my living room. see??
though you probably wouldn't know by looking at my house, I looooove decorating. I would prefer shopping for things for my house more than for clothes pretty much any day. The only problem is that I have the hardest time committing to decor in my own house. I have been agonizing over paint colors for far too long, so I decided to just take a risk and go for something different in my formal living room. So now I have some lovely chocolate brown walls instead of being surrounded by white. It's not quite finished yet, but here's a little preview of some of the details- new paint color, pillows, rug (not pictured, but it's aqua blue with a white scraggley tree silhouette), and a BUNCH of vintage frames that I refinished. I can't wait for it to all come together!
Here are a few other things I've been inspired by lately
(these pics not from my own home. unfortunately.)
I will DEFINITELY be attempting this- either in the living room or Max's room. Haven't decided yet. via apartment therapy.
I like the idea of this eclectic collection of plates and the way they're hung.
I think my kitchen needs this. via blueprint.
My friend Caroline turned me on to Orla Kiely wallpaper. I LOVE her bags, but who knew she had the wallpaper of my dreams?? These are my two favorites- the top one I would LOVE in my bedroom, the bottom one, I don't know where I could put it. I just like it.
HELLO!!! Where have you been blogging buddy???
