I love chandeliers

I especially love it when someone takes the chandelier concept and changes it into something their own, something awesomely their own.

These were nabbed from the Brocade Home Design Blog. by David Wiseman.

Prettehs that I deserve

So, Jayson Home and Garden is having a sale, well, actually the sale is ending, but I stumbled across it and died for a -ton- of items that were of course, not on sale. Since there is no way I'm buying furniture right now, despite all my wants and desires, here are a few things you could buy me if you really really loved me.


I know how much you care. :)

One of my fav DIYs

I love when people DIY old furniture and spruce it up to something shiny and new. Its so cost effective, not to mention, I'm all about customization, so the very concept of taking something mass produced and reworking it into something wholly your own is beyond appealing to me. These I grabbed from design*sponge

So I nabbed these shots off of the Desire to Inspire blog.

I love this upholstery, I love things that come in multi block colors with ornate designs. I love pop on top of antique, how can it go wrong? Well, I could probably do happily without the pink.

This chandelier is nice, toned down while simultaneously being sufficiently pleasing to my hyper-ornate eye.

Ok look at these chairs. What do you want me to do. I can't even say anything, I'm so sold.

Random candelabra for the win!

Its mass post time

I haven't posted in awhile, been busy working on my father's website as well as helping him get set up for his first Photography Show. But since I've been neglectful, I have a huge backlog of things that inspire me and things that I crave. Things stuff items objects, yum. My taste will become blatantly obvious in the first two images, and each consequent one.

First things first...oh ya, and while I'm writing this I'm watching a particularly good episode of House. I love House.

So I started writing this post at like, 4pm. I decided that what I would do is go through my RSS feeds and check all the starred items since I began starring them. No point in having them starred if I'm not going to review them later. This has led me to now, 5:55pm. Finally at the bottom of the list and ready to do some awesome justice to....this blog. Heh, the best of the past 5-6 months in my blogs. We'll start there, we'll get to other places later.

Unfortunately do to the everre-loading nature of the reader, at 7:14pm I've decided to go from most recent to oldest. Heh.

I love the bed and the chandelier, and the nightstand. The detailing on the bedframe is really intricate, and for some reason I've been craving more of the color white. The ruffles on the pillows and duvet compliment the baroque vintage accents on the furniture and the chandelier really really well. I'm not a fan of that lamp, but too much frill gets gross after awhile so that streamlined silver works really well, its just not my taste. I'm definitely shabby chic with a few modern/asian accents.

Nothing reminds me of how much I adore DC than the random architecture I see. I could happily take shots like this all day long, and eventually with more training on my camera I don't doubt that I will.

Int'l Gem and Jewelry Expo

So, since I had today off and my mother wanted today off, we decided to go to the Int'l Gem and Jewelry Expo, she makes jewelry, so it makes sense. Here's a sampling of some of what we came home with.



blurry...

I love when other blogs set me off to beautiful things.

Archetype Vase White by Carola Zee $195

One of my fav-o-rite things

$525 from Umbra, just awesomely functional, designed by Matt Carr.
