Pretty Pretty

Grace over at Design Sponge posted images yesterday from Michael Penney's house from Canadian House and Home. I quickly discovered that Penney has a blog at CH&H. I love his style and his thrifting tips! I'm so in love with these images that I had to post them, too!

Turquoise is hands-down my favorite color. Or is it aqua? Both! I think his rooms are more aqua, or robin's egg blue. I am smitten. Terribly. Seriously.











Please stop being so beautiful...

Paint Paint Paint!

Where to start? I've lived in the same apartment for 4 years. Just the other day, my fiance says "why don't we paint, we've lived here 4 years." Or something along those lines. In my past apartments, I've painted one accent wall in the living room. Now I'm thinking, why not paint the whole living room/dining room combo (one open space)?

But what color? I want something soft and fairly easy to paint back over. I have neutral colors in my rooms (mostly dark wood, tan couch, etc.). But I do have buttery gold curtains, and a lime green couch with pops of turquoise around and a little cranberry. So I'm thinking a nice tan/beige but something that still stands out.

Here are some pictures of my living/dining area. Please help!

Things that make you go hmmm....

Okay, I love me some Apartment Therapy, like every day I check it love it.

But this posting is just ridiculous! I mean seriously, you can still tell it's a dishwasher...



And I also love me some zebra print, but come on. I think I want a decal of a toilet seat just to mix it up.

Appliance art, my ass. I guess I'm in a bad mood.

Style Me Pretty rocks! It's the best site for wedding ideas and has some of the most amazingly gorgeous images.

Here is one wedding by Alders Photography. I love all the vintage, handmade touches. I especially love the colors of pink and light blue.
