Headboards

I've been wanting to get a headboard for our bed for a really long time. Since we have a three day weekend coming up, I'm hoping to find some time to go shopping. I've been collecting pictures on my Pinterest board for inspiration. Now I need to decided between a tufted headboard or one with nail heads, I love them both! Here are a few of my favorites.

I love this tufted headboard from Home Depot and I love the price

This last week Nate Berkus announced that he is doing a home collection with Target. I'm thrilled! Since we are losing Nate on television, I think it's so wrong his show is being cancelled, it's great to know he's not going too far. His 150 piece home collection will debut in October. I can't wait!!

Here's a few of the items, I'm excited to see more in the future.

Color of the Year 2012: Tangerine Tango

Pantone has selected Tangerine Tango as the color of the year for 2012 and I couldn't be more excited. The color of the year for 2011 was Honeysuckle Pink, I blogged about it here. This last year, I've really been into Orange and it's good to know there will be a lot more of it in the upcoming year. Jeff will be happy because Orange is one of his favorite colors.

Here's the description of the color of the year from the Pantone website.

Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.

Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it. Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”

How fun would it to be to work at Pantone and help decide the color of the year?

Here are are some examples of Tangerine Tango.

FLOR Carpet Tiles

Last year when Jeff and I were thinking about what kind of rug to get for our new apartment, we considered getting FLOR carpet tiles. I wasn't sure at first because carpet tiles remind me of a boring office and I've spent way too many hours in boring offices and I didn't want to feel that way at home.

As I did more research, I realized how great carpet tiles are. First of all, they are made from renewable and recycled materials. Second, they look pretty easy to install and if one gets dirty, you just replace that tile. Third, they come in great colors and textures.

If you have watched the new show Home By Novogratz on HGTV, you may have noticed they used carpet tiles in a couple of the episodes. Anyway, Jeff and I ended up renting an apartment that has carpeted floors and carpet tiles wouldn't work for us, but I definitely want to keep them in mind for our next place. There are only a few FLOR stores in the United States, but you can order them online. Also, I noticed that CB2 started selling FLOR carpet tiles. Here are some pictures I liked.

Bring on the Green

The last few days here in Portland have been absolutely beautiful. I think summer is almost here! Everything is so green and beautiful. To celebrate the beautiful weather, here are some green photos I found to bring on the green.
