Wonderful Wood Silhouettes| Oh Dier

What do you get when you mix a lovely local (Twin Cities) husband and wife team, a little wood and a bit of quirkiness? Oh Dier! For a little more on this dynamic duo check out my full article at the Twin Cities Design Collective. Not only do they make wonderful words with wood they also make these beautiful, nature inspired silhouettes. I just love them!

Nature inspired pillows: Products you may see in the showroom

I have been thinking a lot about pillows lately because they are a great way to add personality to a room without spending a lot of money. In many of my rooms the pillows define the space. They add color, texture and shape to an otherwise neutral background. I also change my pillows per season adding more texture in the fall and winter when I am feeling a little extra warmth is needed. I soften up the texture and color in the spring and summer giving the space a more casual and airy tone.
These amazing pillows pictured below are all hand printed and are full of personality. Please visit the links below the pictures to see more styles and design form each artist.

Professional design services, for a cause.

Although my dream for Wind and Willow Home is to have a beautiful and unique brick and mortar showroom, I thought I should share that I am currently offering professional design services and cabinetry drawings in home (if you are in the Twin Cities Metro area) or via email if you don't live locally. For the past 10+ years I have been working with clients to make their remodeling dreams a reality. The purpose of today’s blog post is give you a chance to get friendly professional design service for any room in your home. And by doing so, you will also be helping to start a local small business as all proceeds will go toward the start up costs of the Wind and Willow showroom. In addition to the design service/design drawings, you will also get a special, personal invitation to the official grand opening of Wind and Willow Home including a special discount on any gift or homeware merchandise purchase. For more information on this offer or my design services check out the Kitchen and Bath Design/Custom Cabinetry tab or contact Araya at wind_willowhome@hotmail.com.

This offer is good for 3 years from the date purchased so if you or someone you know are looking to update or remodel a room in your house in the next few years and need professional drawings please consider starting to plan your next project now, with Wind and Willow Home.

Wearable Planters: Products you may see in the showroom

I think these, too cute, wearable planters are so unique. The shapes are modern and the colors are soft yet chic. A great way to show off tiny flowers or unique greens, and of course a conversation starter. Made of 3D printed acrylic (which makes the planters water tight) and hand finished. Show your "green" hanging from your ears, neck or my favorite, brooch. Hand crafted by Colleen Jordan.

Products you may see in the Showroom: Up side down (repost)

Gorgeous plant pendants! I am constantly looking for places I can put plants where they will get light and not get in the way of daily tasks. Hang these anywhere. The soft flowing lines of the pods are the perfect contrast to the sharp silhouette of the air plants themselves. Each pod is made from a gorgeous natural Moroccan sand colored clay and comes with a generous amount of natural hemp cord all ready to hang. Hanging air plant pods™ are hand crafted and can be found at www.michaelmcdowell.com.

Stunning Summer prints for your walls and your wardrobe

I came across Leah Duncan and her whimsical illustrations and couldn't keep this discovery to myself. I am mesmerized by her soft yet contemporary color combination's and in her words, "where folk meets modern" designs. Summer oozes out of her designs as they are inspired by her neighborhood in east Austin, Texas and her Native American heritage. Her inspiring story about how she was determined to make a living doing what she loved makes these works of art stand out. Find out more at LeahDuncan.com.

...and for your wardrobe

If you were a bird: Unique birdhouses

The sun is shining and the birds are chirping. Could they be bragging about their new home? If you were a bird, which birdhouse would you live in? Would you live in a vintage camper, modern globe in the sky or a whimsical chateau? A bright bold work of art or would you be trendy and transitional in the trees? The choices are innumerable. No matter your choice, any bird would be in pure bliss living in one of these unique houses.
