girl meets glamour

And then came the double take: "Hey...I've seen something really similar somewhere else...hmmmm." You know what they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...and what do you think? If you were on the other end, would you be flattered??


In my opinion both these lamps have great style even if they are very similar...but maybe not similar in price...



I love the colors in both of these, one with the pink accent and the other orange. Thinking about it though, over the past year of so Pottery Barn has really brought color and life back to their products and I really appreciate that even if there inspiration is easily noticed...

I'm a busy bee lately, this remodel is consuming me, so my posts may be a bit more geared in that direction for the next week or so...


After work, there's more work to be done...I go home and sand walls, paint...you get the drift. And if I'm lucky I get to do the fun stuff like pick out furniture and fabrics!! So, today I was thinking about the console table I'm putting in front of our big window in our living room, and what to put under it...and I love what's done in these photos cause it looks great, but also provides more seating for guests. So console yourself with these interior shots here...

I'm thinking about doing this in my house, because I love this idea. Right now, I've got just plain white walls in our living/dining room space...but to add some life to them I've been looking for ideas that are less expensive and non-permanent (so to speak) and came across these images recently, what do you think? Worth the effort??

Not bad for Ikea right?? With a little hardware, this could be a pretty cute sideboard (maybe check out Anthropologie's hardware line). Sometimes those Scandinavians really surprise me, I guess you just never know, right! Check it out here, selling for $349...
