expedit questions..

fiona needs shelves. lots of them, because she has over 300 books, 4 huge baskets of big, ugly plastic toys, and 3 huge baskets full of stuffed animals, 3 baskets of activity books and coloring books, 3 boxes of crayons and markers and her closet is full of all the little shit that is too small for shelves that i would like to just throw away but i know that if i do she will request it and then cry b/c mommy threw it away. that's called murphy's law i believe? anyway..expedit...what say you? affordable-yes! good looking- yes! sturdy-?? have any of you used expedit? do you like? tell me your story. or tell me what you like the bestest. just please don't tell me how your kid died trying to climb them. that won't do me at all.

polywhore

at least that's what i feel like after spending pretty much the entire day putting this room together on polyvore. this should have taken maybe 30 minutes? well, it didn't. but what else are you gonna do when you are sick as balls and computer retarded? anyway..i said i was going to fashion a room out of that fuzzy (some might say fugly) pink sofa. well, i did. an entry, specifically. i am a little disappointed at how small it is..so if you want the big effect plus details go here.

i know...

but i actually quite like it. it looks VERY soft and like it might smell like roses. it could work somewhere. as soon as i figure out how to make a moodboard i will fashion a stunning room around this soft, pink sofa. just you wait....oh! anyone know how to do a moodboard on the ol PC?

i think her look says it all...

as in "fuck you bitches ha ha haaaaaaaaaa!!!!!"

while seeing my boyfriend with her makes me want to inject my veins with a super dose of h1n1, i admit that she looks amazingly beautiful.

it's getting closer hookers!!! 2 weeks!!

i'm throwin a wrench in it!

usually everyone's all "oooh shiny shiny!!!" (myself included) but let's consider matte black...

it's damn sexy!

garnet hill item 1

for some reason i get excited when the garnet hill catalog arrives. not sure why, it's usually a bunch of mom clothes and ugly sheets or cute stuff i can't afford (i'm talkin to you eileen fisher bedding), but i do. though i was somewhat pleasantly surprised with the latest fall/winter catalog. particularly this coat. it looks warm. but then i looked again....



and thought she looked a little like one of these:

what do you think? cute? or grub worm?

great find alert!!

if you live in atlanta you could have this retro pyramid table for 150 dollars...

or you could have this jayson h & g george cocktail table for 2,595 dollars....

if i had 150 dollars i would totally buy it. but i don't, so you buy it.

sneak peak!!!

the drawers just got their first coat of farrow and ball's hague blue. and let me tell you this paint is worth every extra penny. it is so glossy and delicious (oil based high gloss) and it paints so smoothly. it is reading a tad lighter in pictures than in person. but it's GORGEOUS!

as soon as it dries (which is taking a COON'S AGE) i will sand that shit down and apply the second coat of love.

does anyone think the sanding between coats is necessary or should i just say fuck it and apply another coat once this one is dry??

hump day

16 days and counting...

shiny metal lamps are good

every time i see a shiny lamp i jizz a little. they add so much to a room- warmth, glamour, shimmer.

gold:

silver:

this is overkill to me. i don't need that much shimmer in one room. i love the lamp but part of the charm and wonder of a shiny lamp is the contrast it adds to the room, there is no contrast here:

i LOVE these lamps. they combine my love of shiny gold and matte black:

brass:

love the fixtures in here. kelly loves to use brass/gold with muted pinks and purples:

lets talk about this room a little. notice how small this room appears to be. but notice the bold use of color and pattern. i love that. what i don't love though, is that damn wallpaper. i love the colors but to me it looks like a dentist's waiting room circa 1973. it just looks dated. i don't necessarily HATE it, i just don't love it. and i think the majority of kelly wearstler's stuff falls into this category. just sayin'. still...shiny lamps kick ASS!
