When it comes to purchasing furniture and accessories, I flip-flop between three options: in-store locally, online and when visiting new countries. The latter is probably my favourite method due to the sentimental value of purchasing items that encourage you to recall your time in a different country, though I'll admit, it presents the most difficulties - ever tried packing an XL blanket into a suitcase? I assure you, it's no fun! It was that wonderful experience that forced me to limit myself and keep the purchase of larger items to shopping online. With this in mind, the first category over on the UncommonGoods website that caught my eye was the Pillow & Blanket section. All four of the below give serious 'spring vibes', though I adore cushion designs inspired by nature and so Barry Rosenthal's botanical art-printed rectangular canvas pillows receive a massive round of applause from me!
Psst! If you're curious about what goes on behind the scenes of the contributing jewellery designers and artists, check out UncommonGoods' studio tours for sneak peeks inside their minds and workspaces!

Moving on to every blogger's dream - perfect prints to line the wall behind our desks! Pinterest is inspiring in all sorts of ways and lately I've found more than anything it serves as a persuasive voice telling me to create a dreamy office space bursting with pretty accessories! First stop, prints. Visit here to start daydreaming about how appealing a line-up of printed macarons could be, leaning up against your magazine file. At this point, I'm feeling as though I could justify any purchase thanks to UncommonGoods' Better to Give program. Started 12 years ago, the program has donated over $1 million (approx £700,000) to charities around the world, by donating $1 from every sale to the customer's chosen non-profit organisation!


With love,

Home decor is one of my favorite categories to browse through on Pinterest! It's so addictive.

I love shopping whenever I'm traveling as well, but I always try to get little things that can easily fit into my bags—easier said than done! ^^;
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love those bookends, they're so cute!

I love the hint of botanicals in this post, the leaf/fern prints are lovely - that's just the kind of thing I'm looking for in my room at the moment! I definitely feel rejuvenated and refreshed whenever spring rolls around. - Tasha
ReplyDeleteI totally get what you mean by wanting to change and redecorate everything around you Gabrielle! Take it from someone who purchases home and living magazines to spend my free time reading- I feel the need to redecorate about every month or two. I just wish my pocket would allow for it!

I always love the idea of transforming! I don't know I feel energetic every time I have a plan on renovate my room, because it means I have an excuse to shop at Primark and IKEA for hours!
ReplyDeleteBuying decor items while travelling is fun but as you noticed aslo very unpractical because of packing. I do think when it comes to buying souvernirs we need to limit ourselves to smaller ones (in this case size matters). I will never forget when some guys boarding a flight from Ibiza showed up with an enormous lamp (really enormous, it was a size of an average person). After some thinking, we (the cabin crew) agreed that it is best we lock it up in the aircraft's lavatory (because it couldn't fit anywhere else and it was too late to make them take it out).
ReplyDeleteThose pillows are beautiful! ...and how cute are those black cats...that has got to be the perfect way to store our magazines.

I also from time to time get an urge to renew everything, my entire style (though it usually only ends up with me spending a few hours checking online stores for clothes and decor! I'm a saver - a little too much of a saver, it can actually be hard for me to buy something so here I sit with completely empty walls ..) a burst of inspiration in the shape of an arriving magazine every week might change that, these looks amazing and I hope you can go through with the changes you want and I'm sure you can make it beautiful! Prints for the workspace truly is the dream for every blogger, haha! xx

ReplyDeleteHome decor is one of the things I wish I could call my hobby, but I just don't have the time and the true passion for it, so I stick to reading inspirational blog posts like yours. Regarding magazines, my stack is on the sofa table, where it grows and grows until we can't watch tv without being bothered, then the top of the stack is thrown away:)
ReplyDeleteI'm also on a huge home decor kick, and am so excited to start!
