So, clearly I have baby and kiddos on the brain.  And as I continue to await Baby #2’s arrival, I’ve become slightly obsessed with redecorating Keira’s nursery.  Keira & Baby #2 will be sharing a room, so I have the perfect excuse to change things around (even though Baby will be in our bedroom for the first couple of months).

First it was Rag Dolls, and now, I can’t get enough of these whimsical pillows. They’re all over Etsy (and I love supporting all my Etsy peeps), but even some of our bigger box friends have some adorable options.

Here’s a round-up of my top 10 picks…

10 Whimsical Cushions for Kiddos || HOMErandRuth.com
1. Stuffed Cat – Dancing in the Rains (Etsy) | 2. Pink Cat Face – Clairey Lou Creations (Etsy) | 3. Unicorn – The Fox in the Attic (Etsy) | 4. Happy Cloud – The Land of Nod | 5. Pink House – Plumed (Esty) | 6. Lady Lamb – Anthropologie | 7. Yellow Hippo – Levchenko Dolls (Etsy) | 8. Yellow Cat Face – Sleepy King (Etsy) | 9. Whale – Big Stuffed (Etsy) | 10. Apple – Anthropologie

Aren’t these fun!  Which one is your favorite?

Ciao for Now,

By now we all know that wallpaper has made a major comeback.  Now it’s time to move beyond the basic and safe and embrace the graphic, bold and perhaps a little eccentric.

Here are 25 examples of wallpaper that don’t hold back, and make a purely chic statement.

Call me trendy (lol), but I love coming across details that cross over from interior design to fashion.  Today it’s all about the bumble bee.  If you’re like me, you’re terrified of the little buggers (and will scream at the sight), but that doesn’t mean you can’t love them as a style detail.

For those of you with kiddos, you’ve probably already discovered one of my favorite sites, The Land of Nod.  But even if you don’t have kids, you should definitely check them out.  Their pieces are amazing… playful enough for kids, but chic enough for us grown-ups.

Here are 5 finds that I’m obsessed with right now.

I mean, seriously, how chic are these pieces? Do you have a favorite?

P.S. All of their furniture is 15% off thru Monday, so if you have your eye on a piece, I suggest you swoop it up quickly!

Ciao for Now,

Happy New Year! Okay, I know I’m a little late, but, for most of us, today is “back to reality” day.  So, I thought I’d provide some ‘golden nuggets’ to brighten your day.

By now, you all know about my obsession with gold (here, here and here are just a few examples), and then there’s my love of geometric decor… put those together and you have items that I’m absolutely obsessed with.

Here are 5 picks I have my eye on.
