By now you all should know I have a bit of a crush on Nate Berkus. I love his work, and he is very easy on the eye. So is his collection for American fabric company Calico

Nate Berkus Fabric Collection for Calico

The Nate Berkus Fabric Collection is inspired by Nate’s many travels and his own life.

“Your home should tell your story. Memories framed on a wall. What you love within easy reach. Fabric is one of the best ways I know to layer your rooms with the color and patterns you love most. Wether one yard for a pillow or ten for a chair, let the pattern you love be what you live with” – Nate

Calico is organising a contest on facebook where you can win his book The Things That Matter. I suggest you join, but if you don’t win, you can always buy the book in the Homevoyeurs Webshop!

Pillows of your pet


Yep, you read it right, a pillow OF your pet…I am not sure what to think of these custom pillows by Borderpress. Some look cute, some downright creepy. But it’s like with stuffing your beloved Fifi after she dies. Some people take great comfort in it. Personally, after our little Lola moves on the greener pastures, I’d rather not be reminded of her passing by seeing her stare back at me from the sofa. Then again.. I would keep a framed photograph of her, so why not a pillow.. I guess it’s each one his own taste. From a decorating stand point I like them!
