paint chips.

how beautiful is this paint chip art by zipper 8 design? though i am not going to lie...this just might be an idea that i steal ;)

i think the monochromatic ones are my favorite...

oh and i have something exciting i have been working on to share with you soon...i am hoping maybe sometime next week.......

brita sweden.

i thought these photographs were pretty sweet...a great way to sell their rugs...i just wish they had more photos like this!

ruffle duvet.

i want this. almost as much as i want this very similar shower curtain i blogged about awhile ago.

hooks.

okay this is kinda immature...but it was way too funny to not buy :)

i also like that on the receipt it called them hook asses...funny it isn't labeled that on ikea's website!

this & that.

i had posted about this fun blogging idea from one of my favorite bloggers oh joy! awhile back...and i thought it was time to share some more of them that i have been saving up!

 

{i want that green sequin dvf dress sooooo badly - love.}

star lanterns.

these are so pretty! they are made of heavy watercolor paper that has been painted with a small led light on the inside...they would look so pretty on a mantel!

beach balls.

these are super fun for the summer! i agree with some of the comments from the post over on apartment therapy that they are maybe a tad too themed for everyday use, but i still find them pretty sweet!

chalk boards.

i saw this image on a blog post the other day about chalkboards...this is such an awesome image...with even the carpet drawn in - plus i love the headboard!

patio.

i don't usually love vintagey stuff...but these chairs are definitely changing that! love the colors and styles...i would give you the link for them over at anthropologie...but by the time i got a chance to blog about them, they were all sold out! can't image why? hahaha

sherwin williams.

i saw these ads the other night while i was once again browsing magazines at b&n! i thought they were very cute and did a good job of displaying the different paint colors! fun!

pillow.

LOVE this pillow fabric...it really makes me want to sew a pillow!

land carpet.

these are so unique! they are rugs from a series called 'land carpet' and they are topographic maps of different counties...made of carpet! i love how the heights vary depending on the "crop" the rugs are depicting...very cool!

in order from top to bottom are: europe (my fav!), africa, netherlands, and usa.

stairs.

love this unexpected pop of color!

decorating.

i thought this was some good decorating advice...

livingstones.

these are so cool. find them here.

pulley lamps.

this is such a great idea...i know that people use their kitchen tables for a lot of different things - so it would be nice to have adjustable lighting! very nice.

you can see more photos of this and purchase it here.

"wallpaper".

these are such great ideas to add some flavor to your walls! these are especially good ideas for rental places where you aren't allowed to paint...i will definitely try this if i am ever in that situation!

this first idea uses contact paper and you can see the exact details of how to do it here!

this second idea is my favorite...it is very subtle! for this one they used japanese masking tape - which comes in millions of colors and even patterns! i saw how to do this here!
