One of the companies to fall under the wheels of the economic collapse last year was Shabby Chic, the company that pioneered the look of homey femininity with an elegant touch that reached its popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
But the company has sprung back to life, thanks to a new investor, and [...]

We like wood furniture. And we like being good to the environment. And we really like the furniture from Environment Furniture.
They use reclaimed wood from southern Brazil, then fashion it into furniture with plank inlays and mosaic effects, using, as they say in a press release, “the wood’s natural character to create a collection that’s [...]

One of the students at the Sheffield School of Interior Design found this very cool, very useful-looking organizer for design projects, in which you can keep paint chips, fabric samples, and work your way through a design project.

Wow, thanks for all the votes on the pretty glass drawer pulls. It appears red is the winner, with green coming in a close second. I’m going to order the reds and then I’ll re-photograph and let you know how it looks.
