Wallpapering my endtables!!

there are so many wallpaper choices and since i need such a small amount, I can spend a bit more money. I have been digging this anthropologie wall paper for a while now. It is $150 a roll.

I really love this wallpaper company from NY, Cavern Home. They are very architectural and unique. Here are some of my favorites. I need to make sure that my pattern is small though cause the space is small and i want everyone to be able to see the repeat. this may be a bit large for my tables, but I love the colors and the pattern.

If you like wallpaper I really suggest looking through Julia Ziegler Haynes wallpaper on Cavern Home in the designer series. She has such great stuff.

i am really into florals this season of course. There is an overload of them from clothes to home accessories. this paper is from Graham and Brown and only $25 a roll. I like the gold color but I think there may be too much white for my tables. But at that price, I could change them every year!

This is a great color, the repeat* is still really large though and I am looking for something with a smaller design.

*repeat- the vertical distance between one point on the pattern to the identical point vertically

Forever 21 decor

I was in F21 the other day (my favorite place on Earth) and I was working my way through their heaps of cheap jewelry when I spotted these great paper mached heads. I snapped some iPhone pic's and I plan to recreate this one day.




Aren't they cute! Would you paper mache the heads or do you think you would choose soemthing more subtle like balls or a vase?

West Elm Finds

I went to West Elm today with a friend who asked for some help accessorizing. Really this is so flattering she asked me I was beside myself to help and took my job very seriously. I really hope she had fun and feels good about her purchases today!

West Elm is having a great sale. They have got some great accessories-

this little tray is AMAZING!

right now it is $49.00 so I will keep my eye on it and wait for it to go on sale.

I did find this little bowl (in turquoise):
I really love it!! it is being displayed on my coffee table now!

i also got this little blue chevron plate and a tray/outdoor dinner plate for my bedside table!


I'll post my friend accessories soon! Such fun!

by the way- I got this all for under 20 dollars! Yay me!

Couch Upgrade

When I moved in with my husband, he had a condo and it was furnished with all leather everything and dark wood everthing else. We have been married for a little over a year and I have almost transformed/replaced everything except for his leather couch.


Here are the pros of this couch. It is leather and there is a certain someone (my 90 LB dog, Hank) that loves to lounge on there. I can just wipe the couch down and he can't destroy it which is a must.

here is Hank the couch monster:

So, I want to replace it with leather. I love Lee Industries sofas. They sell them at Crate and Barrel and some great boutiques in Austin.


I love the arms of this couch and the camel colored leather. I think camel looks great with everything and is such a pleasing color. Of course I wouldn't use the pillows But they could be a really cool look for a bedroom as an accent. So I'll store them in our guest closet and Jeff (partner in crime) can try and sneakily give them to goodwill every six months
