Brandon Must Really Love Me

…to put up with the things I do around here sometimes.
Here’s my furniture warehouse. Er, I mean the dining room and living room.

And then there’s the guest room upstairs which has been in shambles for the past week.

He’s been making fun of me because apparently, at some point, I boasted to him about how […]

Another New Dining Room Table (& Chairs)

Whoops. Just over a month after I bought a new dining room table, I’ve purchased another. With six chairs.

Sorry for the poor picture quality – I only had my cheapie little digital camera with me. Look at that table base though!

I’m about a week too late to return the other table, so […]

Currently Coveting: ZigZags

ZigZag Pillow, Design Public
ZigZag Brown & White Rug, Madeline Weinrib
Mimas Wallpaper, Romo

I’ve ordered a sample of that wallpaper, which is my new favorite. Not too feminine, not too masculine, dark but not overwhelming, no flocking or foil, graphic but timeless… it may just be perfect.
I have, of course, created a mockup.

It looks even better […]

New Dining Room Table

I alluded to our new table earlier this month, and my patterned vase was photographed on it, but I hadn’t taken any proper pictures until this morning.

Brandon and I had a number of gift cards to west elm and Pottery Barn from Christmas, so we decided to combine them for a more spendy […]

We do need a spot to put our mail, keys, spare change, and the like. Our home doesn’t have a true entryway (the one […]

Brandon’s Office, Updated

I made just a few changes to Brandon’s office…

First, a big thank you to everyone for your input (White Molded Chairs)! We chose option #3, and the old broken chair was replaced with IKEA’s Jakob swivel chair. As I had mentioned before, this isn’t a true home office – Brandon only sits there […]

I Bought Wallpaper

Yes, I finally found (and bought) wallpaper for the dining room. I’m thrilled, but I have a feeling that some people will not like my choice nearly as much as I do!
First, let me share my absolute favorite wallpaper. It’s in a photo from Veer, so there’s no actual information available on it.

Now, […]

Too much?

I’ve been playing around with a photo that I pulled from Benjamin Moore’s “personal color viewer”. The wall color for the living room (wild aster) and the kitchen (bronzed beige) are there, and then I’ve been swapping out different wallpapers for the dining room. Photoshop + me = true love 4ever.
Yes, I sort […]
