Loving: Allrum's Tile Stickers


These Tile Stickers from Huset are a really cute and easy way to update a bathroom or kitchen.  Plus, it's probably a lot less expensive to use these stickers on plain tiles than to buy the specially designed tiles.

Loving: Metal Tiles


These Self-Adhesive Metal Tiles from Interior51 are really cool.  You can put them anywhere since you just have to peel off the backing and stick them like stickers.  Plus, they come in three different finishes so you can arrange them in a bunch of different patterns.

Loving: Hand Print Wallpaper

This Hand Print Wallpaper from Branch reminds me of a crazy game of Chutes and Ladders.  The black and white scheme makes it much more adult, and not quite so crazy.

Loving: Stanley Wallpaper

I love the crazy geometric shapes in the Stanley modern wallpaper from 2Modern.  The bright orange would be great to do on one wall, or just a strip or two in a room.

Loving: Fashion Wallpaper

I really need to expand my closet to a walk in and completely line it with this wallpaper from Ferm Living at Feel More Human.  It would just make getting ready in the morning ten times more fun, and you couldn't help but be outrageously fashionable.

Loving: Glass Doorknobs


These pumpkin and large glass doorknobs and from Graham and Green are just the perfect thing to do a quick upgrade on an apartment.  They'll make every door just a little bit more special, and when you move out, you can simply swap all the knobs back to the original ones.

Bathing in: Ios Bath Tub

This Ios tub from Victoria and Albert Baths is really sleek.  All of the controls are housed separately from the tub, so you don't have to worry about leaning back and having to get comfy with a faucet sticking in your back.  And it looks really deep, so you can fill it up and relax.

Loving: Labyrinth Lock

I think I would never be able to get out of the house in the morning if I installed this Defendius Labyrinth lock from Think Geek.  It would be really fun though to lock the door when guests come over and have them let themselves out.

Loving: Bamboo Tiles

These Kimono tiles from Anchor Bay Tile are made from taking slices of bamboo and mounting them in resin.  Each piece is unique in color, shape and texture, making them a focal point in any room.  I think they'd make a really interesting new surface for a desk or coffee table.

Knocking on: Reclaimed Doors


These reclaimed doors from Smiths Architectural are a great way to quickly make a big change to your home.  They're antique doors from the 20s and 30s reclaimed from renovated or demolished houses, but once they're fixed up and in your home, it makes your entry way unique.

Currently Loving: Ferm Living



















These bright wallpapers from Ferm Living at 2Modern are a great combination of rich, saturated colors and an earthy, natural feel.  I love the contrast of white on the teal of the Family Tree wallpaper, but the Wildflower wallpaper is a but more subtle.  While you could just put it up on one wall or even just a strip or two, doing a whole room or a hallway would have a real impact.

Currently Loving: Emma Jeffs





















I love these subtle window stickers from Emma Jeffs  at Design Public for a change in a bathroom or bedroom window.  It still lets enough light in, but it's not as harsh, and gives you some privacy.

Stuff a cork in it!


































I love these great colors of cork flooring from BlackRiver Flooring.  The lighter one is called Baltic Cream.  The darker, more marbled one is called Lunar, and it really looks like stone mined off the moon.  I love the idea of using the different colors to create a quilted or mosaic design.

Currently Loving: Ann Sacks



































These hand painted tiles from Ann Sacks called Iznik are made in Turkey.  I love the bold colors and patterns.  These would look great as a single stripe in a kitchen, or as an entire wall in a bathroom.

The writing's on the wall...

These braille wall flats from Inhibit are a perfect fix for boring white apartment walls or older dented walls.  I wish I knew what it said, but the braille is an unexpected texture that's just enough to make a wall loads more interesting without taking over the rest of the room.

These Tiles are Ceiling the Deal



These ceiling designs from Armstrong are great remakes of the tin ceilings that were popular in Victorian Homes.  These tiles, though, are great no matter what style of home you have.  Your ceiling has been begging to be more interesting, give it the chance.

Pop the Cork and Shower!



I love the idea of using cork instead of more traditional wood flooring.  The great thing about cork, is that it has a little bit more cushion than hard wood and it has a really interesting texture.

The Showercork from Sustainable Flooring comes in sheets of circles that are the leftovers from making wine corks, and they look like they apply very easily.  Plus, who wouldn't want to be reminded of a great bottle of wine every time you took a shower?

Since it's absolutely frigid outside, all I want is a nice hot soak in a tub.  Mine being shallow, and hot water being somewhat lacking, I end up fantasizing about what it would be like to have a small pool in my bathroom.  
The Fuzion by Jacuzzi has room for two plus plenty of jets, armrests, pillows, and colored lights, just incase a regular old bubble bath was just too normal.
