items are up to 70% off—seriously. We’ve searched through every single one of them to round up our top picks of furniture, accessories, lighting, bedding, and more.

Though we can totally see the appeal of mass-produced goods (easy to come by, usually pretty affordable), no space is really complete without a dash of the handmade. The character that an artisanal product lends to an interior far and beyond outdoes anything you can find at a big box store. Hence, why we love Etsy and all its indie makers, particularly those making goods for the kitchen.

Think about your home. Are the shapes of your furnishings — tables, cabinets, doors, windows — mostly square or rectangular? You’re in good company. Most homes are filled with straight lines, which is perhaps why I’ve been seeing circles come around the design scene so much recently.

But lucky for all of us mere mortals, this doesn’t have to be the case!

Some trends stand the test of time for a reason. Case in point: cement tiles. Although they’ve been making waves in the decor scene for a looong while now (historians date some versions back to the 12th Century), these beautiful tiles started to pop up inside the most design-savvy contemporary homes across the globe in recent years in a big way.

Whether splurging for the natural stone itself or opting for the faux look, the trend has never been more attainable to get. Peruse our roundup of marble-ous (see what we did there?

I once heard a designer (whose name I cannot remember) say something that stuck with me. The exact phrasing escapes me, but the gist was that you should be investing your money in the items that you touch daily. The closer to your skin, the more you should consider spending.
