Bulky, ugly, necessary, maybe even steamy – but usually not sexy.

These humidifiers, made with the technological genius and aesthetic savvy of  Japanese Designers, are a downright sexy way to steam up your living room and counter the dry winter heat your radiator cranks out.

A Penchant for Pendant (Lamps): Home Decor & Design Under $250 http://198.46.88.49/living/home/a-penchant-for-pendant-lamps-home-decor-design-under-250 http://198.46.88.49/living/home/a-penchant-for-pendant-lamps-home-decor-design-under-250#respond Tue, 12 Jan 2010 21:14:29 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=8653 As any model knows, good lighting is key. And just as it does for glamazons on magazine covers, the right light can give your home an instant face lift too. Which is why changing up your lighting is a great, inexpensive way to spruce up your home.

We’re loving pendant lamps this season, so we’ve gathered a few of our very favorites that will keep your home in the swing of things. “Hang around” a while, why don’t ya? We have a feeling that once you’ve checked them out, you’ll be falling for these guys too.

SEE THROUGH IT

Glass pendant lamps are incredibly in right now, but the best part about them? Their versatility. Hang them in your office, your kitchen, even the bedroom – if you’re looking to give your home a touch of Modern sleekness or Rustic Chic, you couldn’t go wrong with any of these picks.

A TOUCH OF TEXTURE

Never underestimate the power of white when it comes to your lighting. By toning down the color and amping up the texture, you’re sure to get a beautiful play of shadow and light in your home. It’s simple, classic, and always stunning.

Home Decor & Design Under $250: Tea for Two, Towels for Tea http://198.46.88.49/living/home/home-decor-design-under-250-tea-for-two-towels-for-tea http://198.46.88.49/living/home/home-decor-design-under-250-tea-for-two-towels-for-tea#respond Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:19:16 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=4578 Whether you live for the stuff or can’t stand it, tea has at least brought us one item that is universally loved: the tea towel.

For the Retro Diva, the Julia Vol. 1 $16 Towel from Sara Smedley

For the Retro Diva, the "Julia Vol. 1" $16 Towel from Sara Smedley

If you think you don’t love the tea towel yet, just wait until the end of this post (as we attempt to convert you).

(1) The tea towel is essentially the only artwork in your house that you can actually use on a daily basis. And when you’re not drying? Hang it on a hook, fold it on a rack, even frame it on your wall – instant and effortless style is yours in no time.

(2) A tea towel is a versatile item that can suit any and every personality type and decor. Have a classic kitchen? No, problem – check out the black and white pieces from Ferm Living. Want to add some spunk to your dull kitchen? Check out the delightfully irreverent selection at BlueQ or the witty towels at ToDryFor.com.

(3) But, the most important reason to invest in a tea towel or two? You should never pay more than $20 for one. That’s right – for less than 20 bucks a fabbity, colorful, fun tea towel is all yours. So what are you waiting for?

For A Classy Bird, Love Birds, $19 from Ferm Living

Decal Wall Stickers: Decor Under $250 http://198.46.88.49/living/home/decall-wall-stickers-decor-under-250 http://198.46.88.49/living/home/decall-wall-stickers-decor-under-250#respond Sat, 24 Oct 2009 00:49:30 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=3808 If you’re not afraid to go outside the box with your walls, but don’t have the cash for a large-scale paint/wall-paper remodel, then this newest trend is for you. Decal Wall Stickers are an easy way to add some punch, pizazz, or even whimsy to your walls on the cheap. Here are our picks for the best that stickers have to offer…

Hu2 Design offers stickers ranging from pretty and mainstream (see the Paris skyline to the left) to the delightfully out there (who wouldn’t want a toilet monster?) . Think wall stickers for the Urban Outfitters crowd.

gerbera

BLIK – a company that advertises themselves as selling “wall graphics for the commitment-phobic” has an incredible range of stickers. While they have a ton of quirky and kid inspired graphics, we’re really digging their simpler designs – like their funky headboards or the Gerber daisy featured left.

Ferm Living stickers, classy monotone creations, are the kind of stickers you’d expect to find in an airy Paris loft. Pricier than our other two picks, Ferm Living is for the minimalist designer who wants to add some visual interest to their otherwise blank walls.
