Westelm

It was so fun to see a photo of my hanging planter project in the January West Elm catalog yesterday. My plant obsession was just beginning when I made those and happily, both the original plants are still thriving. We're big West Elm fans around here but I didn't realize how big until I started thinking about this post; every room of our house features something from the store.

Officefloor

In my office it's this lamp.

Framedphotos

In the dining room it's this one (the greatest lamp ever whose sister stars on Scandal #namethatscene).

Nobookshelf

In the living room it's our couch that we've had for two years and doesn't even show wear despite Ellerie's best efforts.

Favoritespot

In the breakfast nook it's the chairs (one & two) and coffee table.

Babytourdresser

In Ellerie's room it's the hamper.

Three-plants

And in our bedroom it's the bed frame and the hanging planters of course.

Plantwall

Not to mention my favorite candlestick holders, hand towels and the bear head bottle opener (sadly not available on the website) that I gave Paul for his birthday. (I'm doing some serious wall of shelves re-arranging to start the new year.)

Yep. Huge fans. Plus I love that they give a 10% discount to military. #checkplus

links throughout are affiliate…which makes sense, I'm obsessed & highly recommend.

    How fun to see yourself featured!
    Sadly, I don’t own anything from West Elm — and I’ve never even been to one of their stores! But I just checked their store locations online, and it turns out there’s a store just 16 miles away. I might need to take a field trip… 😉

    How exciting to see your photo in the catalog!
    Also glad that you are pleased with your WE furniture. My son and his wife have had MAJOR problems with their WE sofa–it took months to get it and they’ve only had it about a year and the foam in the cushions is already flat. He is a grad student and she works full time so they really are hardly home–no excuse for such poor quality. My DIL said that the chair they got at Target has been great–much, much better quality than the WE sofa. So buyer beware. WE looks nice, but . . .

    Because of your bear head bottle opener, I did mass searching to find one for my husband as he loves beer, we’re huge Cubs + Bears fans, and really, I’ll get wife of the decade points for hanging it on my wall.
    I found it through Toscano – it’s backordered until February but his birthday is in April so it’s a win/win. 🙂

    I’ve loved this couch since I first saw it on this blog and as I’m about to get new furniture I’ve had it in the back of my mind that this couch would be my purchase. I’m a little bummed to hear a negative review about it but thankful for this comment. My other half is a little hard on furniture-he uses the couch like a bed and it drives me crazy-and this gives me something to think about. I’ve drooled over West Elm’s website many times and loved it the one time I was able to go in one.
