It's Love!!

I just don't know what I love more, Rih Rih's look last night...

 I mean she nailed it!!

or this wallpaper from Anthropologie...

Truth be told, I actually think I might love the wallpaper a tad bit more.  

Done!

Amidst the chaos of getting ready for the holidays and training a new puppy, my powder room was finally wallpapered.

the before...

and the after...

I need a few more accessories but that will have to wait until January.

ho ho ho, it's crunch time!!

Powder Room Redo

One of the joys (or possibly downsides) of owning a home is the constant renovations and updating that goes on.  I am elbow deep in redoing my son's room but got sidetracked in the process.  I was at the paint store picking out a color for his walls, when I just casually started flipping through one of my favorite suppliers of wallpaper's book...

I saw this wallpaper and immediately knew this had to go somewhere in my house.

It took all of 5 seconds for me to decide that this paper would be perfect for my powder room.  The red is fine but it really does not flow well with my colors.  This room is right off my kitchen and now that my cabinets are blue it really clashes and is too bright.

I've always said decorating is a slippery slope, you do one room, which leads to another room, which lead to another.  Good thing it's a slippery, but really fun slope!!

Ch Ch Changes...

Now that all 3 of my kids are back in school, it is time to get to work.  Summer is the most unproductive time for me, if it is a sunny day we will be at the pool.  I barely find the time to go to the grocery store, so getting things done around the house just never happens.  That all changed yesterday when the third and final child had his first day of school.

The kids were all out the door by 8 am and my friend, the decorator, showed up at 11 to help me tackle my first project...redoing my son's room.  We decided on horizontal stripes for the walls...

complete with a "lounging area"...

we also looked at wallpaper for my first floor powder room,  I am definitely leaning towards the trellis/ikat papers...

of course the first thing I will do in my house every morning...
