{Happy Halloween}

Here's a quick Halloween post... GHOST CHAIRS ;-)


Philippe Starck's Ghost Chair is making an appearance just about everywhere! Retails at $410 but there are several knock-offs. ME AMO.

They even come mini sized for kids! These would be super cute in a nursery-

{Thirty-Minute Storyboard}

Looks like I will have to be the first {Thirty-Minute Storyboard} participant. Apparently, you all are too chicken to send me pix of your rooms!!!! Well, I will be the first to admit that I am the shoemaker whose children have no shoes. Our Master Bedroom is so sad. There's no excuse for it's poor situation besides the fact that... we are poor ;-). So... here it goes...


Here is the photo that inspired today's 30-min story board:

What I love:
- I love the use of brown and black together
- This room just feels fresh, airy, comfy, as well as romantic
- I love canopy beds that aren't over stated
- The fact that you could pull off this look without breaking the bank

Our sad excuse of a bedroom:
- The only thing we have purchased for our room is our bedding
- Everything else... MUST GO!
- FYI, I have yet to find a suitable remake of Anthropologie's Cirrus Bedding

 

Ta-Da! What I love about this storyboard:

- I created this space as if I were NOT the client... and I have to say, it's something I would have never put together for myself, but I just might make this my new bedroom!

- It's a little rustic without being chunky. It's sophisticated with a touch of vintage fever. 

- I love the black/brown hardwood floor in a herringbone pattern

- yum, yum, yum.

Well, I hope you enjoyed today's post and next week... I better have photos in my inbox!!! ;-)

{The Whole Outdoors}

I think I am most inspired by outdoor spaces. I love the whole "bring the outdoors in, and indoors out." Given that I've been doing a ton of backyard remodeling I have been searching for a lot of fun ideas. Check out all these great outdoor spaces. The first picture is the picture I chose as color inspiration for our yard-
