Shades of Green at Pulp Home

Shopping Guide, , ,

After seeing these Luck Be a Lady Lamps arrive in our warehouse, I’ve been a little obsessed with shades of green in our interiors! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite green goods from the shop today…

 

ONE: Luck Be a Lady Lamp // TWO: Acrylic Box with Teal Agate // THREE: Green Mojave Embroidered Pillow // FOUR: Green Flat Beaded Asian Brush // FIVE: Whitney Citron Bowl

 

But, seriously, how good is that lamp?? Carolina and I are currently fighting over who gets to use them in our homes… that is, unless you scoop up our stock first! 

Holiday Gift Guide 2013: For Kids & Baby

Shopping Guide, , , , ,

Holiday shopping can be a lot of fun (especially when it’s for yourself!) but, let’s face it, buying gifts for kids and babies is pretty much the best. The thought of watching the little ones light up as they tear open their packages can’t help but warm your heart – even if they end up just playing with the bows and empty boxes. Here are my top holiday gift picks for the kids and babies.

1. Cashmere Hoodie Sweater  //  2. Ursa Major Constellation – The Great Bear Pillow  // 3. Organic Cotton Striped Leggings  //  4. A Teepee to Call Your Own  //  5. The Fantastic Fox Backpack  //  6. Little Darlings Prints  //  7. Bloom Special Edition Chrome Baby Chair  //  8. Polar Bear Hat //  9. Sand Suede Moccasin  //  10. Whirl Scooter

Now get the gifts!

1. Monitaly Hooded Parka  //  2. Kiwi Wooden Shoe Shine Care Kit Valet  //  3. Sabine Brass Desk Lamp  //  4. Cashmere Scarf in Tangelo  //  5. The Monocle Guide to Better Living  //  6. Cristo Hide Pouf  //  7. Catbird Travel Candles  //  8. Cartolina iPhone case – Menswear //  9. Cigar Box Speakers  //  10. Happy Socks in Purple Faded Diamond

Project Process: #QueenAnneCraftsman Master Bedroom Wallpaper

Pulp Design Work, , , ,

We’re back with more updates on the installation progress of our #QueenAnneCraftsman project in Seattle! This time, we’re sharing some snapshots of the wallpaper that Pulp Design Studios designers chose for our clients’ Master Bedroom. A daring but decidedly elegant choice!

Pulp Design Studios decided on a Vivienne Westwood pattern to adorn not just the walls but the ceiling, as well! We love that our clients trust our creativity and integrity enough to go this bold and we know it’s laying the groundwork for the full expression of our clients’ individuality.

While still in progress, it’s always exciting to see projects begin to come together. We can’t wait to show you the fully curated vision of this home once completed with all the layered design elements.

Keep following along on the progress of this project on our Instagram & here on Hello, Splendor by searching hashtag: #QueenAnneCraftsman.

New Pulp Home Product: Agate Collection

News + Announcements, , , ,

If there is one seriously emerging trend in the design world right now, it’s agate. And we’re happy to say that we’re staying on top of things by introducing a new collection of agate pieces on Pulp Home. Organic but graphic, primitive yet sophisticated, the sliced agate pieces (either artistically displayed on acrylic stands or adorning lacquered and acrylic boxes) are an impeccable way to introduce natural form beauty with contemporary, jewel-toned luxe. And they make for solidly stylish gifts, of course.

Bedroom Installation: #PonderTransitional

Pulp Design Work, , ,

While we were in the midst of a whole-home installation at our Pulp Design Studios #PonderTransitional project, we snapped a few shots of the bedroom progress… We simply love how this room is earthy and soothing with unexpected pops of blue and plum.

 

We’ve since completed this project and will be photographing it next year after all the holiday madness. But, in the meantime…

 

How gorgeous are the pillows in this project? That embroidered snake pillow from our shop is just stunning in person. And, we love how the the chain link embroidered pillow add a bit of subtly graphic pattern to the bed.

 

We can’t wait to share more…

Pulp Addiction: Thanksgiving Food & Drink

Entertaining + Home Living, , , , , , ,

 

As we count down the last few days before Thanksgiving, the Pulp Design Studios‘ team is gearing up for some cozy downtime with family and friends. And, of course, sharing in some of our favorite foods (and a cocktail… or two). We thought we’d all share some of our favorite noshes, nibbles, and nips alongside some favorite stylish serving accessories. And style is certainly something we’re all grateful for around here!

 

KIMBRA | Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake // Footed Cake Platter with Dome

CAROLINA | Cream of Fennel Soup // Modern Soup Tureen

BETH | Boulevardier Cocktail // Edgar Brass Cube Stopper Decanter (Perfect for your favorite bourbon. Beth’s is Bulleit 10 Year!)

TRACY | Lemon Kale Salad Recipe with Parmesan, Apples and Pine Nuts // L’Objet Hollow Braid Serving Set

HEATHER | Slow-Roasted Sweet Onions with “Licorice” Powder // Donna Karan Lenox Devoré Oval Platter

BRADFORD | Sweet, Spicy & Salty Candied Nut Mix // Stockholm Polished Brass Bowls

New Pulp Home Product: Barware

Entertaining + Home Living, , , , , ,

It’s no secret that we like ourselves a smart cocktail around Pulp Design Studios. (After the workday is done, mind you.) Needless to say, we are over the moon with the new line of barware that we’ve gotten in at Pulp Home! Gorgeous modern decanters that make for an elegant upgrade in your home or a perfect hostess gift just in time for holiday entertaining.

While these beauties are bound to spruce up the home bar and make your spirits bright, there are so many ways you could use these throughout the house. For a luxe spa experience, these would make a perfectly polished addition in the bathroom for holding favorite bath salts or gels. Use them to contain various cooking oils and vinegars and ditch the dull from the kitchen counter. Imagine juice or maple syrup being dispensed from these? Talk about taking Christmas Morning breakfast up a notch! Even the drudgery of laundry could be elevated if you were dispensing your laundry detergent and fabric softener from a decanter. And let’s not forget the milk to go with Santa’s cookies! With such a thoughtfully stylish display you may just get a little something extra under the tree.

See what I mean? Endless possibilities! And all great gift-giving ideas. Don’t you think? I knew you would! Cheers!

Lots of great patterns and color for our bold client here! We’ve struck a balance with over-the-top, yet grounded and serene… And, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Lots more to come on this fabulous project!
