Bungalow 4

I can't believe that ZGalelrie just up and left me.  Well, I guess I can.  It's not like I have bought much from them.  I usually just like to browse through the store and look and get ideas.  But I found some great pillows on their website the other day that I have to have them so I called the store to make sure they had them in stock and the Charlotte store has closed.  Serioulsy!  I still have to have those pillows so shipping charge it is.  I actually placed one order the other day and they arrived last night.  I don't know if you have bought any pillows from ZGallerie before but they are great.  They're large, soft and fluffy and really stylish.  I couldn't be happier with them.  Now I just have to wait for them to ship the second order I placed yesterday for pillows for the playroom.

Here are the ones that came yesterday.

I got 2 of these and they are going to look great with the Chiang Mai pillows I ordered from Etsy.  I just wish they'd get here already.



Here are the pillows I ordered for the playroom. 

I'm loving yellow and gray. They will be perfect.  I can't wait  to lounge on these!

I'll post pictures when I get them all.

Take a look at these really cute necklaces.  You had me at monogrammed.

Have you heard of Chewbeads?  I hadn't until I received one of their bracelets as a gift.  Very very cute and a really creative hostess gift for a baby shower.  (Thanks Bern!)

Talk about arm candy!  These are awesome and really affordable.  Necklaces are under $35 and bracelets are under $15.  I'll take one in every color please.

Have a great Friday!

I don't know about you but I am loving some penny tiles.  I have long been a subway tile kinda girl but lately... I am really digging penny tiles.  Check it out for yourself.



How about ACTUAL Penny Tiles?  Think I love them too.

Yesterday I briefly mentioned wanting these artichoke lamps.  They are to die for but way out of my price range especially since when I buy a lamp I always buy 2.  For symmetry. 

Here are the real artichoke lamps in all there colorful glory. 

And way too expensive.  About $600.00 a piece.

Well, I have these lamps.

I know, I know, pineapples and artichokes are not the same thing, and this lamp isn't as colorful or nearly as wide as the other.  But I was thinking...thanks to Sherry at Young House Love, I can spray paint them and add a nice white drum shade and voila, new lamps.  That's the idea anyway.  I picked up spray paint primer and spray paint on my lunch today.  Hopefully tonight they will start their transformation into.....ORANGE pineapples.  I have a vision.  Hopefully it works but if not there's always lots of other colors to try.

I'll leave you with some more images of my inspiration.

I posted recently about the new couch that I want, but seeing as how it's only available in South Dakota and they will not ship, I will be sticking with my current couch.  It's probably for the best with 2 small boys in the house anyway.  But I am still trying to redo my living room and make it new and fresh.  So, working with what I have will have to do for now. And what I have now is a comfortable but faded red couch.  Here's where new couch pillows come into play.  I have seen this fabric around on the Internet but never really paid that much attention to it until the other day when I realized that it is just what I need to bring my couch back to life.  Now, the fabric these pillows are made with is pretty expensive, but they are only pillows I'm not recovering the whole thing.  And when you think about the cost I'm saving it's a win win. 

I'm in love...schumacher Chiang Mai Dragon in aquamarine.

Here they are.  Lovely.

Maybe add some green trellis fabric...   I would love to add 2 of these artichoke lamps but at $600 a piece, not going to happen.  I do have 2 older gold pineapple lamps that I am thinking about spray painting orange or pink...maybe even yellow and adding white shades.  Who knows.  Anyway, the pillows are on their way to me from Etsy and the rest is a work in progress.  I'll keep you posted!

They also make this fabric as wallpaper. It's just as lovely.  Here's a bathroom redo someone posted using the Chiang Mai Dragon wallpaper in blue.

Do you love bufflao check as much as I do?  Love these pictures.  Gives me lots of ideas!

Such a classic pattern and yet so versatile.

Happy Friday!
