Looking for inspiration for my dining room I keep going back to Anna's office from Door Sixteen. My floors aren't white and never will be cause I rent but the wainscoting on the bottom half of the wall is, so I think I can get away with painting the top half dark, the question is do I really want dark walls in an already dark room? I love this wallpaper as well but again, I rent. I'm having a lot of difficulty making the dining room a room rather than a really wide pass through into the kitchen. Maybe I'm just over thinking everything.
I was just perusing big cartel and fell in love with these feather "kitchen linens" from herriott grace. I'm all for less paper towels in the world.
I couldn't choose just one band to share today so here are two of my fav new records out last month. First the latest release Penny Sparkle from Blonde Redhead, finally no more wondering what they've been up to for the past few years, second Halcyon Digest from Deerhunter, all I can say is...love. Enjoy!
Yesterday evening = magic. It was warm and dreamy out, the sky turned all shades of pink, we heard thunder in the distance and all of a sudden there was lightning and a light drizzle, and to top it all off a coyote decided it was a nice night to take a stroll down our street. I'm pretty sure he gave me a little smile as he walked by our house. Happy...
I love my cowboy boots but sometimes feel like they were such a big trend that I can't wear them anymore. Am I crazy? Anywho I found these fantabulous boots at Need Supply Co. and thought they're the perfect combo of a short Frye motorcycle boot and a cowboy boot so therefore are okay to wear...and had to buy them! Oh also I was thinking of dying them black but we'll see, the gray looks pretty awesome too.
I know this doesn't really count a "music" per say but I was talking with my man and found out he had never seen these GI Joe PSA spoofs...so naturally I had to share them here. They make me laugh, I hope they do the same for you!
The perfect pants for fall...if it ever comes. I saw these on my sister and can't wait to get a pair for myself.
Ok so here are a couple of projects that I recently finished. First Ali's dog bed. We got her a new round pouf but she really doesn't like it (she likes to stretch out). She gets really happy whenever we bring the old uggo one out, I hate the thing but Justin seems to think our dog's comfort is of some importance. As a compromise I drove on down to Michael Levine bought some faux bois fabric and made a cover out of something I think I can live with. I wish I could have found a fabric just a touch darker so it really blends in with the floor. (umm ignore how dirty I let the wall get in the before photo...eww on me)
Next the bench. I bought this old bench a few years back with the intention of fixing it up, only I didn't really know how to go about it. Instead of researching wood stains and all that jazz (it's really poorly made why waste my time) I took the black paint left over from the teepee design and just painted the thing and sprayed the legs with Krylon spray paint in matte back. I think it gives the little guy new life. One more step in the process of making my home less frumpy and one more thing I get to check off the list!
...I love lists...
