I am in love with this...


Modern designs, but one foot firmly in the past - that's the retro-styled artwork by Ingela P Arrhenius. The Swedish illustrator Arrhenius takes inspiration from the 50s and 60s for her cartoon-like images, Ingela often employs cheerful characters, simple shapes, and natural color palettes. Her posters are packed with color and guaranteed to brighten up any room, child's room or not.

Limited editions, but not at a limited edition price. Choose between Bird Tree, Tivoli, Hi Stockholm, or A-Z

Each poster measures 20" x 27" ~ 30$


Meet the Robots. The robots are joining the ferm LIVING family this spring. They are charging their battery and are full of energy! They are making quite an entry as they are so adorable, especially paired with the Robot bedding (soon to be on huset).
Both pillows are 100% organic cotton and they are filled with polyester filling. ~ 32$



Mr. Small and Mr. Large Robot from FermLiving are wonderfully represented on this lovely junior bed set. The set includes an all organic comforter cover and pillow with these cool robots adorning it and green pipping. The bedding comes with a matching bag, perfect for smaller robots and cars that boys like to bring with them everywhere they go or for overnight trips to grandmas.
All organic 100% cotton bedding. Comforter cover measures 39" x 55"
Machine washable. ~ 95$

Domesticity Kills

I hate Mondays!
           
                                                                                                                               
She couldn't remember... was it one teaspoon of arsenic or two? All the baking soda in the world could not mask the scent of her despair. She was suddenly comforted by the knowledge that they were all helpless without her... was the secret ingredient  resentment?  She was suddenly struck with an overwhelming metaphor for her entire existence... if by "happy"  you mean trapped with no means of escape...?... then yes, I'm happy! 
Today was in dire need of a Ctrl + Alt + Delete. #%&@*!!!!! 
I should come with a warning label she thought... "DOSMESTICALLY DISABLED!!!"   
Ahh Happiness!.... Happiness is dreaming about bulldozing the entire house instead of tidying up. Happiness is day dreaming about all the fun stuff you can't do because you're too busy being a mom.
She just couldn't fathom why it was that her kids were louder & messier than a room full of Hell's Angels?!.........
