paint and railings

i'm always looking for closet solutions - love this, but most of my shoes are flats.

via apartment therapy

somewhere between

a sea anemone and a chrysanthemum with a little sea urchin thrown in for good measure.
who doesn't need one?

via an email from a friend. (sorry, i don't have the original source)

oversized

via abundance

more sofas to salivate over

the legs should be more ornate, but love the beautiful aged silk velvet.
(sorry, i can't remember where i found this one)

via head over heels

i'm a low maintenance hair kind of girl but...

via rara avis

another flower

and some wild windswept hair (the inside of my head feels a lot like that hair today)
via creativadoration

extra seating

who doesn't want these anthropologie chairs for extra seating? but at $198 a pop they are unlikely to find their way into my house.

the diy apartment therapy version.

i have a pair of blond wood chairs with uncomfortable seats that my husband bought
long before we were married. an upgrade is in order.

i'm thinking chinese blue or vermilion red instead of black.
depends on exactly what is in my exotic textile collection right now...
