And lately, I've been preoccupied with other things, like my impending unemployment (which I am not at all sad or worried about, just wishing for it to hurry up and get here! Government Assistance, here I come!). So basically I'm behind on anything decor-related. Made a stop over at my go-to home decor blog, Apartment Therapy and saw this bathroom in Wes and Kayla's home tour:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhERUtcIGsDgbo5gNeFFFmnwU4PRZZkqmFuqyRupp5rMduaPLuMQdR3tG4CtNb2INVGF1WYpjg-zbXrqeek29YatwcgjyG8BDI5sb6QVJrKhbwrmygUTeiHPgAbWfpSSnlOavbWAcwy4Wg/s1600-h/28_Bathroom_rect640.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhERUtcIGsDgbo5gNeFFFmnwU4PRZZkqmFuqyRupp5rMduaPLuMQdR3tG4CtNb2INVGF1WYpjg-zbXrqeek29YatwcgjyG8BDI5sb6QVJrKhbwrmygUTeiHPgAbWfpSSnlOavbWAcwy4Wg/s320/28_Bathroom_rect640.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400316724377089058" border="0" /></a><br />Isn't it lovely? This bathroom is laid out basically the same way mine is, and although mine is currently unicorns-and-rainbows pink, I think it could work. It makes the room come alive! Like a spring day. I never really cared for this shower curtain before, it felt rather ubiquitous to me, but now I kind of want it... Do i really want to spend 50 bucks on a Marimekko shower curtain?? With all the colors flying around the bathroom, it's starting to feel like an Almodovar movie in there :)<br /><br />Pic: Apartment Therapy house tour, <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/boston/wk-house-tour-100241"><span style="font-style: italic;">Wes, Kayla, and Bacon's Brookline Remix</span></a>Lauren M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05481205569167445314noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278444135821516737.post-74252696221328400352009-10-04T08:07:00.000-07:002009-10-04T08:13:54.365-07:00More Bedroom Inspiration.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2-AnwV0_U3qSneVQeI22YiZhb_H4WpcLJFy2Yns9wh94_HugjyQDoqbtdJxRttZlQAMGEezjKZo1qtabKgr2g7H_4nZfI5jSKN1ctRssPe5lKa6PJiKskvx2tHcgIGdf4rsPeOkW6Gl8/s1600-h/jw1_rect540.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2-AnwV0_U3qSneVQeI22YiZhb_H4WpcLJFy2Yns9wh94_HugjyQDoqbtdJxRttZlQAMGEezjKZo1qtabKgr2g7H_4nZfI5jSKN1ctRssPe5lKa6PJiKskvx2tHcgIGdf4rsPeOkW6Gl8/s320/jw1_rect540.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388762368819744818" border="0" /></a><br />Obviously, I'm about ready to do the damn thing in the bedroom.

I love this bathroom. I bet those double windows open to an amazing view of the city. Anywhoo, this is good design inspiration for small spaces- custom made Italian sink with storage, and that cool medicine cabinet. I love that both the sink and the medicine cabinet don't (seem) to have any sharp edges, with the curves of the sink, and the mirroring of the sides of the cabinet. Hot! Not a huge fan of that 'Lego' tile, but it looks good with the other finishes...<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Image from Tech Tour: Studio in the Heart of Paris, via Unplggd</span>Lauren M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05481205569167445314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278444135821516737.post-338373215871110742009-09-08T13:54:00.000-07:002009-09-08T14:00:02.016-07:00Baskets as hanging art...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjblSAC6LCRM5RaLs2CaODuC9D6bOdaiFM3bOj3rQ3GGanXFgSzSBYcB9CZXDGRBwtzhcJEQI8cegKBw2bt61fD0krF5BSgDyU42ydiT4IBYaFvHeG4JtKNN6Mzl2-NKa-f_n-r2JS0uoo/s1600-h/linn1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjblSAC6LCRM5RaLs2CaODuC9D6bOdaiFM3bOj3rQ3GGanXFgSzSBYcB9CZXDGRBwtzhcJEQI8cegKBw2bt61fD0krF5BSgDyU42ydiT4IBYaFvHeG4JtKNN6Mzl2-NKa-f_n-r2JS0uoo/s320/linn1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379203650703337986" border="0" /></a><br />I think someone did a post about this awhile back, maybe on Apartment Therapy? But this pic was staring me in the face today as I perused Design*Sponge, and I think it's a great idea. A way to add some quick texture and interest to the walls. My mom totally did it in the 80's... in fact, I wonder where the baskets she had are today? They were huge! It's definitely more bedroom inspiration to add to the vault. I would love to get some baskets with history, which requires some looking... Also love that black lampshade, been looking for one of those to fit my dumb long-necked lamp forever!<br /><br />Pic from Design*Sponge's <span style="font-style: italic;">Sneak peak: Linn Gresham</span> post.

I have enough room for this cool drop leaf table I found, but not much room for chairs to go around it. Hence my search for red or orange armless chairs (or possibly maybe metal stools) so that the table can be used for dining. Of course I can't afford the true apple of my eye- this Marais cafe chair from DWR (ha!) in Vermillion. It is currently on sale, but for 200 bucks. Which is about 150 more than I really want to spend. It's so lovely though, isn't it?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCoP1j0SYPz6gmsRg1CcmRVKvac1pCBFy1IiQbFfw9AzwX44l9EhBuwt7kxET4yOiscq3Vhr6G6g0vV9HOXaZMY28KPcWh6AplvhgXDEhZZIgPBsNm7F7wkwmrESMFSpfen6kEmYlOgmQ/s1600-h/15034_red.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCoP1j0SYPz6gmsRg1CcmRVKvac1pCBFy1IiQbFfw9AzwX44l9EhBuwt7kxET4yOiscq3Vhr6G6g0vV9HOXaZMY28KPcWh6AplvhgXDEhZZIgPBsNm7F7wkwmrESMFSpfen6kEmYlOgmQ/s320/15034_red.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345377646278325634" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Other options include:<br /><br /><div class="header"> The Bryce Adjustable Bar Stool from Pottery Barn, 149.99 (still too expensive, but cool)<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWTs2qLiWk7wYyWP3yoNvU1UADq_bi-C5T_nJMcizhDjWEpETm_lhp_IGU_oJ5JaZ6e5K3M3wBJRCFKGmoF7GG1P10uh_Aim8fzLL27rInKADED7ZrbwNdWTmvIg257zH6OXNUzLSNSAU/s1600-h/img74m.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 287px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWTs2qLiWk7wYyWP3yoNvU1UADq_bi-C5T_nJMcizhDjWEpETm_lhp_IGU_oJ5JaZ6e5K3M3wBJRCFKGmoF7GG1P10uh_Aim8fzLL27rInKADED7ZrbwNdWTmvIg257zH6OXNUzLSNSAU/s320/img74m.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345378363611043202" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Or the Jake Chair in orange from Room and Board, $79:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpz83dOoLg-yLLpglPcw9qmhw52Nw645P2i5iHozInpab9QKK1Vsb7Zffa3JBeGndWHJ5IaAVdLDwditNbnoGELbpW4P_eudCGdjeJ3pl9JQh4Q3m6d18K49MSNoWygsxWl6xibGgGMFM/s1600-h/plywood_chair_roomandboard.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 249px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpz83dOoLg-yLLpglPcw9qmhw52Nw645P2i5iHozInpab9QKK1Vsb7Zffa3JBeGndWHJ5IaAVdLDwditNbnoGELbpW4P_eudCGdjeJ3pl9JQh4Q3m6d18K49MSNoWygsxWl6xibGgGMFM/s320/plywood_chair_roomandboard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345381313999994002" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The Air Chair from DWR, on sale for $98...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhifz4yCwO4Vdc3Zpxr_N5TiqSdp3tu6YJuarXJTz26t7w6sRsg1BaiLcfB-EBGyhN_YWxLrPFaHqHAc52p1nQqpq7GtYQw-7580X8SmQu-oFMC2c6YBPViTDoFM-BwXKdQzed3fKPTjmw/s1600-h/f_0765.jpeg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhifz4yCwO4Vdc3Zpxr_N5TiqSdp3tu6YJuarXJTz26t7w6sRsg1BaiLcfB-EBGyhN_YWxLrPFaHqHAc52p1nQqpq7GtYQw-7580X8SmQu-oFMC2c6YBPViTDoFM-BwXKdQzed3fKPTjmw/s320/f_0765.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345383782022595666" border="0" /></a><br />But guess what I'll probably go with?
