Who says rugs can only live on the floor?! The #Le Who says rugs can only live on the floor?! The #LeanneForCrate rug collection has more living to do than you might realize! We created these @valenti_studio designed rugs in an extremely thin pile so they can easily be tacked up on the wall or draped over a railing. The creamy rug, which I named "Ghost Ranch" in honor of my girl, Georgia, has a sort of hidden design to it, with ever so slight variances in the creams and whites in no particular shape, so it feels simple to your eyeful but as you get closer you see an interesting and slightly "off" detail. The #CrateStyle team and I also did ombre style rugs in faded sumac shades and washed out worn in blacks with a thicker softer cozy pile! And then, of course, my favs, simple but beautiful, the thick dyed clay sisal and dyed black sisal rugs and runners, with natural fringe. My kind of fringe. (Well, that and bangs.) All these rugs are created to layer and live well together for added warmth, texture and interest. So get to it! // #LeanneFordInteriors shot by @amyneunsinger for @crateandbarrel
Well, it's official. This #arched #bed wasn't only Well, it's official. This #arched #bed wasn't only my dream. But seems a lot of you out there were ready for a new twist on the ol' #canopybed too! Victory! 
I can't believe what a success this one has been, because, let's face it, it was a bit risky. And thank you to the #CrateStyle team for figuring out how to make this work. Thank you for recognizing that this could be something special and for the many iterations you went through with me to make this just right. Thank you for not giving up, Crate! 
I can't wait to get this one in my house. And if you bought this looker too, please whatever you do, send pictures! // #LeanneFordInteriors for @crateandbarrel shot by @amyneunsinger for #LeanneForCrate
Creating a custom candle for the #LeanneForCrate l Creating a custom candle for the #LeanneForCrate line was a dream. Think cozy mornings by last night’s fire. Am I a sap or what? But really, this candle is smokey and earthy. I’m sure there are official words to describe it, but that’s all I got. Plus! I named these three candles after my sisters and nieces, let’s just say they are stoked. So, go ahead and treat yourself! Light these puppies up as a reminder to yourself to “unrush” (newest life motto) and in the words of the great Eagles, “Take It Easssssyyyyy.” // #LeanneForCrate and #LeanneFordInteriors shot by @amyneunsinger for @crateandbarrel #CrateStyle
I love a good #shelfie! And let's face it, we've a I love a good #shelfie! And let's face it, we've all got SHELVES to fill out there people! So I wanted to create pieces that are fail proof. Cool, easy and multipurpose. Designed to live as bud vases or candle stick holders, these little guys will do wonders for your space. If you do throw some things on your shelf or mantle, remember this: Stay in a simple color story (life motto) and play with odd numbers. Always make sure to mix different heights and widths together. For kicks, I usually like to throw something in there that's a little wonky or oversized and feels slightly out of place even, like this Wabi pot. Now, get out into the yard or go on a walk and scavenge some pretty natural elements to live with them and add a touch or two of your favorite vintage trinkets. And you’re good! Send pictures! // #LeanneFordInteriors for @crateandbarrel shot by @amyneunsinger  #LeanneForCrate
Keep it simple! There’s nothing better than a be Keep it simple! There’s nothing better than a beautiful, simple bed. I went rogue and didn’t put any pattern or design on any of the bedding we created for #LeanneForCrate. Simple colors can mix and match and make for an always pretty bed, even if you "forget" to make it every morning. Plus, for me it’s all about how the bedding feel, so we concentrated on the fabric.  I wanted to make simple plush and "crispy" sheets (know what I mean?) and linen and cotton duvets that will all live easily together. Hot tip for all you designers out there: Here's what I learned through all of this: "thread count" used as bragging rights is actually not even a thing! Thread count is talking about the number of threads in one square inch. What matters more than the number is the quality of the fibers and the weave of the fabric.  If you love a good hotel bed as much as I do, then I made these for you! Well... and me. // #LeanneFordInteriors for @crateandbarrel shot by @amyneunsinger
So this is a BIG one for me. As you might be able So this is a BIG one for me. As you might be able to tell, I am all about a #WhiteSofa. Being on the never ending hunt for the perfect slip covered sofa and sectionals, and let's just say I've tried them all. But nothing was exactly right. SOOOO, I just went ahead and created my own, thanks to my @crateandbarrel besties! (For the record it comes in a perfect creamy oatmeal and other shades too!) With clean lines to give it a modern shape, a slightly UNDERstuffed fill so you can sink into it, and performance fabric you can throw in the wash, this cozy sofa is the perfect catch all for the family, the friends, the pup, or for those oh so special guests ... that you just can't seem to kick out. #LeanneForCrate // #LeanneFordInteriors for @crateandbarrel shot by @amyneunsinger
