We’re having a BABY!

In celebration of our news, here’s a fantastic set of wood baby rattles.  Hand made in by Earnest Efforts in Oregon, these toys are crafted from fallen timber, finished with non-toxic beeswax and filled with lentils or beans.  They have a wonderful musical tone and are fun even for adults.

Available in six different woods.  Buy yours for $16 over at fawn&forest.

Here’s a wonderfully cute critical analysis of couch cushion forts collected from around the internet:

A brilliant synergy between the weighted foundation and the light tensile structure, this project impressed us with its attenuation of structure and bright interior spaces. The courtyard and formal entry are also well thought-out and provide a clear means of way-finding. Grade A+

Made me chuckle.  See more over at BUILDblog.

When it comes to furniture, nothing excites me more than wood that’s been hand crafted and designed with care.  Done properly, solid wood furniture is at once natural, human and timeless.  Eastvold Furniture, a small, independent shop in Minnesota, definitely has the goods.

Primarily a custom furniture maker, Eastvold also maintains a storefront on Etsy.  All of their pieces are lust worthy, and while they’re a bit pricey they have the quality to back it up.  This furniture will last you a lifetime.

For more details, visit Eastvold Furniture or their Etsy storefront.

There’s just something about felt that makes me all happy.  These pillows by Bholu are no exception.  Vibrant and subdued at the same time, handmade from 100% wool with hand embroidery, they’re perfect.  They’re also on sale at Branch Home.
