Have you guys seen the amazing Design by Conran collaboration with JC Penney?! It’s so good. I am loving the direction JC Penney is taking, teaming up with some incredible designers. The Beep Table Lamp {which also comes in this floor lamp!}, made it to our Friday Fave this week and the timing couldn’t be better as it just so happens to be on sale right now!

We had the opportunity to feature the Beep Lamp in our Unplugged Den for Sunset Magazine and let’s just say it was so beautiful, I struggled with having to give it back!

Starting next week, we’ll be taking you behind the design process of Apartment 34′s rooms in the Sunset Reimagined Home. I’ve finally worked up the courage to share our experience undertaking the biggest project in Apartment 34 history. Throughout the summer we’re going to be sharing the steps in our design process, letting you in on some of our best sources, bringing you behind the scenes looks at some of the artists and designers who helped us pull everything together and sharing what we learned along the way. This will build up to the big Sunset Magazine September Issue release!

I’ve mentioned guns on the blog one other time. Yet again, I’m not looking to open up a political debate with this post, but I will admit to you, that guns are not something I feel the most comfortable with.

That’s why I’m loving this artful spin on weaponry. Guns fashioned out of botanicals!

Created by Australian artist Sonia Rentsch, each piece is brilliantly made out of some of the most fragile pieces of nature. The series is called Harm Less. I think the title speaks for itself.

Just like this, these are also guns I would be happy about having in my house! I can see prints going down the loft’s hallway already!!

Lately, there has been an influx of new ways to style a bed flying around Pinterest. Gone are the days when you mimic a hotel bed with a tucked in flat sheet folded over a thin quilt. In fact, the majority of bedrooms have taken a rather un-styled approach to bed styling.

It’s piqued my desire to try out new ways to tidy up our bed, because honestly, who wants to make the bed all fancy in the morning?? So, let’s take a look at various ways make your bed look good: Pinterest style!

Style #1: Cover it up with a quilt or blanket!

Sounds too simple to be true? Well, it kind of is and is also completely genius! It works great with a more rustic style room like the one below. The loosely tossed linen duvet cover brings casualness to the four-poster bed.

Style #2: No duvet, just white sheets and a casually thrown throw.

Now, I don’t know how practical this is {I would be freezing at night!} but, I’m obsessed with the clean and modern look it brings to the room. Who would have thought you could get away with showing off your sheets? The triple stacking of pillows creates a great focal point as well. I love the height they add to the bed’s low slung silhouette.

Style #3: Messy pillows and disheveled duvet all in a monochromatic color palette.

Semi-reminiscent of dorm days, this is the make-your-bed-in-30-seconds way to go {which I know I could handle}. Throw the duvet and the pillows towards the headboard and simply so a little fold-over at the end and you’re good to go! Of course, I’m loving the different shades of gray {my go-to color}; they bring interest to solid bedding for those of us who aren’t pattern happy.

So, what do you think? Are you down for the un-styled turn that bed making has taken? Or are you standing firm on making your bed in a more traditional way?

Spoiler alert: I’ll be revealing my new bed making style in a special feature quite soon, so stay tuned!
