There is a new bedding company in town in case you haven’t heard! Parachute is a home essentials brand based in Venice Beach. They’re all about simple, beautiful designs constructed out of luxurious and high quality materials. Parachute is a direct-to-consumer business. By partnering directly with the best manufacturers in Europe, they’re able to offer superior products at a lower cost.

Buying a lot of small knick knacks is like ordering a lot of small appetizers at a restaurant in lieu of an entree = it seems easier and cheaper but ultimately you end up spending more and walk away less satisfied. I love tiny accessories, as you know. Like super tiny. I even once framed some handmade dollhouse fly swatters – which were each only 1 inch high. But if you ONLY have small things on your shelves they lose their individual aesthetic value and your whole space can look VERY cluttered.

Transforming high quality vintage pieces from dated and ugly to modern and beautiful (like this table) is extremely satisfying. I’ve been doing this since I was 7 years old when I refinished my first desk by painting it a blush pink. I subsequently entered it into the county 4-H fair where I’m pretty sure I must have won the purple ribbon for cutest, most fashion forward desk ever.

Hey guys, Brady here! I’m back and this time it’s all about grey. The perfect grey for my living room that is. When I first moved into my space I knew that I wanted to do something dark, moody, masculine, and slightly modern. I also knew that I had loads of natural light, as you can see from the pic below. It is a 1920’s Spanish style with high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, and lots of charm and original character, so I thought that it would be the perfect opportunity to go dark.
