new items hit the shop

I just listed some new things to the Arkanoff Design Co. shop here. The weather is so nice today, I think we'll go for a little walk. Happy Friday!






looming spring swaps


Like everyone else I'm beginning to get the itch to swap out the heavy for the light. The cozy for the crisp. It's probably the heat wave of 60 degree weather this week sparking my spring fever. Whatever it is I'm just praying that groundhog was right.

pure style home


I think a new lumbar pillow is just what I need to spark my interest in changing out the winter bedding. I've also been toying with a wallpaper accent wall like the one in the first image. I just need to pull the trigger.

saving the perfect sweater


I bought this pale pink cotton boyfriend sweater a couple of years ago at j. crew. I love it for it's versatility, it can be paired with a pretty dress (like today) or with my favorites jeans and tank. Not to mention it's a great transitional piece for fall to winter and winter to spring. I was so horrified when I pulled it from the wash a while back and found two small holes on the lower left hand front side. I shoved it in the closet with a giant sigh and didn't think about it for a while. Until Monday when inspiration struck and I decided it was worth mending. I cut out a simple flower shape using card stock and traced around it on some fabric remnants. I then strategically sewed on my pattern over the holes. I'm so glad to have my old friend back in rotation.

powder room update


I'll be updating the powder room addition link to include the new "chair rail" border I added recently. Cost of this project... $0. I used some leftover paint from the family room and a empty toilet paper roll to stamp it on. The room was a tad on the stark side before with the light walls. I think this adds just enough pop.
