i just met my future house – hunny, are you ready to move?
i wish i could wrap my arms around this and make it my own. maybe someday? here are some of my favorites from the architects bosworth hoedmaker featured on desire to inspire. click here for the full post on jo & kim’s blog.
so as i decide to stay at home for another 2 years to save for a house – it’s an attempt, we’ll see how long it lasts – i need to “move back in” to my parents house. i’ve been moving out for the past 5 years, but now with this decision comes a need to get organized. get rid of the old college stuff. make my space work for me like i need it to. i stumbled across this idea for shoe organization on well worn:
this is a super easy, fast, cheap DIY that you could pull together quickly during the weekend – or even on a weeknight!
1. chair rail or moulding measured to the available length in your closet or on a wall
2. spray paint of choice
3. hammer and nails
4. pretty knobs
spray paint the chair rail and let dry thoroughly; attach knobs for flats; hang in your closet or on a wall; put your shoes up; toast a glass of champagne to your handiness.
restoration hardware never fails to impress me – i walk in the store and i long to take everything home with me. i especially love their lighting – and, no pun intended here, but the lightness of some of their table lamps.
particularly, i love the palladian crystal urn lamp. but with a heftier price tag ($455 without the shade or lightbulb) it’s just not in my price range. enter (i know, again!) amazon. there’s a solution to everything on amazon. and for this we have lamps plus possini crystal urn table lamp (with a more reasonable price tag of $179…it’s on sale right now, so chop chop).
i’ve been seeing a lot of high end inspiration so as i’ve begun to scheme plan the design for my next home (aka apartment). i always find myself highly inspired by the finer things in life that come with extraordinarily overbearing price tags. enter amazon. (and no, this is not a sponsored post)…
amazon is a wonderful thing. you can seriously find just about anything – i’m not even kidding. if you’re looking for something, and can’t find it, let me know, i’ll find it for you.
so there are these trunks at restoration hardware. and i love the overall idea of them (and fall in love with photos that show use of vintage suitcases). they are a little pricey and not exactly the look i’m going for. so enter amazon. where i find something that is in line with my intentions for my living room and doesn’t break the bank. we’re talking 3 of these that fit my style for the cost of one of restoration’s.
what’s your best lust vs. must?
ps – for a look more similar to the restoration ones (i’m going for very light, and metallic) check out these trunks
we are just loving this ethereal fixture from abc carpet & home – we could see it in a reading nook, a little girl’s room or even a bathroom.
there’s something perfect about this picture…when can we move in?
