Africa has always been on my bucket list of trips to take… but until I can get there, West Elm has gone to Johannesburg and Cape Town to search out local artisans and showcase their work. Bold prints, animal accents, and a few twists on classic pieces make for a warm and lively collection. Here are some of the pieces I’d love to style with…

1. Shirley Fintz Table Lamp – $249.00 This is gorgeous and looks vintage. LOVE the elephants!

2. Istanbul Rug – $129.00 – $799.00 Affordable, lovely and inspired by Turkish tile work, I’m considering this rug for my  own home. 

3. Bordered Chevron Pillow Cover – $19.00 Can’t get enough of chevron… and a monogram to boot! This would make a great gift!

4. Gemma Orkin Blue Birds Silk Pillow Cover – $34.00 The blue in this pillow is perfection and every home needs a bird somewhere :). 

5. Embroidered Hourglass Pillow Cover – $34.00 A twist on the zebra stripe that’s funky and fresh!

6. Wola Nani Office Collection – $12.00 – $39.00 These pieces come in different patterns and would add a fun pop to any desk. 

7. Source Console – $499.00 A classic console with unique curves.
