Etsy Find

I have long loved this bird cage eco-wallpaper available at http://www.wandrlust.com (Woodson & Rummerfield online shop) but alas, could not afford right now.
So, I was looking on Etsy & found it in fabric form: http://www.etsy.com/shop/sewlola!  Much more affordable since I can just get a yard or so.  Can't wait to make some pillows...fabulous!

Dash & Albert, i love you

I have been looking (constantly) for a great indoor/outdoor rug for the living room.  It HAS to be i/o because I have 5 pets that rule the house! Here is just one of the beauties.



No one can touch the selection of gorgeousness at Dash & Albert. Here is another, but not indoor/outdoor.

Before/After Nightstands.

I'm trying to be brave & post on my blog.  It is tough b/c although I love home interiors/design, I'm am still figuring out what I like/don't like & I'm certainly not a designer!

I gave my great-aunt's old nightstands a new look.  Still looking for new/vintage style hardware to change out on them. I refinished the tops & painted the bases a really light gray (can't remember the exact color but is by Benjamin Moore).

Before:
 
(I started painting the sides before I realized I had not taken a "before" pic!)
After:


 

It is hard to tell w/my lack of photo skills but they are now in our bedroom & look a lot better!
