The Locker Room

I was browsing Lula B's yesterday, one of my favorite consignment stores in Dallas, and I found a fabulous locker / card catalog piece. I didn't buy it because its a little out of my price range at the moment. But it got me dreaming. Here's a picture of it below:

Just think of the possibilities:

More brown and blue loveliness...

Lotus Chandelier

Love this chandelier. I want to hang one in my dining room over the table. Find it at Rian Rae.

Aqua and Beige

Yumminess.

Get Happy, Go French

I needed a pick me up. Atelier prints and papers always add a little punch of fun to my day.

Halloween is almost here!

I usually don't decorate for Halloween, but I've got a kid now and we've got to do something, right? So I picked up a pumpkin from the grocery store and hacked it up into a jack-o-lantern. The photos below have me rethinking my decorating approach. Maybe instead of butchering an orange gourd in honor of my son's first real Halloween, I should try something a little more elegant.

Books

I've been unpacking all of my beloved books, leafing through every one. I can't imagine my home without them.

Bohemia for Rent

A few nights ago, I stumbled upon Air Space, a website filled with astonishingly unique and beautiful rental spaces available in the UK. Some of my favorite rentals had names like "Gypsy Warehouse" and "Yates". Dear readers, this is the real Bohemia and its for lease!

Painting

I'm painting this weekend. I'm tackling our brick fire place and a dark wood built in. Both are currently dark, 70's looking things but I'm transforming them with a little KILZ base and a new coat of white-ish paint! Hopefully I'll keep my spills and mess-ups to a minimum.

Clean Slate

Instead of running down to the Home Depot for another gallon of something bright and bold, perhaps I should take a hint from these gorgeous spaces. They are so clean, fresh, calm and free. The light quality and creamy colors are divine.
