A Few Fun Finds

And by it, I don't mean McDonalds ( although I do love me some McFlurrys...m&m plz ).  I'm talking bout this wallpaper: via Peppermint Bliss  Focus your lil eyes on the silver beauty.  From afar, I'm all like what is that weird fancy schmany pattern? Don't know if I'm on board.  But then if you look rillllll close, you'll be amazed. Promise. Pinky swear.  Seeeeee: What? Oil rigs?! Cowboys? Horses? FOOTBALL HELMETS ?! Shut the front door.  I mean what Texan wouldn't love this? Not to mention it's the perfect amount of boyish, so fiance obviously approves.  And it comes in all sorts of lovely shades. Ooo la la. 

It's just Tuesday and I'm already BURSTIN' with inspiration. Just bursting . Filled to the brim.  Like the two cups of coffeeeeeeeeeee I had this morning. Calm down, Ryann .  Ya see, our tile samples we ordered came in last Friday (sidenote: it felt like Christmas morning!!!! minus the mimosas and stockings).  And Brett & I sat down to pick out our faves and to eliminate the why-did-she-send-us-those ones.  Within the goods was this penny tile that is just so dainty, simple, and perf for what our Guest Bathroom will look like. She will go on da floor. The walls will be dressed in Hague Blue by Farrow and Ball.  This ain't just any ole paint peeps. It's HIGH GLOSS Hague Blue....swoon.  I gosta show y'all some pics so you can get the full effect: Miles Redd Elle Decor Amaze. And a big, big thanks to Peppermint Bliss who blogged about this wallpaper. It shall go on the ceiling of the GB: AND...... I don't think ya ready for dis jelly .....

My eyes hurt.  I've been cropping, dragging, copying, pasting & trying-to-get-the-dang-word-doc-to-convert-to-a-jpeg for the last two hours.  Le sigh.  After all my trials and tribulations, this is the final inspiration board my tired lil head put together: I didn't have time to number each one and reveal my sources.  But I'm hoping it will go a little something like this...... Benjamin Moore Grey paint for the walls, yum .  The bed will have a tufted brown leather headboard and the bedding will be all black and white with a hint of grey.  Main duvet and pillows are black Leontine Linens, monogrammed, ob-vee-uss-lee.  Accent pillow in Greek key print from Etsy.  The sheets will also have a Greek key trim in white.  See what I did there?  Over the bed will hang a lovely, dainty Starburst mirror from Crate and Barrell to pop against the grey wall.  To go along with the black and white beddings, the curtains will have the same thang goin on.  For the side tables, I&#

char·treuse: a pale yellow or green color resembling liquer made from brandy. Sounds like my kinda color.  Since I did my original post on our flowery/pinkish/green powder room, I have learned that the wallpaper is discontinued. No longer in service.  Out of commission. Caput. Sayanara suckers. So I shall start from scratch.  I'm actually happier with this room than the original.  The inspiration in theeeeeees beauty: Sillhouettes are so-hot-right-now in the design world.  And these boys and gals are chartreuse so it's PERF.  If we went with green in the dining room + gray in the kitchen, this would make for the most wonderfullest combo of the two. Dontcha think? Tack on some of these Anthro goodies to the door: LET THERE BE LIGHT: Z-Gallerie And get this, she is only SEVENTY-NINE bones. 79!!!!! Rill nice, rilllllll nice. On another note, totally unrelated..... I have my first alterations fitting manana for my dream dress.  And of course that means today

Ohmygawd. Double ohmygawd.  Peeps, you have now met a celebrity.  A REAL LIFE CELEBRITY.  I introduce you to the Birdcage Bedroom.  By Miles Redd (we'll come back to him lata).  Featured in Domino Magazine.   Throughout all my recent adventures into the blogging world, I have come to know that this room is famous among interior designers.  But, these are my confesssioooonssss (U-S-H-E-R-R-A-Y-M-O-N-D nowtellmewhatyouwannado ): It wasn't love at first sight. Yeah, I admit it.  But the more I pondered it, the more I was like I can TOTALLY redo this room ala budget friendly ways.  The more research I did, the more I got to learn about budgeting "designer" rooms.  And it made me all giddy inside, reaallll giddy.  I can so see this room as a guest room at our new casa (please babe, pwetty pwetty pleaaaaaaase).  Without further adieu..... The wallpaper: the real thang is just not happening.  The birds are De Gourney and they are $650 per panel MINIMUM.  I mean really?

But seriously.  I mean it's not even Halloween...is it bad that I'm already drafting my "dream" X-mas list?  That's what happens when you rummage the internets and come across something that you just HAVE TO HAVE.  Then you click on it and you're all like YESSSSSSS, I have found where you came from.  Then you scroll down and see it. Right there....they want HOW MUCH for HOW MANY COOKIES?  Psh, I can get that Ikea for half the price.  But you know you really can't.  That's when I add it to my dream list.  So folks, here it is, in all it's unattainable glory.

I just would like to give a big, fat, juicy THANK YOUUUU, GRACIAS, MERCI to everyone who offered their help and support after my last wallpaper crisis post.  We couldn't be more thankful and excited that this "bump in the road" wasn't so bad after all :)
