I Spy: Flamingo
With summer on the approach, we’re dreaming of white sandy beaches, the shortest of shorts, and anything associated with sunshine. Maybe that’s why we’re seriously crushing on this bit of flamingo wall art. Inspired, we trolled through eBay for all things “pink bird.” You’ve got your flamingo lawn ornaments, shower curtains, and more flamingo printed fabric than you’d know what to do with.

I Spy: Glass Pendants 
Hanging glass pendants in a kitchen is a great way to shed some light on your counters without having to invest in expensive recessed lighting. The ones seen here are the perfect solution to lighting in an older space with enviably high ceilings. We scoped out eBay for similar finds. Though you’ll have a ton to choose from (see here), we were big fans of the Tom Dixon chrome pendants and these Moravian star pendants.

Philippe Starck Chairs
We think these sturdy Philippe Starck chairs look good in almost any office, home, or kitchen — be it modern or rustic. Luckily, we spotted a few of these chairs on eBay so you can provide your own unique environment for these versatile chairs to live in. The clear factor almost makes them chameleons pieces.

Mix it Up

By Jenny Bahn
Every well-stocked kitchen needs a few things: good knives, quality pans, and a KitchenAid mixer. Whether you’re baking some boxed brownies or whipping up a frothy meringue, you’ll never regret investing in this sturdy piece of equipment. At about $300 a pop, it might seem like a lot to invest in some homemade treats, but consider looking online for a deal — eBay has a variety of options to choose from, both used and new.
Once you’ve got your trusty mixer, head over to The Sprouted Kitchen, one of my favorite websites for healthy recipes and beautiful photographs of how-tos. Their “Everything Cookies” are next on my list of things to bake this fall.

Take a Seat

By Jenny Bahn

When it comes to decorating, I’m into hyper-white minimalism. It’s clean and streamlined, but sometimes a bit, I don’t know, cold. Even the beautiful starkness of the top kitchen is broken up with a few indoor plants. Colored chairs are a great way to introduce warmth into your home decor without compromising a simple and modern aesthetic. I love the vibrant blue industrial chairs featured below — such a great color. Here’s an idea: Buy a few industrial chairs and paint them precisely to your liking. I found these midcentury industrial stools on eBay that could easily be transformed with a bucket of your favorite shade.
