Decor to Die For: You're such a pouf! No we mean it in a nice way! We heart Moroccan Poufs!


Uggghhh how much we super and crazy uber heart Moroccan Poufs hurts! No really...it hurts!
How do you convince a boy that they are amazing and belong in your house?


You can literally put an amazing pouf anywhere in your home to brighten up your space in a totally functional way.


There are sooo many different types of Moroccan poufs out there....where do we begin?



Hmmmmm....how about with a bit o' inspiration for us all...then we shall show you a few of our TDF faves...OK...let's GO!

**Beware...this post is muy picture heavy...but that's OK right...right? 'Cuz seriously who wants to read so much today? **

You can not talk about nouveau Moroccan poufs (MPs) with out talking about (and obsessing over) John Derian...The King of the modern Decoupage.


He could possibly be the reason poufs are back in such a big way...

LOVE the mix of purple, crisp white, and bright pink...not to mention the rad lucite coffee table...


Now... although Mr Derian's poufs are gorge and just called both of our houses asking if they can come home and sit by our windows and fireplaces...they are pretty pricey...

Gosh...the mix of classic meets cosmopolitan meets bohemian chic is TDF and sooo chic! It says..."Oh I love to pick up things here and there while I sail around the world"


So guess what? No, it is not a DIY...(scroll down...the DIY is later)...Tazi Designs makes beautiful poufs too and for about $100 less...wooo hooo!

We are in Heartland with their metallics

And these ridiculously stupidly amazing embroidered lovelies!!!! These are dying to be somewhere near us...


A sickly talented and stunning friend of ours has a couple of these...Hmmmm wonder if she will notice if both of them are gone...They are sooo yummy it's totally worth smuggling them out...

John and now Tazi's poufs are soooo fantastic, they come in soooo many colors and sizes...
Here are a few of the ways to use their gorgeous poufs that we are obsessing about...seriously...OBSESSING!!!

Bye bye odd ceramic garden stools being used as end of the bed stool/benches....hello stunning use of MPs.

Dear FGF Kelly W,
Hi there by now your restraining order against us is probably being filed but before we agree to sign, can we just tell you...WE LOVE THESE limey green MPs in the most chic kids room ever!

Only you can mix light green poufs with light blue, rolled arm, tuffted, nailhead chairs...ugly dolls and an upholstered sleigh bed and make it look perfect! Sooo good!

If you are not ready to board the train to Moroccan Poufville but still love the look of soft stools...here are a few newbies to take a gander at...

Kilim is back in a big way and here is the Kilim take on the pouf...

This would look amazing in a white modern space...

Speaking of modern...Paola Lenti makes weatherproof "knit" plastic pouf that is spectacular...
Love it used as a table or poolside seat!

Ikea makes some great woven wood ones if Paola's don't do it for you or your wallet...


Hello super inviting chunky knit poufs from DWR?!?!? Sooo nautical meets modern chic and cozy!

Don't feel like spending $800 (on sale for $800) smackers? Make one yourself! See told you we had a DIY...

Hey don't laugh...it can look like this one the DIYer made herself...


Be a stylish lover....hug a Pouf today...then put it anywhere in your house and dare your friends not to steal your style ;)

xoxo things we heart

P.S. I just noticed we lied about the whole not reading thing...there are a lot of words here...oh well...they were for a good cause...

Decor to Die For: Color Crave! We heart the deep blues


Dark blue...sooo chic...soooo regal...and awesomely nautical. It's such a great way to ground a room while still having fun.


We recently bought a bench for our bedroom and it came out a gorge royal blue color. It took a few days to get used to it but now we are coocoo for it.


How shmancy is this Urban fainting chaise? It really wants to go home with you and spruce up your boring space (no offense)...
Curl up on this with a good book...throw a great throw on it and heaven awaits...
That tufting alone will chic-ify your space instantly.

W.O.W. ! The deep navy walls against the crispiness of the white moulding and dark wood accents in this "nautical" bathroom is sooooo good!
Love how they tied the theme together with the perfectly placed accessories! And geez...have some storage why dont you...show offs...Opps ;)


Oh fake boyfriend Jonathan Adler...Only you could make nautical rope wallpaper chic in the nerdiest way! This would look sooo good on a few walls...
OH! You know what would look suuuper cute against this wallpaper or any blue wall for that matter? This bright yellow console from Ikea...

Just add some great Lucite knobs and you will have design mags knockin' at your door...


OK...enough is enough FBF! Mr Adler....why do you make us feel super inadequate???
We both have beautiful sofas and then you go ahead and throw this stunning royal/navy blue one in our faces.
It's like you are challenging us in some way. No? You're not? Oh...hmmm...OK well we still feel that way. We love how inviting this velvet sofa is with out looking the least bit frumpy.


You have forever left an imprint in our souls. Your mixing of royal colors kills us (in the best way) We will forever long to repeat and copy these gorgeous rooms filled with navy, salmon and olive...

Ugghhh...who would ever think that those colors work so gorgeously together? They are so rich and luxurious yet totally warm and comfortable...
We can't wait to come back and get inspired to copy you more!

Domino..Domino...Domino...the pit in our stomachs is still there from your abrupt disappearance.

We are OBSESSED with this perfect nook. The crispiness of the white furniture against the navy walls mixed with the bright orange accessories and vintage walnut dresser....TDF!!!!!!

So we were completly enamored with this matte navy DIY console we decided to recreate it in our own home...

For some reason whether it is the blue or the matte effect or both, they bring out the beautiful details of this console. Love the ornate pattern and twisted legs combine with the modern pulls.

Deal lord Domino! Leave us be! Ok...don't ever leave us but come on...really? Really???
Purple+ navy+ turquoise+ white+ pink and black = Perfect? Sure does...If this doesn't inspire you...then we don't know what to say...I guess we could say sorry.

Remember how we said yellow would look divine against a blue wall? Well what about in a bright room with royal blue bedding....YES!!!!!!!!!
These bright yellow garden stools drive is nuts mixed with the blue bedding...now if only we didn't have bunny cats and kittens running crazy to knock them over....hmmmm

P.S. This is why blue and yellow look so fab together....



Oh...hello there Chesterfield sofa that we have been stupidly obsessively in heartville with for years...how are you????? AMAZING??? YES YOU ARE!!!!!!!!
Sorry for all the yelling but come on! How gorge is this color? And the nail heads? TDF chic! And don't get us started on those beautiful hanging lanterns...

There is something extremely Madmen meets granny chic about this Ink colored Danish-ish modern wingback-y chair from R&B.
The clean sleek lines of the chair mixed with the unexpected inky blue is stunning...throw a great JA pillow on this with a Saarinen marble table next to it and we will come over and steal it ASAP!


Here is another amazing example of deep navy walls that are refreshing and crisp. Get rid of those ornate mirrors and replace with b&w photos or more streamlines mirrors and maybe throw out the ruffle duvet cover and you have a gorgeous room.
Love that sneak attack of leopard in the corner...soo nice with the white and navy.



Not ready to dive in to the deep blue? Grab a cute accessory or fantasmic pouf to spice up your place.
These are sooo easy to incorporate and we bet you a package of Cadbury Creme Eggs (YUMMMM) that you use it waaay more then you think you will...


We looooooove a good Madeline Weinrib flatweave rug... and when we saw this one we gasped! (I mean who can resist navy and white zig zags...certainly not us)
You know what would look amazing in this rug??? Some suuper cute bright colored poufs!
Get deep...deep blue! Try it..you'll like it. We promise!

xoxo things we heart
