bringing the outdoors...in.

living in chicago, you get really depressed once winter starts rolling around. maybe not so much before the holiday cheer but i sure as hell get it after. from january to may - bleh. yellow snow and gloom. no thanks! so i've been really calculating in designating decor that helps me to bring a summer, outdoorsy vibe...in. not so sure i'd go full out wallpaper like some of these but i would totally do the ikea curtains and the plethora of jungle plants and landscape murals.

i can't wait to test it out this winter. well, not really...but you know what i mean.

nancybird :: in your home, over your shoulder and in your hand

lusting over the saturation at play here in the new nancybird home and bag collections.

a bit about the label::

nancybird unofficially began back in 2001, with emily using some of the textile prints created in her fine art course to make a small collection of purses and bags. she brought them to a couple of local stores in melbourne known for their support of australian design, and nancybird was born.
