Every night while the boys are doing homework I sit at the table with them scrolling through Pinterest and wondering if Wyatt will EVER know that the answer to 7×8 is 56 {that seems to be a tough one for 3rd graders}.  Tonight I came across the photo below and loved the juxtaposition of Wild West meets DISCO.

Here’s a few sources if you are INSPIRED!!

Cowhide via Cactus Creek… we always have them in stock & if we don’t have what you want we can order it!! Click HERE for our current in-stock.

This is a “REAL” Disco Ball available HERE, but I’m pretty sure the one in the photo is a DIY… this one is $29.99.  By the time you buy aluminum foil & figure it out… you do the math.

Industrial Bar Stool {used as a night stand} via ETSY HERE.  This one is likely to be SOLD, but ETSY always has good finds like this one!!

Another ETSY find available HERE… love the funky vibe of this PEACE PILLOW.  It’s all about finding your peace baby.

I ran across this image over the weekend on Pinterest. It originated from an Etsy Shop called The House That Lars Built, based in Denmark. The image was snapped to sell the big, beautiful PAPER FLOWERS in the corner… but what captured my attention were the WHITE LOG WALLS. I have seen stained log walls in the past, but never painted, much less white. It’s interesting. I don’t know what to make of it. THOUGHTS???

p.s. The House of Lars has several beautiful hand made paper flower items that are worth a peek!!  the BIG flower with the bride is stunning… and so is the paper ring. Very sweet and lovely.

Just posted this fantastic SHABBY * INDUSTRIAL * VINTAGE Green Gooseneck Lamp {top pic above}… I don’t want to let it go, it’s my color, my style…. but there is no place for it right now and someone else {maybe you??} will love it forever so here you go.  If I had the green room bedroom {bottom pic above} it then I would NEVER let it go!!  it would look too good…

The green chandelier in the room {above} did it for me here.  What a great way to commit to color & work a thousand ways around it.

I have a new decorating job starting this morning with a family that I adore… I’ve worked with them for years on different projects and I very clearly remember helping them get their daughter’s nursery together just a few weeks before she was born.  The mom-to-be called me in a panic because it suddenly occured to her that her baby would be here any day & the room wasn’t perfect.  Her husband couldn’t begin to understand what the big deal was, but I totally got it & we got it done in plenty of time.

Well tomorrow we are going to work on that baby girl’s “big girl” room to celebrate her 3rd birthday {before we know it we’ll be decorating her dorm room}.  As we’ve talked about what to do & how to do it I have started to imagine a room a lot like the one above… very sweet and feminine, but not too ooey-gooey.  This is the kind of room where a little girl can grow into a little lady.

A few things on this week’s WISH LIST to help us get the look…

Faux Orchid

Burlap Wallpaper

White Baroque Mirror

 
Vintage White Wicker Head Board

Calvin Klein Florina Bedding

Nothing is so simple and lovely as white on white… it feels so clean and fresh, especially in a  kitchen.  It’s the little touches that add warmth & familiarity to any space, especially important for the white on white spaces to keep them from feeling sparse.  Like everything else, it’s all about balance…

Here are a few ideas for GETTING THIS LOOK…

{i love this SAVORY roaster, i looked for one for years and finally found it… would look so great at a party full of chips & dips, or as a planter, or just for holding your blah blahs in the kitchen}

Hope y’all had a great Memorial Day weekend!! We have been working hard on re-doing our kichen cabinets ~ scraping, painting & cleaning the messes we make in the process. The boys have been “helping” which adds double duty to the whole process. I’m happy to say it’s about done and we are ready to move on to the next house project…

But first we will be spending next weekend in Branson {it’s like Vegas in the Midwest but with a less than stellar hip factor}. The big road trip to said city is in honor of our oldest boy’s 8th birthday. He is OBSESSED with the Titanic and Branson offers a Titanic Museum which is the epitome of grandness when you are 8 years old and determined to be a boat captain when you grow up.   I think it sounds like a noble career goal ~ especially if we can stow away every now and then…

Anyway… as I mentally prepare for the impending weekend and the time that will be spent learning about the Titanic, I can’t keep but thinking how fun it would be to switch his room from the current train theme to something more nautical… thus this week’s Water Bound Wish List.

Every week I post a few things that we are LOVIN’ – CLICK HERE for all of the wishes from the last few months…

Decorating with ANTLERS * HORNS * SKULLS & MOUNTS is an expected choice if your home is Rustic or Western or Lodge.  But sometimes I’ll run across an antler in the last expected place and I’m always impressed that it makes such a statement.  Especially impressive is the collection of antlers or horns…  It is really the epitome of bringing the outdoors in.

I keep thinking about Chocolate Rooms…
I’ve loved this one  from Country Living for a long time now.

but this one is also making me want to do some serious re-decorating ~ I’m not so sure that these walls aren’t dark purple/eggplant which would normally make me say ewww, but I don’t know, I’m kind of liking it, especially with the cactus green…

 Here is how I would want to do this room in my own house:

 
{via Materials World}

Black & White Cactus Canvas
{from 20″ wide to 48″ wide!!}

Apple Green Sofa from Old Plank Road

Sara Wool Kilim Marrakesh Rug

Cowhide Ottoman from Rocky Mountain Cabin Decor

Saguaro Cactus Lamp from Nature Displayed
