room service fun

so.....i discovered something else at room service. they own houses in la and palm springs. and i have a feeling a certain girlfriend of mine may be looking at some palm springs nuptials. i'm super duper hoping either i get to stay in one of these for the wedding, she rents one for a pre or post wedding-fest, or we get the pink one for a girls weekend. but whichever way....how fun would it be to rent one of these???

GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!! Especially if you are one of the girls who will be staying with me in these. or if you are the girl planning the nuptials.

unfortunately, i cant get the pics downloaded.

room service furniture

Here's what i'd buy if i went to room service with a blank canvas and $10,000 today. IF my next couch isnt leather (CANT go wrong with leather, and nailhead trim), then it will be this silvery velvet. and tufting. i love tufting.

isnt this bedroom fun? i have a chair in my room that color. such a great color!

Found this last couch at robb & stucky.

decor stuff i love lately

ist the bathroom on the right great? love the tiny marble tiles on the wall. and the bigger marble tiles on the bath.

Okay - my sister is trying to plan her future daughter's room. her husband likes lavender better than pink. i like the idea of black and white and lavender (my sister is NOT traditional girlie at all, i thought maybe she'd go for this black white lavender thing, and she did). originally i thought put a grey/purple color on the walls, but i ran across this wall paper and i love it! found here. wouldnt it be fun to have this wall paper in a little girls room with pops of purple (or pink!).

This picture i love because of the repetition. how fun to have a bunch of dangly lights instead of just 1.

this is HOPEFULLY my future bathroom inspiration. I love love love love love love love love the antiqued mirror tiles. i think i'd use rosettes where all the tiles meet (saw that on divine design last week, way cool, thank you candace!). problem is, finding these antiqued mirrors. not as easy as you'd think. although, i have read about how to antique mirrors. it includes acid. hmmmmmmmm....but i also love the chandelier. the tub, the curtain. the wood floors. sigh...

this above pic is from the black & spiro store. I dont know why its on my desktop but something about it spoke to me in the past few weeks. probably all the different prints in the same space. and the orange bamboo?? settee. i think i need something like that.

this above pic i liked because of the bottom pic. the minimalist in me loves the bare room with the awesome worn wooden floors and white table with red stool.

amy butler rugs

Aren't these rugs by AMy Butler fantastic? Pretty sure i need one of these first two for my next bedroom. found them here....a place called burke decor. Its a great gift type store.

inspired to decorate

every year, we leave for christmas, and therefore i never decorate cuz i feel like its a waste. but it pains me to have no tree or decor up for the holidays. this year, we are doing it differently. we've already got lights up (**thank you love!), and there is some random decor items up, but i'm looking on the internet today and i came across this 1yr old bday party.

and the shower decor from the same lady that did the cool thanksgiving invites (here!) and i'm realizing that its cool to decorate cuz it makes ME happy when i walk in. i came to this realization cuz looking at this decor, doesnt it make the parties look so much more festive? and fun? and make you want to go? so... i'm going big.

today is decor day. i had collected a bunch of pine cones i planned on spray painting silver and sticking EVERYWHERE in the house, but left those in california. so we need to go hunting again today for some more. Also - we have a cute little family coming to house sit over the holidays so they will enjoy the tree. (WE GET TO GET A TREE!!!). and hopefully keep it from being flammable.

on a random side note, i used to have a roommate that loved getting the ugliest xmas tree on the lot and giving it a name. my last tree was when i lived with her and he was called fernando. he was sort of a sad looking charlie brown-like bush/tree. i wonder if the hubby will let me get a bert or bernadette. he'll probably come up with a wayyy catchier name. i'll keep you posted.

i also ran across these cake plates again today. i had seriously researched them when i was planning the wedding, but couldnt bring myself to cough up the $ for them for the wedding. (i wanted 5.) but they still call to me. i think i will have to indulge in just one for myself as a girly treat. someday. they are found here...clara french

thanksgiving invites
