2Modern, and one of my fetishes

We have a great group of sponsors here at desire to inspire, and one that has been with us for a while is 2Modern. Their online store rocks, and I thought I would do a post on one of my fetishes, pillows, because they carry such a huge, amazing selection. (Although searching through their store might not have been a good idea, because it's too easy to hit that "ADD TO CART" button!)

One of my favourite lines is by Plush Living. OMG! They are silk, which ups the sexy factor, and the patterns and colours are so hot. I would be tempted to decorate a whole bedroom around some of these.


Thomaspaul is always up there on my list of favourite patterns and I am in love with just about every pillow 2Modern carries from their line. Since I have a thing for peacock feathers, that one might be my favourite.


Koko's line of pillows have an ethnic vibe to them which I'm always drawn to. The colours are so pretty, and they have such unusual patterns. The rice pillows won me over.


So go on over and check out their site, and for those in the continental US, shipping is FREE!

And now a word from our new sponsor

Yes folks, we have a new sponsor. Lap Dawg sells these incredibly functional lap desk/lap trays for use with your laptop, to write, to read mags in bed without killing your neck...and I could SO use one for all of the above. Seriously, I don't enjoy the neck pain I get when I try to sit on the couch with my laptop and watch TV and blog. I got fed up and haven't turned on my TV in a month (also partly due to my insane schedule these days...but there's always time for "So You Think You Can Dance"). Anyhoo, go check out their laptop stand tray thingy, because it's a good thing. ;)

And now a word from a new sponsor

Tate has decided to become a cherished member of the desire to inspire sponsor family, so I'd like to introduce you to his blog, Strange Closets, and welcome him with a great big kiss...but he'll just have to settle for this post.


I love Tate's "About Me" section on his blog so I think it's a perfect introduction: "I'm a native Chicago thirtysomething guy (more Timothy Busfield than Ken Olin, unfortunately). In my dreams, I'm a world-renown taste-maker, sought after for public appearances and too busy with my successful blog to take on any new clients. In real life, I discovered my passion for design while rehabbing a 2 flat in Chicago. For some reason, whether adding a staircase or expanding the kitchen, the result always seems to be Strange Closets."

Here's a bit about Tate's blog in his own words: "It's Chicago-based but I'm looking for photos of readers ideas, room makeovers, favorite stores, etc. from around the world. I'd like to maintain a Chicago focus for the readers here but to open it up a bit and let other readers introduce Chicagoans to the great design they or their community have to offer."

I just spent way too long on his blog, and LOVE to see the progress on his home. So do go check it out. And because we are all about photos on this blog, I thought I'd share a few from Tate's blog of some of his home renovations, which blew me away.

And now a word from our new sponsor

I could use a green tea right about now (it was a very VERY long day), and considering the state of my kitchen, I could also REALLY use some cabinets from Greentea Design. It's a Toronto based Asian furniture retailer with a large selection of contemporary and antique pieces and a strong commitment to the environment. They've been around for over ten years, and judging by the products featured on their website, I'd say they'll be around for many more. Not only do they carry kitchen cabinetry, but living room, dining room and bedroom furniture as well. Gorgeous!!! (Thanks Michael!)
