It’s nice when the major retailers start selling renewable products:

“An eco-friendlier bath. Wrap up in a silky blend of 65% bamboo and 35% combed Egyptian cotton. Bamboo yarn absorbs faster than cotton, is softer than cotton, and is naturally antibacterial for hygienic daily use. Not to mention bamboo is grown in a pesticide-free environment.”

•Wide end hem border
•Made with soft, highly absorbent (600 grams), pre-shrunk yarns
•65% bamboo, 35% Egyptian cotton
•Machine wash warm, tumble-dry low
•Imported

This throw blanket would add that certain something to your bedroom. If you need that kind of thing. Also, it’s available in tons of different colors and stitchings and custom made to your specifications.

“Do you want a different blanket? Something unlike anything you’ve seen before?

We have a suggestion: FOLD blankets. They’re different. Bold. Colorful. Rare — you won’t find these at Target and never at Pottery Barn.

FOLD’s fluid geometric designs could only be produced by carefully hand-piecing the fabrics. Linda uses 100% wool flannel, and the blankets are great for year-round use.”

Want one of a kind home furnishings? If you don’t mind paying premium, you will definitely want to peruse the wares offered by Wright 20, an online gallery and consignment house.

Looking for a pillow or two? These pillows have just the right amount of color, and I like the way it just slightly wraps around the corner. Made of 100% wool felt.

I stayed with some friends recently while in NYC and I didn’t realize how pathetically wimpy my towels were until I used theirs. They’re thick and absorbent and what a towel should be. And they’re on sale at Bloomingdales.

Classic Missoni striped knit throw made of 100% wool. I’ve often found that it’s difficult to not match Missoni. It’s almost chameleonic.

100% wool
Size: 56″ x 69″
Color: red/fuschia/blue/yellow/brown/orange
Dry clean only

If Mies Van Der Rohe were going to the beach, what would he bring to lounge on? I think it would be this beach towel.

I know this is not “season appropriate” but it’s on sale and maybe some of you are planning a nice little holiday trip to a sunny beach somewhere.

Light Blue and Chocolate are one of the many pleasant color combinations, and it’s certainly done right in this graphic pillow by Inhabit. The fabric is Retrosuede, which is easier to clean but still feels like suede. With several size options, it may be just what your sofa or bed needs…

These pillows are quite possibly the perfect thing to spruce up your home . You’re bound to find a pattern and color you like, because they’re available in all sorts of combinations- much more than the small sample that I’ve posted above (my favorite is the silhouette one). And, if you’re not so fond of the Thomas Paul designs, there’s gads more of other irresistable modernish pillows on 2modern’s site.

“Exclusive patterns and colors are hand silk screened by master printers using centuries-old techniques. Colors are custom mixed by hand for each printing.”

(pillows are organized by color, then pattern)

This Thomas Paul Baroque pillow is the perfect thing for today, as it seems I’m only posting black and white stuff. 100% silk twill and filled with a high quality poly insert, this 18″ pillow “stands up to the rigors of being lounged upon”. The case zips off via a hidden zipper for easy cleaning.

(it’s not $70.00 like all the other pillows! hurray.)

I have a knack for picking pillows that cost around $75.00. It seems to be the popular price for a comfy hand silk screened (cotton muslin case) pillow. I’m fond of bringing the outdoors in, and this pillow would do just that.

Feather and down insert. Zippered closure.

This is my new favorite pillow. 100% linen (super-soft) with hidden zipper for easy removal/cleaning.

Available in Celedon or Magenta.

18″x18″

The Fold bedding offers sizes for platform and regular boxspring beds and comes in a multitude of color and stitching options.

Quite fun, no?

“These cotton canvas covers have piped edges and are plumped with 95% feather, 5% down, 200-thread-count inserts. Dry-clean. Zippered covers are imported; inserts made in USA.”

diamond: available in periwinkle, chocolate, or pink

hexagon: periwinkle, chocolate, pink

The graphics on these pillows are so very pleasant. I highly encourage you to take a look at all four designs (one for each season) as well as the many background colors that are available to choose from.

Materials: 100% imported linen. Hand silk-screened. Feather and down fill. Zipper enclosure.
