Decor to Die For: Inspired by SATC2 We heart Moroccan Accents! Thanks for Re-inspiring us!!!



Call it what you will...Sex and The City 2 excitement, our love of fun unexpected room accents, or just the fact that we will always have a crush on all that is Modern Moroccan. What ever it is...we heart it!


Moroccan with a twist...



OR


Modern with a twist of Moroccan is more like it.



You know our sick obsession with Moroccan Poufs right?


NO!?! Well go here to remind yourself for the 1st time.

Now that we got that out of the way we would loooove to thank the set designers of SATC2 for reminding us how much we crazily heart Moroccan Inspired Accents!!!!


We think our mini crush started at a Moroccan girlfriends wedding years ago when her party favors were the most gorgeous Moroccan tea cups!


How could something soooo small be soo amazing!
We use ours daily! For juice, tea, wine (super shmancy with wine) and water...


They are even more amazing at a perfectly lit dinner soiree. Inside and out.


Shhhpeaking of a perfectly lit soiree....we are at a loss for words (hahaha! us? loss for words...when pigs fly) when it comes to the beauty of Moroccan lanterns outdoors.


No matter what your style is there is one for everyone and every price! Woooo hooo!

Not only are they amazing as outdoor chandeliers like this one, but scattered around your yard filled with candles is stunning!



Tres Chic and UBER easy!

We are in fluttery heartville with these cheery, modern Moroccan lanterns from Zgallerie. And the price!?? Uh huh TDF!!!!

Fuchsia!


Tea tables are the bestest way possible to bring a lil' Morocco into your beautiful abode. They go with ANY decor, any style...with everything!


This traditional tea table is perfect for any room. Dark and moody and beautiful.


Uggghhhh we LOVE this room!!!

The mix of the English settee, the Oriental rug, the bright accents and the white tea table! Sooo cute!

For you modern Moroccan lovers...HSN brings you a chrome tea table.

Throw on some books...a tuberose Dyptique candle and some pink peonies in a milk white vase and you honey bunny are the cutest!!!!


So we have...

Lanterns- √
Tea Cups- √
Tea Tables- √

Hmmmm what o' what is missing? Rugs!!!!!! Our new obsession...OK, not obsession in the fun, giggly way...it's more of the what the F are we gonna do obsession....

We have been drooling and tearing over this black and white Moroccan-ish beauty from Wisteria.

Yummmmmmm. Imagine bright colored accents all around it with crisp white walls. Gorge! And the price is amazing for how beauty it is.

Hello stunning yumminess! We heart you Miss Weinrib and all you do to make us swoon.

This Moroccan tile patterned rug is delicious!!!!!

You can literally have a room filled with white or lucite furniture from...um...IKEA and this rug and you are done and stylishly done!
And you're gonna have to have all IKEA after you for the rug :)


In the mood for more Morocco? Grab your Moroccan Oil and you are half way there!



Have fun! Your house is a reflection of you! Step by step...and blog idea by blog idea...you will get there!

P.S. See you at SATC2!!!!!

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...
