i'm giving in.

in my attempt to spruce up one of our bathrooms without spending a gajillion dollars...

i've decided on some faux paneling/wainscoting up 3/4 of the wall.

and because of this very j.crew image, i've decided on painting it......

MINT.

it pushed me over the edge.

i know it's everywhere and i sure hope it doesn't get dated fast.

but i'm still in love.

and i'm sure we'll be moved onto our next house by the time that happens, so bring it on.

and because of the same top image, i'm painting the top part of the walls and the ceiling a darker emerald green.

i have an old ornate framed mirror from college that i had originally painted black that hangs above the vanity in there.......

i'm also thinking i'm going to paint it a very fun contrasting color.

3-way tie for the winner.

first up:

canary yellow. 

second and third, we have:

coral/poppy OR blush. 

all of em are seriously delightful.

the floor is getting a new life, too.

in a black and white stripe a la this method i blogged about centuries ago.

yes, it's been in the plans/works since then. sue me.

no, don't. i am just really bad at getting projects done. so.....

yellow or poppy or blush?!?!?!?

spill your thoughts. i wanna hear it.

please.

alot of you do what i do every single day to the blogs i read, and you silently read [and hopefully enjoy what you read] and then move on.......

this time i would like your opinion :)

love you.

rock candy.

these lamps are like eye candy. eye candy that resembles rock candy.

a pair of these could add a serious bit of awesomeness to any room in my house.

they're made by swank lighting.

these in 'teal ice' are me favesies.

but i'd take these in 'ice'.....

and 'emerald' is gooood.

they're made from tumbled recycled glass... i love it when environmentally conscious beauty meets regular old awesome.

this pair is made from tangerine calcite. not recycled, just pulled out of the ground.

 

if you were to say, donate a pair of these lamps to me... i wouldn't turn them away.

shoot, if you showed up with some of this real

rock candy, i wouldn't turn it away either.

happy friday, lovers.
