Long time DwellStudio friend Victoria of the awesome design blog SF Girl by Bay recently redecorated her modern cottage. This time she went in a cool minimalist direction with shots of crisp black and white pairings throughout. We've always loved Victoria's style - especially when she boldly painted her bedroom black. When Victoria revealed her redo on her blog, we were extra excited to see how she styled our gorgeous Chester sofa in leather. We love how she offset the masculine side of our Chester sofa with a plush white throw, sweet graphic pillows and by placing a charming photograph of garden roses above the sofa. We adore the balance of modern and retro with masculine and feminine touches throughout Victoria's home!

Victoria, we LOVE How You Dwell!

We recently stopped by our in-store boutique at interior design mecca ABC Carpet and Home. We spotted inspiring print pairings on our beds, stunning vintage lighting sourced from Maison Object in Paris and Christiane's son even did a little bed testing. Check out our visit...

We love how decorator Belinda Mitchell used our signature fabrics to add elegant designer details to this young couple's chic bedroom. The mix of smoky hues, rich velvety textures and deep navy blues feels so romantic and intimate, don't you think? The boudoir chair is customized with our super soft Gate fabric in charcoal. On the bed the designer paired our Vintage Blossom pillows with custom designed Gate pillows. Plus we adore the quirky twist on that porcelain horse lamp with our Vintage Blossom fabric on the lamp shade. This bedroom is a beautiful example of mixing and matching classic design elements with modern twists!

We LOVE How You Dwell!

Our handsome and versatile Barnett Side Table was featured in this month's issue of Elle Decor! Interior designers Marie Turner Carson and Shawn Henderson edited a list of their ten favorite bedside tables. Here's what two designers said about Barnett: "Goatskin is so chic," says Carson of the parchment paneling on this French Oak—veneered table. The door, marked with a brass pull, opens to reveal an interior shelf. I love the hexagonal design—it's unique and practical," she adds. The luxe materials remind Henderson of high French style, "along the lines of Jean-Michel Frank." He'd showcase a gorgeous object on top, "like a carved alabaster lamp."

Thank you to Elle Decor, Marie and Shawn for featuring our Barnett Side Table!

This season our design team looked to the innovative designs of artist Josef Albers. His clean geometric compositions and color theories were central elements of the Bauhaus design movement. Our team was especially inspired by Albers' Homage to the Square series and his graphic posters from the 1950s and 60s.

Don't you love all the bold colors and graphic lines of Albers' work? We pulled these images straight from our design team's inspiration files!

His designs even inspired our Frame Rugs and Concentric Square Throws from our new fall collection. Who inspires you? We would love to know!

Have we mentioned our obsession with explorers Martin and Osa Johnson? Well, if you didn't already know, our design team loves the trailblazing spirit of this safari duo! So this season we redesigned the zebra stripe for our new Osa Pillows (named for the explorers!). Our riff on this design classic is bold, geometric and daring. We think this graphic pillow (available in mustard and charcoal) is the perfect way to dress up the sofa. What do you think?
