Let's take a look!

We're thrilled to share with you a sneak peek of Tiffanie Turner's new book (coming out August 22nd), "The Fine Art of Paper Flowers: A Guide to Making Beautiful and Lifelike Botanicals" with Ten Speed Press (Crown Publishing) and Penguin Random House. We have been waited literally with bated breath for this book as we've watched Tiffanie's work bloom from when we first posted about her work here on the blog almost five years ago to today, now with a published book! So exciting! I think we may even have the claim of writing about her work first! We were also honoured Tiffanie asked us to review the book in advance and have a blurb from us published inside it. And we're excited to host a giveaway on our Instagram (details below):

We're excited to see Casa Cubista's new Fall/Winter '17 collection pop into our inbox this week. Made in Portugal with a contemporary perspective and a carefully curated eye, founders, Arren Williams and David Pimentel work closely with traditional craftspeople and small family-owned makers to create their latest collection. The new collection includes 12 new vintage-inspired colours in addition to their classic black and blue. Let's take a look!

Earlier this past spring we happened upon this triangle display shelf via Instagram from Moorea Seal in Seattle and were inspired that it was handmade. Ashley Miller (who works there) created it as a display shelf for the shop and so we asked these two ladies if they would be interested in sharing how it was made as a DIY for Poppytalk.The result is a stunning shelf perfect for not only retail, but at home too. We thought we'd bring it back for #throwbackthursday! Check it out below

There's something to be said about quiet hues. And this refurbished 19th century flat located in Stockholm, Sweden is a beautiful example. A completely renovated and stylish turn of the century apartment with beautiful time-sensitive details such as deep and mirrored window niches, high ceilings and large windows. The white walls create a base for any palette, but we love this neutral mix of natural woods, creams, greys and brass accessories. All photos via Fantastic Frank. Let's take a look.

Always a love/hate relationship with Back to School. Summer is almost ending, yet it's always fun to get new things and a fresh start for a new school year. Here's a few things to kickstart that back to school season.

3. LISABO desk | IKEA

What's at your bedside? I've always been one to enjoy the styling of that little vignette, the sweet spot that is, bedside. From freshly picked roses, a stack of books, to the perfect lamp or sconce, here's a few vignettes that have crossed our radar lately.

Love this illustrated mural idea by Mardrid artist, Angela Leon. Leon created this fun piece back in 2010 which tells us she was onto something back then and way ahead of her time. The banana leaves and flora straight out of a current colouring book. Inspiration for a fun weekend project perhaps?

Today we're thrilled to share a project from Jodie Hurt, a mixed-media artist and middle school art educator who we've been following online for years. Inspired by Jodie's instagram which is always filled with her beautiful art, we asked if she'd be interested in sharing a DIY with our readers. So she sent over this wonderful project working with monoprinting without a press which we think you'll love (the possibilities are endless). Click below for her how-to.

IKEA launched their 2018 catalogue online today (in the US) and we took a little sneak peek.

The theme this year is "Make room for life" which is about looking beyond the walls of your home and not letting them determine what you want it to be. It prompts you to ask yourself what it is you want more room for in your life - whether it be friends and family, nature, relaxation, or maybe a bit extra room to do nothing at all. We can totally relate. So we browsed through and found 10 decorating tips that can make room for life. Let's take a look!

Painting directly on location and from her studio deep in the woods of the Black Mountains, we're in love with North Carolina's, Danna Ray's paintings. We recently found her feed on instagram and have been totally pulled into her world of changing landscapes and muted natural hues of blues, greens and greys.

Along with original paintings, she also sells prints in her Etsy shop. Let's take a look!

Summer is definitely in full swing here on the west coast and the heat has us in the mood for eating al fresco and dreaming of pass through window lunches. We've rounded up ten of some definite crushworthy examples today. Let's take a look!

1. East Coast Cottage

We love the look of rattan for interiors right now. This durable mesh is not only for the outdoors (as it has been prominent as of late), but we're seeing it pop up again inside, in everything from headboards to cabinets.

Did you know caning material is actually quite reasonably priced and relatively easy to find? We've been inspired to make something ourselves and even more so after we came across this DIY project we spotted recently on Livet Hemma (above). We love what stylist Pella Hedeby created using three IVAR side unit ends and a few feet of caning mesh (also known as machine cane).

I recently inherited this art deco makeup vanity (and a sort of unmatching/painted matching chest of drawers) from an Aunt who passed last fall, which is a bit of a bittersweet story. She was the loveliest of ladies (who never had any children of her own), but was much loved by all of her nieces and nephews. Last fall she died of breast cancer which had metastasized to different areas of her body. Her name was Auntie Betty, and she has left a big hole in all of our hearts.

We're kicking off this week with a recently launched hotel (again, in Paris), called, Hotel Bienvenue. We just can't seem to get enough of the art deco-style these days, and this one doesn't disappoint. Designed by Studio Chloé Negr, the Hotel Bienvenue boasts pastel themed rooms in monochromatic style with pops of colours added in for surprise. Which coloured room would you stay in? Let's take a look.
