Remember the gorgeous dresser I’ve been coveting forever? Thanks to my husband this Christmas, it’s now mine, all mine! For the last couple weeks I’ve been working to create the perfect dresser-top mise-en-scene of personal effects, photos, and knick-knacks. To finish it off, I found this pretty little jewelry stand to organize and display my favorite necklaces and bangles. Loving it!
Textile designer Virginia Johnson has just released a new bedding collection featuring her colorful and whimsical illustrations. Because this quilt is block-printed by hand, every one is unique. I can’t wait to wake up to little yellow ducklings marching across the foot of the bed.
It’s time to move up in the world of bedroom furniture. After years of sleeping in the company of mismatched Ikea bedside tables, a West Elm dresser, and a Crate & Barrel bed, I’m ready to splurge. The Grove Collection in walnut from Room & Board is gorgeous, and I want it, bad.
Located in the scenic town of Point Reyes Station, California, Coyuchi has been producing organic cotton linens since 1991. Point Reyes Station is renowned for it’s progressive organic farming, weekly farmer’s market visited by HRH Prince Charles himself as well as the home of the foodie’s favorite destination for cheese, Cowgirl Creamery.
Not only do Point Reyes locals love Coyuchi, many luxury hotels feature the 100% organic bedding. You’ll find the fair trade linens at hotels and resorts including: the Post Ranch Inn, Hana Maui Hotel, Terra Resorts, Colony Hotel and Hotel Triton. The Fairmont in San Francisco and Washington DC feature Coyuchi in their Lexus Hybrid Living Suites.
Coyuchi uses only 100% certified organic cotton in their linens and has been recognized with the United Nations Second Annual Fashion Industry Award for Environmental Excellence. Every fiber of cotton is produced in accordance set forth by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM). Organic cotton is grown rotationally and alongside maize, sesame, sorghum and chiles intercropped with nitrogen-fixing plants such as lentils and chickpeas. Some of these plates serve as barriers and repel pests.
If you happen to be around Point Reyes tonight, stop by the Coyuchi store to learn more about their sustainable business and fair trade business and enjoy some champagne and organic hors d’oeuvres!

A bookshelf, with a light that turns off when the book you were reading is laid on top. Genius, just like the mother of your children.
(Maybe if you’re nice, she’ll hook up your side of the bed for Father’s Day.)
