Quirky Knitted Poufs

I never tire of a good knitted pouf and these fruit and veggie knitted poufs by Anne-Claire Petit have such personality! They’re organic, too. Isn’t that clever? I like the apple the best. Second place goes to the lemon only because it might not be easily recognizable for what it is if it’s sitting there by itself. Any of these would look super cute in an eclectic style kid’s room.

Available here.

Goodbye, Bamboo Pink.

01.26.12

You’ve met your end.

 

Yours was the fate of so many cosmetic items before you.

I can’t really say I’m sorry to see you go. As far as lipstick shades go, we just were never that good of a match.

Blogs I Like

01.19.12

I want to share a couple design blogs I’ve been enjoying lately. They both focus on nursery/kids’ rooms, but the inspiration could be applied to any room in the house. Check them out!

The first is Lay Baby Lay. Joni has a great eye for design and puts together the most fantastic mood boards. She also shares the sources for her finds so you can easily recreate the look in your own home.

The second is The Boo and the Boy. Julia assembles really fun roundups of various kids’ room themes like loft beds, built in desks, eclectic decor, etc. The majority of the rooms featured have a Scandinavian design aesthetic – my fave.

Merging

01.04.12

 

If any of you have dug through the archives recently you may have noticed some new posts sprinkled in throughout. That’s because I’ve been keeping a separate family blog for a few years now and I have recently decided to merge the two.

I’ve never really sat down and decided on a future for The Modern Home. We started it to blog about building our house, but didn’t plan beyond that. After giving it some thought I’ve decided I would like it to be not just about our house, but about our home. I’ll still be posting all the details of our house and other design related topics, but I’ll also be sharing more daily life/family stuff. Personal posts make it on this blog every once in a while there will just be more of them. Plus, I like to share things like recipes and random bits on our personal blog. Those will now be included on The Modern Home. So I guess you could call this more of a lifestyle blog or a nesting blog… or both… or something… I don’t know.

Anywho, if you’d like, you can click back through and see all of the old Young Love posts from our personal site. They’re labeled under life for now. I’ll try to be more specific at some point.

Let’s be friends!

11.09.11

Guess what! I made up a little facebook page earlier today! That way if you forget to stop by and check in on us here and instead decide to go hang out on facebook (don’t worry… I’m not hurt by it… okay just a little…) you can still keep up with the happenings at the Modern Home. YAY! Now we can totally be besties and gossip and braid each others hair.

Or something like that.

So click here and go *like* the Modern Home!
