Kick off the week with some new pillows to change it up in your living room. Spice things up with some new colours and prints on the couch. These new linen throw pillows were just added to the collection over at Cotton and Flax and we love how simple and fun they are. Every piece is cut, printed and sewn in Los Angeles.
Hoping over to the Cotton and Flax website, we also spotted some outrageously adorable prints on notebooks..

Though Anna Badur calls herself a designer, we see her more as an artist. In her piece Drawn by Nature, the natural movement of the wind is captured on the cloth as the blue pigments are blown across it. From far it reminds us of the richness of shibori dyeing but on closer inspection, it is a whole different kind of beauty.
We can truly say that she is a mixed media artist when looking at her portfolio of work, which includes furniture such as the concrete stool that gives the illusion of a soft texture, wallpapers and even working with ceramics. Some of her work is available in her store too.

Fun fact: MUR is French for ripe. It is also the name for the webshop that we are currently ogling.. Started by a husband and wife duo, MUR lifestyle is the place to go if you are one who loves home goods and kitchen accessories produced by small scale manufacturers, artisans and designers who want to move away from the "disposable culture".
We suggest you stop purchasing items that are temporary and start investing in quality pieces that will stand the test of time and just age beautifully.
MUR lifestyle is the perfect outlet for Danielle and Joel, the brains behind MUR; a way where Danielle's love for design can come together with Joel's business mind. Way to go guys!

We are loving the soft and natural vibes we are getting from the collection by Caroline Z Hurley. It's what home should feel like, quirky but comfortable.
Inspired by a trip to Bali, Caroline turned her paintings into prints on textiles. Her prints are made with a cooperative whose members are expert craftspeople from Guatemala.
Beginning with giving her designs as gifts to friends, her items caught on quickly and she is now selling in more than 100 stores worldwide!
