If you’re new to Society6, it’s a collective of thousands of talented artists, creating a limitless supply of awesome designs on a slew of useful products. From art prints and cell phone cases to shower curtains and greeting cards, and so, so much more. From the clothes you wear to the walls you stare at every day, Society6 has got you covered. And maybe the coolest part of it all, is everything is made right here in the United States!
Pictured below is just a tiny slice of all the cool stuff you’ll find in our shop, including the newest item they’ve added to their catalog – Wall Tapestries. So take an extended lunch break at your desk and prepare to get lost in an ocean of sweet designs.
You guys. If you haven’t been over to Society6 recently just stop what you’re doing and go over there right now (ok, or after you finish this post). They have added so many great new products to their catalog recently, from clocks to shower curtains to muscle tanks, with the most recent addition of queen and king sized duvet covers! This means you can dress yourself and your home in cool, artsy designs from top to bottom. I can attest to the quality of their products because I use their mugs, pillows and tote bags on a daily basis. And not to brag, but I am the envy of all the bag boys at the grocery stores, I promise you that.
So take a minute to peruse the Aaryn West shop over at Society6 and treat yourself to something nice. You’ll feel good about it because everything they make is made in the United States. Or maybe just because everyone likes to have new stuff.

Hi there, friends. I’m back from quite the long radio silence here on the blog, and if you ever came across our Patterns, Preggos & Painted Places series from last spring you won’t have to wonder why. The birth of our first baby came in late July, a little girl we named Persephone Snow West. Work slowed down a good deal but never came to a full halt, although activity here on the blog certainly did.
Well, we’re back, baby! I decided to start things off with a little inspiration pulled straight from my own domicile: the nursery. Behold all of it’s imperfect splendor. Note the missing crib sheet and changing pad cover from the above photo (in the wash). Drawer pulls are also absent in that photo, I had a few of these cuties on back order from Anthropologie at the time.
That being said, this little room is a rainbow resort is filled with assorted adorables, most of which were given to us by dear friends. It’s great that when your friends recognize your love of bright colors and patterns, they buy your baby things in bright colors and patterns.
While I didn’t exactly plan out a theme for the room, you might notice rainbows are kind of everywhere. From the super cool set of Pantone baby books, to the bedding, to the set of Alexander Lang’s fairy tales on the small book shelf.
The ceramic toadstool nightlight is one of the most unique gifts Persephone received, and one which we use on a daily (or rather nightly) basis. Other highlights from the room include a limited edition print from the amazing Esther Kim, and an early original drawing of beautiful ballerinas by fine artist Shirley Ruff. Both are priceless treasures that I hope my daughter will grow up to love as much as I do.
Thanks for checking out some of the colorful details in my babe’s new room. It’s an evolving work-in-progress that will no doubt grow alongside her.
I’m excited to announce that Aaryn West has teamed up with Envelop to bring our prints into your home on a fun and quirky array of products. Ranging from pillow covers and tote bags to a variety of items for the kitchen, Envelop offers a unique way to personalize your space. Take a minute to check out our shop, and stay tuned for more items coming soon!

Warning: this is not your Grandmother’s wallpaper. Recently a few of these images have been floating around the web, so I followed them back to their source to find an incredible custom wallpaper design studio called Black Crow Studios. They specialize in creating modern, large-scale murals that differ from typical wallpaper in that you don’t see a real repeat. They have a diverse and impressive collection, but I’m especially smitten with their watercolor series. It’s not for every room [or every house], but it’s a refreshingly updated way to make an interior space more dynamic. And yet another example of how digital printing is taking over our world. Rejoice! Check out their site to see the rest of this series and more.
