Wayfair, Way Fabulous

For those of you haven't heard, Wayfair is an online retailer super-super-super store for all things home, from dog beds to dish rags, and high-end furniture. They literally have it all, with over 5,000 brands and nearly 100,000 orders shipped every week. Who doesn't love a place where you can buy a Ikat blanket and a chain saw all at the same time?  With so many choices, this mega-site is almost guaranteed to have something that suits your fancy, but the task can be a bit daunting sifting through thousands of options. We decided to do the dirty work for you and highlighted a few of our favorite standouts. I was too torn about which chainsaw I liked best so I'll leave that pick up to you.

Eco Ikat Blanket in Blue, $115; wayfair.com
Rock the Casbah: This Moroccan-inspired print will liven up any space with Middle Eastern flair, plus, it's made of eco-conscious material. We're particularly fond of the blue.


Rosebud Planter, $87; wayfair.com
Spring Fever: We can't say we're usually the biggest fan of faux stone. We're purists. But these sure look like they could be "found" at a flea market. Would love to see them filled with succulents or ground cover such as small clover ground cover

Light Bench, $790; wayfair.com
Bench Warmer: This bench is truly a conversation piece designed by Pablo Pardo, known for his innovative lighting and furniture combinations. The lucite legs support an acrylic light box top that gives off an incandescent glow. Use it as a seating option or a cocktail table. 

Washed Beige Indoor/Outdoor Rug, from $484; wayfair.com
Tailored Tapestry: We love this multi-function rug. It's super-durable, made for indoor/outdoor use and trimmed in Sunbrella fabric, eliminating all worries of being bleached in the sun. Use it on your porch or in high-traffic areas. The sturdiness makes it very kid-friendly. Rub and scrub all you want and it should withstand the wear and tear.
Doolin Trough Planter, $195; wayfair.com
Rock Star: This trough has an unfinished, rustic sensibility about it that would be lovely in a garden. It's perfect for planting spring lettuces like arugula and butter leaf since the basin is three feet long. 



Bamboo Picture Frame, $19; wayfair.com
Bamboozled: You can never go wrong with bamboo, whether it's accented on a vintage secretary, printed on a pillow (click the links for GDS shop's bamboo offerings!), or trimmed on a frame. We're loving the burnt finish on this one.
