Bedroom Project

I think I'm going to get my craftiness on and do my own design in my bedroom. As you all know, I have an odd fatuation with kelly green for my bedroom. I've talked myself out of repainting the walls (they really are a nice subtle grey) and have instead decided to paint a series on some canvases with navy, green and pink. I think doing so will satisfy the crazy kelly green obsession. I found the below stencils on Joann. I may have to check them out in person tonight to see what I can come up with. I predict either genius or a disgusting mess. Hmmmm . . .

Happy 1 Year to Us

Gavin and I celebrated our 1-year anniversary this weekend in RI. I can't believe it's been a year already! He kindly amused me as we drove through Bryant College to look around and then took me to the most fabulous dinner at Hemenways in Providence.

My actual present was the below Eiffel Tower clock. He knows I love anything Paris so this was very fitting and now sits on the table in my living room next to my t.v. Any time there is a commercial, I can look over and think of him!

Go Pier 1

I finally found it, garden furniture for my deck that looks so close to the lovely set from Anthro, but not even close to the Anthro price. Below is the chair (I will be purchasing in white):

And while this is not exactly the table that I want, it is very close and gets the idea.

And the best part, I can buy 2 chairs and the table for less than the table alone at Anthro. I knew if I kept my eyes open (or had good friends like Lindsay who keep her eyes open I should say), I would find it out there. Yay!!!!

Nichole's Room

Since I am currently on a shopping hiatus, I have to live vicariously through others. Today I am "designing" a room for my friend Nichole. By "designing," I mean that she said she has a study / home office painted a light blue, she is setting up and while bored at lunch, I came up with the below things that I wish I could put in a little study. So here goes:

To start, I know she did fall in love with the below chairs from Target (which I have had my eye on for a couple weeks as well. If only I had a place to put them). Two of these for a little sitting area, would be great.

In between the two chairs, LOVE LOVE LOVE this little table from Ballard Designs.

For a desk, she mentioned she might want an armoire so she can hide all the stuff that goes along with an office, papers, notes, computer, printer, etc. I found this nice looking one at Raymour & Flanigan, much less pricey than some of the others I found. I think its clean strait lines would work well with the rest of the furniture, although there is a beyond amazing white one at Ballard too.

I am obsessed with this (Ballard Designs I think) hanging light. You know how I feel about light fixtures. I think it would be great in the room.

And for the floor . . . What about this rug from Pottery Barn?

I would also put this on the wall. I am OBSESSED with Sunburst mirrors:

Well, that is it from this end. I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys the (finally warm) weather!

I MIGHT HAVE TO MARRY THIS TABLE
