INSPIRATION :: H&M Home, Come to Mama!

August 1, 2013 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

H&M Home in the US - Oaxacaborn.com's picks Within a few minutes of clicking onto the interwebs this morning, I got all the news. Snowden was released into Russia on temporary asylum. The weather in Orlando is going to be hot and muggy forever. And H&M Home is FINALLY available in the US.

If you know me, you know I’d rather by a rug or a set of curtains than a new pair of shoes or jeans. And I’ve been waiting for H&M Home for quite a while. (Actually, I didn’t wait. I had a UK friend buy a duvet cover there and mail it to me.)

Now join me in drooling over all this available-right-here-right-now goodness — just try not to drool on your keyboard. (Clicking on each photo will take you to the product listing on the H&M website).

I exercised a great deal of restraint by only listing a few products. ;) Go ahead, view ALL the H&M Home things!

I think these colorful glossy chairs are fantastic! You can see more of Josie Curran and Barnaby Girling’s home (houseboat) here on Design*Sponge.

Would you ever consider doing something like this to your chairs?

MONDAY’S PRETTY THINGS :: For the Love of White – 7 Bright Interiors

April 22, 2013 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

Sometimes, on Mondays, I need just a little more sunlight, a little bit less clutter on the countertops, a little more music, and a little more coffee.

You too?

Here are seven pretty rooms I’ve had my eye on this past week.

LIFE IN PHOTOS :: Aveline’s Room Tour

March 4, 2013March 4, 2013 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

Happy Monday, everyone! I’m hitting the ground running this morning. My dear sis-in-law arrives in a few days for a week-long vacation, so I’m whipping the house into shape.

As I was tidying Aveline’s room — and doing laundry, and singing along to The Lumineers, and stopping Aveline from throwing away all her broken crayons — I realized I haven’t posted a tour of her room in a long, long time. I was going to wait until I finished the big “Forever Young” typography piece I’m designing, but I’ll just share that later when I’ve finished it.

Here’s her eclectic little room! Aveline's room tour via Oaxacaborn - Huge framed canvas of Paris, bunting, paper lanterns, blankets over chair and doll
Framed canvas of Paris: Ikea || Felt bunting: handmade || Paper lanterns: leftover from my birthday years ago || Sweater: handknit by Auntie Lauren || Heart-shaped glasses: a gift from Bumpa (Grandpa Jim) || Curtains: Ikea || Dresser: Ikea || Doll: Goodbye Blue Monday

NORDIC CHRISTMAS :: Noe på Hjertet’s White-on-white Dinner Party

December 15, 2012December 15, 2012 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

It’s no secret that I’m an admirer of all things Nordic and Scandinavian. I love seeing how broad and diverse the styles within this realm truly are; rustic to modern and every variation in between. Now this one — this one is truly white-on-white!

Thanks to Jorid Kvam, the talented Norwegian blogger and designer of Noe på Hjertet, for sharing these photos of her stunning dinner party.

MONDAY’S PRETTY THINGS :: Toile Dishes

November 5, 2012December 12, 2012 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

How are you this November Monday? I’m enjoying these pretty toile patterns right now — although I do find it odd that both Anthropologie and Target have such a similar interpretation of dip-dyed toile. I saw the former in Anthro this weekend, and they are really lovely in person (I’m partial to the blue-on-blue ones). Target’s version is melamine, but they don’t seem to be currently available online or in stores right now. I wonder if they are just temporarily sold out?

INSPIRATION :: Autumn/Winter 2012 Toast UK House + Home Catalogue

October 8, 2012November 1, 2012 Gina @ Oaxacaborn

We’re still drinking our coffee iced, so these cozy scenes seem like something out of a movie. Some of my family members elsewhere, though, have already had sprinkles of snow and are busy with all the mundane but necessary outdoor chores which accompany winter’s arrival.

I think I’ll stick with my romanticized perspective. ;) Here are my favorite images from Toast‘s Autumn/Winter 2012 collection for House + Home.

I’ll have my picks from the Winter 2012 Women’s lookbook up later this week. Meanwhile, feel free to enjoy my favorite images from past Toast UK catalogues, all linked below.
