step into sustainable | Upcycled denim

6/26/2019

0 Comments

 
Now more than ever, it is so important to be taking mindful steps towards sustainable living. Upcycling is essential to minimize environmental impact and it decreases the amount of waste that goes into landfills. With an all new collection from The Beach People, these 100% upcycled denim pieces will add a light and airy feel to your home while also taking a crucial step towards sustainability. ​
Picture
Each Denim Upcycled piece from The Beach People is handmade by a father and daughter company out of Central America. These high quality textiles are made from 100% sustainable eco-cotton yarn after the factory collects pre-consumer industrial waste from textile mills. These scraps are ground back into fibre and spins them to fabricate new yarns, as well as woven and knit fabrics.

ABOUT THE FACTORY

Picture
With a manufacturing process that is chemical-free, dye free and uses minimal water and energy, they refrain from using synthetic fibres, meaning all of their products are 100% natural and biodegradable 

Their production is based on eliminating the concept of waste, even their own waste from their upcycling process is later donated to coffee-growers to use as compost to grow specialty coffee in the highlands of Guatemala.
Not only is the final product high quality and amazing to look at, it’s luxuriously soft to touch and oozes texture and detail. We can’t wait for you to try it for yourself… ​

CUSHIONS

Made from 100% upcycled denim material with an insert made from recycled plastic bottle tops, these cushions are as sustainable as it is chic. Luxurious and oh-so soft,  you’ll want it on your lounge or bed all year round.

trend i'm loving | All Things woven and Cane

There’s one trend I can't get enough of, all things woven and cane. This is one of those instances when trends in fashion and interiors really collide.

The touch of this natural texture adds so much dimension and interest to an outfit or space. It’s these types of elements that make neutral spaces feeling cozy and not sterile. 

In fashion, we’re seeing these textures in hats, espadrilles, belts, jewelry and bags.

And in similar style, we’re seeing the same thing in interior design. From lighting, rugs, chairs, casegoods, and accessories - these natural elements are stealing the show. And I’m totally on board with it.

Indoor PLants 101 + Plant Lady Profile

5/7/2019

2 Comments

 
A downtown loft tour with our very own, Reagan Gibson. This plant lady is sharing the 4-1-1 on keeping indoor plants alive. 
Picture
I was so excited when Macy asked me to do a post on house plant care and what specific plants I recommend! I always try to give each of my plants all the TLC that they need, but letting them be the subject to an in-home shoot to show them off really reminded me how rewarding it can be to get these botanical beauties in your home and have them thriving. A lot of questions and comments I get from friends are them generally feeling like they don’t know where to start with houseplants and they’re so afraid that they’ll die so quickly. There are so many house plants that are low maintenance and are nearly indestructible, so the best way to get started is to do just that — start! Here are a few house plants that I think are great ‘starter’ plants and will have you wanting to fill your home immediately. ​

Devil’s Ivy (Pothos Vines)

I cannot recommend Pothos vines enough! These vines are so easy to maintain and can thrive in pretty much any lighting condition and water schedule. However resilient, too much sun can cause their leaves to yellow and ‘burn’, so make sure to have these guys away from a window sill. Pothos usually prefer to be completely dry between watering, so I would recommend watering once every week to week and a half, depending on your pot size and soil completely drying out. Pothos also LOVE to stretch their limbs out. If you see that your vines are getting long and a bit tangled, gently hang their limbs on a few tacked pins around their growing space and you’ll have beautiful vines growing around your walls in no time.

If you’re interested in taking it a step further, these vines can also completely grow in water! If you’ve got some extra jars laying around or even a betta fish bowl (completely safe for betta fish!), trim a few clippings from your Pothos plant and clip the leaves also, so that you can submerge the vine nodes down in room temperature water. You will see how quickly these roots will grow just from changing your water out weekly. Keep them in water for as long as you like, or repot them in indoor nutrient rich soil to start your new Pothos vine!

Swiss Cheese Plant (Monstera Deliciosa)

You’ve probably seen the Swiss Cheese Plant’s iconic split leaf all over your social media feed, whether it be the plant itself or a piece of artwork for your walls. If you’ve got the space for a plant to have its own corner in your home, these tropical plants can grow anywhere from 5 - 10 feet tall and leaves can get as big as 12” in diameter! Swiss Cheese plants cannot handle full sun, so place these plants in a part of your home with partial or full shade. Also, some plants tend to collect some dust if they’re kept in their corners for too long. While dust won’t hurt the plant entirely, it is healthier for the plant (and aesthetically pleasing to plant lovers) to gentle wipe their leaves every now and then and mist their leaves with a plant mister. This will assure that not only are your roots getting the water they need, but also your ever growing leaves as well. ​
Picture

Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica)

Probably one of my favorites plants has to be the Rubber Plant or Rubber Tree. This particular variegation produces the most beautiful, lush green leaves and are so easy to maintain. Rubber plants prefer bright, indirect light, so place these near a window with some sheer curtains to assure their leaves to don’t ‘burn’. A watering schedule for Rubber Plants are super easy but does require some attention. During the warm Spring and Summer months, be sure to water every 7 days or so, while in the cooler winter months you can cut back to about once every week and a half to two weeks.  An easy way to check the moisture in the water is to check the top two inches of soil. If you see that it is bone dry, go ahead and water!
Picture
Picture

Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)

The Peace Lily is a very common house plant due to how easy they are to maintain and how quickly they grow! These tropical beauties typically grow on the rainforest floor, so try to mimic those conditions by keeping your soil moist (watering at least once a week) and misting a couple times a week. With enough light, your Peace Lily will produce bright white blooms so place these on a well lit shelf near a window to get some bright, filtered light. It won’t hurt your Peace Lily to skip the misting as much, but definitely keep these in your weekly water schedule to make sure they’re staying happy and healthy!

While I only have a few plants listed here, there are so many wonderful house plants that are great ‘starter’ plants that are so easy to maintain! Pop into your local green house or garden center to have a look around, ask someone about the plants I have listed here, or get their opinion on some great house plants and how to care for them. Save our graphic below for a quick reference guide to these plants, or as a print to hang up in your bedroom!

SPOTTED | MY FAVORITE PIECES IN USE

4/16/2019

0 Comments

 
You spoke, I’m listening. Earlier this year, you guys asked for more interior design inspiration and tips. So I’m coming at you with some of my current favorite products at The Mill.

Every time I source something for a client or for The Mill, I have a vision. I can see it in a home, being styled and being used. I know you’re not in my crazy head, so I’m shedding some light and inspiration for how these products can be styled in your own home.

CONSOLE

This console is one of my favorite pieces. It’s simple but not boring and elevates the design of a space to feel elegant yet relaxed. Consoles are a great way to fill an empty wall without adding too much “visual weight.”

Where could this fit in your home? Living Room, Entryway, Hallway, Office

Mod bread board

I’ve always been a fan of vintage bread boards and you guys are too! They’ve been a best seller since I’ve opened. So now, I’ve stepped it up a bit with a modern twist. The modern charcuterie boards are great for entertaining, gifting and styling your kitchen. 

Where could this fit in your home? Gift it, Entertaining Spread, Kitchen

Moroccan Basket

They’re back for a second season.. because they’re just that good. Every home has a “catch-all” area but what if you could contain the mess? I love seeing these Moroccan Baskets in mudrooms and entryways. They’re practical and can hide the clutter. Bonus - we love to use ours at the beach or as we’re running out the door with our hands full.

Where could this fit in your home? Mudroom, Entryway, Nursery, Guest Bath, Closet
Picture
via decorpad

Vintage Marble Basin

This vintage marble basin is SCREAMING to be in a powder bath as a sink basin. I’m thinking fun light fixtures and spice things up with a patterned wallpaper.

Where could this fit in your home? Powder Bath, Kitchen Counter (fruit bowl), Garden (bird bath)

Antique French Mirror

Unlike a car, vintage mirrors aren’t losing their value. They are timeless and coordinate with almost any style. I’ve used Antique Mirrors in traditional and modern homes because I just can’t get enough.

Where could this fit in your home? Anywhere… Living Room, Dining Room, Bedroom, Bathroom
