stuff i like

i think because of the simple furniture and lights they could get away with the awesome huge prints...hope tara will see this for the headboard idea.


an obsession of mine - noticing how people hang stuff on their walls - i love how scattered and imperfect this is



yes, the wallpaper subject revisited. couldn't resist this pattern!

yer kidding - more wallpaper?

one last note before i try to get to bed...i recently saved these other wallpaper photos and couldn't find them when i made my last wallpaper entry...here they are!

now, i couldn't live with pink wallpaper, but, this bathroom is so cool!!

this turquoise print: i realize this makes me sound totally insane, but when i came across this pattern i actually felt choked up. i also cry if i eat very good food. so, this turquoise and white print just does something for me. i feel like it is perfection. to me, it is a work of art. it's the color, but it's also the snowflake-like delicacy. it's unusual, but familiar because it's kinda floral and a little like an aquatic lifeform.



finally, a vibrant poppy print.




don't give the baby milk!

listen, some babies just shouldn't have cow milk. that's why i am here at 1am playing blog. i'm awake for real.
If you live in England and you are in a position to be shopping for furniture, I damn well hope you are shopping at Graham and Green. Holy cow, I love to love things that are out of reach. Lamp and brown desk photo are from that website. http://www.grahamandgreene.co.uk.com/
And here is another lovely office in the colors I adore...Um, the walls aren't white, it's true... Black and white with blue. It's so awesome!

curtain


Finally made a curtain for the window in master bathroom. I had this small piece of fabric in the basement and it was just big enough to suffice as a window covering. Done! Yay!

And because you've been such a good reader today, you get a special treat....a very sweet Mister Rafey smile!

entryway



Table is new - it took me forever to find something that would fit here! All other objects are things found in my house already. Today I taped up this draggy cord, so now it's lookin swell.
This is a close-up of the beautiful tiny arrangement that is on the table. Stella made this and I think it's gorgeous.

projects



wow. I just spent the longest time I have ever spent making a blog entry only to have it all lost! Holy shmokes!




So now I will put up the same pictures but put a lot less work into organizing them!

Before: blank wall. After: picture frames I am reusing - they were gold before, I painted them white, put in old sheet music.

wallpaper, again...

I'm now seeing a great benefit of blogging...when I get that "i have to have it!" feeling, i transform that into, "i have to have a picture of that for my blog!" it's really handy. Here are some extra amazing wallpaper pictures, because maybe there is someone out there who will feel happy when they look at these patterns, the way i do.


This first one reminds me of my Aunt Sharon's house (as it was when I was very small, at least.) They had a deep green rug. It was very 70s. It was very clean. And green.


Tina, if you aren't in love with this wallpaper, I will be totally in shock!!!

Ah, sweet sweeeet!



IT'S HERONS!!! One of my favorite creatures.
