My name is Tamara Komuniecki, and I’m very happy to be guesting over here in Holly’s neck of the blogosphere. It’s actually going to be an honor to read my words on decor8, as I’ve been a fan and reader for so long. I don’t think I’ve ever left a comment, so I’m de-lurking in [...]
Author and designer Betz White contacted me this morning to share her new organic fabric collection just in time for Summer called Family Cottage, and you can learn all about it here on her blog.

Somehow I totally overlooked this but when I wrote about Cicada Studio and designer Michelle Engel Bencsko yesterday I didn’t make the connection that she is actually co-founder of Cloud9 Fabrics alongside business partner Gina Pantastico.

Crisp and modern, these bold graphic patterns are printed on 100% organic cotton sateen so you can feel good about your purchase — pretty, affordable [...]

Like mismatched china patterns, my favorite look in the bedroom is definitely not traditional and matchy-matchy – it’s eclectic all the way and fun-loving! For some, [...]
Big news from eBay today… I was pleased to receive a press release this morning announcing the launch of eBay site World of Good. The products offered on the site have a positive social impact on the people who create them and also on the environment. Many products are fair trade certified, made by impoverished [...]
I know, I know enough Amy Butler already. But I really do fancy her work and now that she’s released eco paper products including gorgeous gift wraps I thought it couldn’t hurt to at least tell you about it… :)
I really like this simple, fresh office set up.
