I don’t know which I love more: Pinterest or tufted furniture. Luckily, today I got to combine the two together!
How plush is that tufted green sofa? I love how even the interiors of the armrests are tufted. And how about that turquoise tufted ottoman? I think I am drawn to this for the same reason I am drawn to the sofa – the tufting continues around the ottoman as it does throughout the sofa. You can never have too many tufts!
Which probably means I should tuft every wall in my house like the next image. I would probably even tuft the backsplash in my kitchen if I could!
And, oh that purple tufted headboard. A tufted headboard is one thing, but that purple?! Ooh la la. (PS that post is a DIY on how to make your own tufted headboard!)
Do you love tufts as much as I do? Or could you do without?

Today’s recipes to keep on your radar are all about pasta – in case you hadn’t noticed! I turned to Pinterest to start scoping out some pasta recipes, but there were far too many that looked far too delicious. So, I decided to include four of my absolute favorites. When I crave pasta, these four recipes are always what I crave.
1) Pasta all’Amatriciana
2) Pesto Pasta
3) Summer Pasta
4) Pasta with Vodka Sauce
Aside from the vodka sauce, these pastas are quick and easy to make. The recipe listed here is rather quick, but the one I like to make typically takes a few hours.
What is your favorite pasta recipe to make?

Placard&Nous is a French brand that makes trompe l’oeil decals for appliances and cabinetry. They made me smile. They are currently only made for European-sized appliances, but hopefully there will soon be US sizes available.

Vautrin has designed two lamps for them (so far), including the best-selling Binic , which she named after a lighthouse in Brittany where she grew up

Nucleo is presenting the Petroglyph collection in the first edition of PAD New York, through Gallerie Secondome. Using scrap materials sourced by the Nucleo Laboratory, the wooden tables and chairs have been assembled in layers to create striated forms. Additional timber boards are used to create screenprints with quotes inspired by Fyodor Dostoyevsky – celebrating beauty as the only form of salvation. “Salvation in a double sense, the message hidden inside, the soul, and in the re-used material, the body, visible to all.” The exhibition will run November 11-14, 2011.
