unruly things

love this modern macramé from Sally England.  that purple plant holder is incredible!

the folks at Terrain just launched their brand new site and it looks so great you guys!  I have to say, those big hero images are making me long to be back in Pennsylvania, walking the peaceful grounds of Terrain at Styers.  such a pretty place!!

to celebrate their newly launched site, Terrain is offering Unruly Things readers a special 15% discount on anything from the online shop.  pretty great, right?  just enter promo code UNRULY at check out.  here’s a sampling of what I’m eyeing for the welcoming of fall:

bunk beds and tepees on the lawn?  I’m day dreaming about staying at this Montauk Surf Shack.

last week, the folks from Terrain invited a lovely group of bloggers, including myself, to a day of garden tours, delicious cake tastings with the guys from Baked, mini spa treatments, a terrarium class, and a 7 course farm-to-table dinner – all in celebration of their upcoming website re-launch later this month.  being a fan of Terrain, I was so excited to visit their Glen Mills, PA location.  I was literally pinching myself all day long, falling in love with every step around the grounds.  everything is beyond beautiful and gorgeously styled.  I couldn’t stop myself from taking photos of everything.  it was an amazing day and I’m excited to share some photos with you.  if you have the chance to visit Terrain, I highly recommend it!

thanks for the amazing time Terrain!

during my maternity leave, I asked a few of my favorite mamas and mamas-to-be to kindly step in with some fun guest posts to keep you company

Hey! I’m Jen of the Haystack Needle and Cabin 7. It’s super awesome to be here, since Unruly Things has been a favorite daily read of mine for a long time. And being just a few weeks behind Alyson’s guess date (our baby girl or boy is due early June!), I’ve been hooked on following Alyson’s finds at Unruly Little Things. For me, the last few weeks have definitely brought on the nesting gene. I find myself wanting to organize or style every space in our apartment.

We lucked into a free changing table, as my friend + shop partner Chris was redecorating her bedroom and bestowed this antique dresser on us. It’s a beauty and it’s the perfect height for a changing table so we’re using it in the nursery (still need the changing pad.) I’ve always liked to line my dresser drawers with gift wrap papers. Sure, your stuff inevitably hides most of the paper’s pattern, but I love seeing the snips of color. And it provides a nice clean surface underneath (bonus, considering our dressers are secondhand.) Here’s a peek inside the drawers of our soon-to-be changing table. I used some favorite gift wraps I had lying around (including papers by Rifle Paper, eieio, and Snow & Graham), Mod Podge, and a foam brush to adhere the papers inside the wooden drawers. It helps to use a wallpaper brush to smooth the paper down as you position the paper in the drawer. And I used a little exacto knife to snip excess paper.

how cool are these animal pillows from Blue Clouds?  I love the crow!

I love these chalkboard state maps from Dirtsa.  {not to mention all the decor paired with it!}
