Lately on Fab

Tonight I'm hopping on plane to go do a project install. I should be packing my bags or cleaning up the house. What am I doing instead? Online shopping. It's not my fault though - there is so much cool home stuff on <a href="http://fab.com/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">Fab</a> right now! I'm dying over those <a href="http://fab.com/sale/21937/product/407032/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">gray lawn chairs</a>. And I've been looking for a big dog bed for Linus to lay on and this greek key pattern in the prettiest pale blue might just do the trick. Won't his pretty silver fur look great against that pale blue? :) Sweet, sweet Linus. I love that boy.<br /><br />Here are some of my other favorites that are available on Fab for the next couple of days.<br /><br /><center></center><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo FAB1.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/FAB1.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fab.com/browse/pillows-throws/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">1</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/pillows-throws/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">2</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/furniture/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">3</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/furniture/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">4</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/rugs/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">5</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/rugs/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">6</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/rugs/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">7</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo FAB2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/FAB2.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fab.com/department/pets/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">8</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/department/pets/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">9</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/department/art/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">10</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/department/art/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">11</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/furniture/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">12</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/furniture/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">13</a>  //  <a href="http://fab.com/browse/furniture/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">14</a></div><br />In case you haven't shopped <a href="http://fab.com/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">Fab</a> before, they sell a really beautifully curated collection of home, tech and fashion products, most of them for short periods of time and at really great reduced prices. And as a little personal side note - I had to change an order address once at the very last minute and the customer service people at <a href="http://fab.com/?utm_campaign=littlegreen&utm_source=mediakix&utm_type=p&utm_medium=blog&ltb=on" target="_blank">Fab</a> were completely <i>amazing</i> to work with. So friendly, so competent. :) These people really know how to run a great business, start to finish.<br /><br /><i style="background-color: white; color: #7f7f7f; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.25px;">This post was brought to you by Fab.com.

Nook Bunk

I'm helping a friend transition her young daughter's room into a shared bedroom (she's pregnant with another little girl due this summer). We're using a carpenter to build in a cute bunk bed situation. Wouldn't something like this be adorable?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo 1999b90b9474f2228e5a654f8f348acd.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/1999b90b9474f2228e5a654f8f348acd.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="http://pinterest.com/jennykomenda/kiddies/" target="_blank">via</a></i></div><br />Also, check out the vintage lucite rocker we bought last week for the same project. There's a pretty good chance it won't easily fit in the room with the dresser we're likely going to use, but seriously. How could we pass this up? If it doesn't fit, I will gladly keep the bill and find a spot in our house!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_3838.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_3838.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div>

Weekend Give Away: 5 Gift Certificates to Poppin!

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's the weekend! I really love short weeks like this one. I feel like I still have some energy left to actually do something productive over the weekend.</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">We never quite </span>conquered<span style="font-family: inherit;"> spring cleaning earlier this year, so I'm going to attempt to do a little (or a lot of) organizing and cleaning the next couple of days. I just got a bunch of new desk accessories from <a href="http://www.poppin.com/?utm_source=littlegreennotebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=may" target="_blank">Poppin</a>, so I decided to kick things off in my office.

Let me tell you, I LOVE these pens. They are modern and gorgeous (so eye catching - people always ask me about the pens when I whip one out of my bag) and, most importantly, they write beautifully!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo pDSC_0410.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/pDSC_0410.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I took a peek at <a href="http://www.poppin.com/?utm_source=littlegreennotebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=may" target="_blank">Poppin's mission statement</a>, because their products are so well designed I just knew that they would have something interesting to say.

I chose a deep <a href="http://www.poppin.com/Shop-By-Color/Orange/?utm_source=littlegreennotebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=may" target="_blank">red-orange color</a> that feels very Hermes-y to me.

Faux Stone DIY Idea

<a href="http://www.abchome.com/" target="_blank">ABC</a> was a having a sale recently so I popped over to see what they had. I fell in LOVE with this coffee table from afar. The pattern on the tabletop is so pretty and so, so DIY-able (using <a href="http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2013/04/diy-faux-malachite.html" target="_blank">these instructions</a> and neutral paint colors).<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_3206.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_3206.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt=" photo DSC_0447.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album4/DSC_0447.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_3204-1.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/IMG_3204-1.jpg" /></div><br />Could be so good, right? Plus, if you use <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80135019/#/60135020" target="_blank">this IKEA coffee table</a> as the base (and spray the legs gold <a href="http://ohhappyday.com/2011/06/my-san-francisco-apartment-living-room/" target="_blank">like Jordan did below</a>), you'd save yourself approximately $3700. And if you're like me, you'd tell yourself that you basically just earned thirty-seven-huno and that it's time to go shopping (<a href="http://bit.ly/13ZV2FP" target="_blank">starting with these</a>). Sweet! ;)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo OhhappydayKlubbohackMG_0779.png" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Album%205/OhhappydayKlubbohackMG_0779.png" /></div>
