misosouper, a shopping blog

Facing facts:  I’m a bit of a floozy for modern, graphic textiles.  While the furniture in Casa Misosouper is low-slung, low-key mid-century modern, the pillows, upholstery, and fabrics explode in patterns of riotous color.  (Think I’m kidding?  Come over for a visit.)

Which is why I’m so stoked about this coupon code from Amenity Home; with fall20, take a 20% discount off your purchase (excluding the Muir Furniture Collection).  Mix and match windblown, organic pieces like the ginormous floor pillows, stretched hemp prints, and durable table linens, or fall in love with the new Arroyo tabletop collection, gorgeously crafted in chunky walnut.

Here’s what I’d choose:

1.  Birdseye 26×26 Hemp Pillow; 2.  Arroyo Salt and Pepper Block; 3.  Grass 12×20 Pillow; 4.  Trail Placemats; 5.  Woodland Squirrel Blanket; 6.  Cove Duvet Cover.

What room in your home wouldn’t benefit from a puffy floor cushion sewn of turquoise faux bois?

I’ve always loved Showpony’s Etsy shop, and now she’s got her very own space on the web.  My picks?  Besides the hot dog pillows, I choose the cheekily printed vintage purses & totes.  Ladylike, but not precious.

To celebrate, enter helloshowpony at checkout for 15% off your order.

I’m in love with these handmade felt damask pillows; so much so that I just bought two for my own couch.  Get your own (in rainbow colors!) from diffractionfiber.

My mom, a interior designer and antique dealer, has always sworn by Ballard Designs.  Not so much to furnish your whole home–can you imagine a room filled with those godforsaken beskirted tables?–but for accent pieces and furniture that are useful, attractive, and pretty reasonably priced (one of my friends joked that BD was the place to go in Atlanta when you wanted a white couch, which BD sold in 87 different versions).  Then dearly departed Domino Magazine got in on the act, styling some rooms for the BD catalog.  But because I spent a large portion of my early life repudiating anything my mother liked, I never paid attention to poor Ballard Designs.  My loss, because they’re selling some really good stuff.

1.  Porta Luggage Rack–I hate unpacking, but I also hate rifling through a jumbled suitcase on the floor, so this is my perfect solution; 2.  Palm Leaf and Fern Needlepoint Pillows–hand-sewn, for $85; 3.  Marianna Glass Chandelier–Braveheart meets bistro; 4.  Malu Seagrass Square Boxes; 5.  Leather-bound Monogrammed Dictionary–Merriam-Webster in sorbet colors, with your name on it; 6.  Medallion Panel–thick, graphic, cheap; 7.  Horn Mirror–yes, I’m aware of its original provenance, but at this price you can paint it royal blue; 8.  Grovesnor Queen Headboard; 9.  Courbé Storage Ottoman–imagine the possibilities for hide-and-seek; 10.  Burlap Ribbon; 11.  the popular Brady Adjustable Sconce–slide the light and bolt as needed; 12.  Wire Ferris Wheel–just look at it!
