Just in time for the Autumn, Zara Home introduces their latest home collection, Botanical Autumn. With a combination of powdered colours, delicate flowers and vintage-inspired embroidery the new Autumn '17 collection turn spaces into a sort of calm and tranquility. Let's take a look!

So are you as excited as we were when we heard The Original is back? The people behind the Impossible Project are launching a new brand, Polaroid Originals, bringing back a classic on Polaroid's 80th anniversary with the new Polaroid OneStep 2 camera.

So we've all heard of shipping container homes, but have you heard of a shipping container pool? Recently I was watching an Instagram story, and @zaniaguy had mentioned hers (see below), down under. So I obviously have been living under a rock and needed to look into this further. I know we're stepping into fall in just a couple of days, but one can dream for next summer, yes?

Field Notes just announced their newest limited edition notebook, (and their 36th), for the fall of 2017, The Dime Novel Edition. An homage to an 1860s American publishing phenomenon.

With the trend of simpler and smaller living spaces for both recreational dwellings and laneway homes,Vancouver-based, The Backcountry Hut Company has been one of the more notable. Their flat-pack kit, inspired by IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad's philosophy of providing affordable well-designed products for all, have been so popular since word got out about their huts 2 years ago, they've been getting calls from Portland to Brooklyn even before they had reached the prototype phase.

The Interior Design Show Vancouver is just around the corner and we thought we'd give you a little close-up of one of our favourite design weekends of the year where designers, artists, makers and design-centric brands come together to showcase their current works, concepts and products at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre West. And this year looks like it's going to be another awesome show! We've created a list of a few special hot spots we recommend and info below on how to get tickets!

Tastemaker extraordinaire and fellow blogger, Victoria Smith (a.k.a. SF Girl) just launched her newly designed (and might we add, gorgeous) blog SF Girl and new online shop over the weekend, Super Marché. Victoria has collaborated with vintage aficionado Elsie Green to curate a collection specifically geared towards that modern bohemian vibe that we have come to know and love from SF Girl.

Scouring the flea markets of Southern France, and hand-picking vintage treasures previously loved, the Super Marché collection is simply exquisite (of course), featuring such gems as gorgeous rattan daybeds to brass bar carts, lighting and more. Let's take a look!

This time of year, there's always so much going on! From the Interior Design Show Vancouver coming later this month to Maison et Objet in Paris this past week; we're being pulled in so many directions! This year's Maison et Objet is pretty colourful—lots of pinks, art deco, and the odd flamingo. Let's take a look! Above photo @ausgiftguide.

Conforto é a palavra de que dita as tendências da @maisonetobjet que acontece em Paris. O sofá "Comfy", com design de @marcantonio parece um ninho suave feito de almofadas. Segundo o designer, "é uma criação ideal. Me lembro que quando criança brincava construindo um esconderijo em um sofá. E acho que todos compartilham dos mesmo desejos".

Cakes. We've been bookmarking cakes on our Pinterest account for years, and they still surprise; there's always a new idea right around the corner and we just keep on finding new ones. We thought we'd round up some of the more popular, with re-pins on some of them well over 200K+! Here's just a few of some of the best cakes we have ever found on Pinterest. Which is your favourite? Above image Food 52. Photo by Bobbie Lin.

The new fall collection of Schoolhouse Electric is launching this month (September 15/17) and we've always been inspired by their catalogue shoots and this new season does not disappoint. Their team headed to Black Butte in Central Oregon where they shot their latest collection in a home that seemed, over time, to become one with the elements with its wind-and-rain weathered wood exterior and old-school build. We loved the window bar shot (above). Right down our alley when it comes to a hosting inside/out. Let's take a look!

With the nights growing darker, we've been looking for some better lighting for our living room. Really loving these vintage-inspired versions from across the pond at Rockett St. George. Heaps of brass and leaves, and another perhaps inspired by the disco ball. Let's take a look.

Loving this Scandinavian/Japanese inspired space we happened upon this week from Livet Hemma. Fumie and Shun have created a delightful home where three people live in a small space. Discover their smart and tasteful solutions in wood and textiles and check out all of their decorating tricks!

by Earl Einarson

Miele has launched a new oven that approaches cooking from a totally new perspective. Now, this type of claim has been used many times over by other releases of differing products, but this time it really seems to fit. The ovens that we’ve become used to and their different approaches to food preparation have all followed well established paths, and many have definitely improved and added to the catalog of approaches, but this new oven from Miele is absolutely cutting new ground.

This post is in partnership with Scotch™ Brand and Post-it®. Scotch™ Brand and Post-it® products work the first time, every time.

With back-to-school just around the corner, I've been wanting to get super-organized for myself and our family this year. To get myself on track I've been looking for a certain style of planner, where I can really keep everything all in one place. You know, a one-stop book, where I can have my schedule, my meal plans, shopping lists and goals all-in-one. And hey, maybe even a place to brainstorm big ideas if the urge should occur. When I was dreaming all of this up I realized, it would be really nice to be able to have a place for my lists that I could write on Post-it Notes for example, then pull them off my planner and run into the store with it and pick up dinner on the way home from work. Are you with me? Or maybe it's my To-Do's that I need to bring with me (without lugging the entire planner on my errand run). And then how fun would it be that I could design all of this and turn it into a printable for our readers? So with the help of Scotch™ Brand, a reliable and consistent part of the back to school toolbox, I'm super-excited to have designed this collection of planner printables just for you! Let's get started!

High Summer

Seattle-based artist, Jenny Vorwaller is installing a new series of her stunning paintings celebrating her garden at the Anthropologie flagship there for the month of September. So if you happen to be in the area, it's definitely a must see.

Getting ready for Back-to-School? We've rounded up a few projects we've posted here in the past that are perfect for back-to-school. Customize your pencils, make an organizer or hey, maybe even your own desk! Click below for the round-up!

1. DIY Table/Desk
