X Marks the Spot
Sleep tight in this 100-percent cotton sateen bedding that gets softer and cozier with each wash. Showcasing an artist-designed pattern, custom-printed by the fabric experts at Spoonflower, this eco-friendly duvet cover features clever concealed ties in each corner to prevent shifting and a discreet hidden zipper so inserting your comforter is a snap. The pattern is also printed on both sides of the cover so it's visible even when turned down.
Green Up Your Thumb
These painterly planters feature ceramic construction and a hand-applied speckled pattern so each pot is unique. Designed as a watertight cachepot, rather than for use as the planting pot itself, these planters are a trendy way to disguise a greenhouse plastic pot while preventing any drainage from damaging your furniture.
Add Graphic Style Underfoot
Available in 10 sizes, this 100-percent wool rug is hand tufted for maximum softness with a 3/4"-thick pile that'll feel great under bare feet. The rug's large tile-like design will look right at home in a variety of room styles — from rustic to globe-trotting to modern.
