Green with Envy

I have been noticing something lately. Well, okay, maybe my whole life. The thing is, I love the color green. No matter what, it almost always wins. This has nothing to do with the fact that there is this fine color, you might have heard of it, called Kelly Green. I may or may not have thought this color was named after me growing up. And, I may or may not have tried to convince people that I had personal ownership of said color. 

I especially love the color green when used just the right way in a room. Green decor makes me swoon.

Our Pesky Little Shelves

They are going to be the death of me. I have been giving them the eye since I moved in a year ago. A year, I have been looking at these frustrating shelves. 

The thing is, my roommates and I are on a budget. And, it doesn't help that all three of us have very different decorating ideas. So here we are. With these shelves. These lousy, stinkin', no good shelves. 

The sad part is, they have a TON of potential. They could be absolutely amazing. Beautiful! It is just a matter of figuring out what we want to do. 

Here are some of my inspirations at the moment.

I am open to any ideas! 

Leather Shorts?

I have seen these shorts on several blogs, and I think I might like them.

Leather Shorts. I am getting excited for fall. Even more excited for weather that is not in the triple digits.

Plates. They aren't just for eating anymore.

I am loving these plates. I love the use of color and fun patterns that can be made. It is chaos in all its beauty.

A very good possibility for our blank slate dining room. 

Chandeliers. I die.

I've wanted a chandelier for years and years. These are some that have caught my fancy recently.

Teardrop earrings. I love them. They add pizzazz...to your face.  They are just the perfect amount of shimmer and sparkle to make any outfit stand out.Here are some of my favs at the moment. Have you noticed I've been doing some online shopping?  

I would love to hear your favorite!

Style Crush: The Sweet Seat

There is a lot of furniture I love. I think I could literally spend hours in stores like West Elm, Pottery Barn, Anthro, Ikea, etc. The list could go on. There are just so many pretty things in those stores. Is it bad that if I am showing someone around Houston, I make it a point to take them to West Elm? I am a decorating junkie, and I am perfectly okay with this.

For as long as I can remember I have wanted a pretty chair for my room. I have to make a point to say pretty chair. Functional chairs are great, but they just don't do it for me. They practically call you to pile your dirty clothes on them. I know from personal experience. They really ask for it. 

So after college I said "Adios, Chair!" and started coveting these beauties:

I love the colors of this chair. It would match almost any room, and it adds a sense of fun! 

Don't you just want to sit down and relax?

This chair is from the ever-loved West Elm. I love the lines. Smooth and clean. 

This is the chair that gave me the inspiration to want to reupholster a chair. It is GORgeous!

I had to save the best for last! I am completely obsessed with this chair! I have even had Dreams about this chair! If any chair was ever made for me, it is this one right here. 

I will leave you to dream about this last chair.

How about you? Am I the only one out there that becomes obsessive about a good armchair?

Style Crush

I have a crush. I have a lot of crushes. I simply cannot stop thinking about them! The way they look...Oh, that is really nice. The way they make me feel...all calm and relaxed. Mhmm...I am simply head over heels. Swoon central.

No, it is not Prince Harry


...or Blake Griffin,


or even James Lafferty.


No, my dear friends, my crush are these lovely frames.

Monelle Totah

Don't you just want to sit and stare for awhile? Look at those frames...and with the red! Red! My goodness, my heart is all a flutter. I think I might faint. I need this lovely space!

Some thrift store shopping, mixed with a quick trip to Pier1 and Hobby Lobby, finished with a pit stop at Home Depot. Mine, all mine! Unfortunately, I'm on a sealed-tight budget that does not allow for me to redecorate my room every other day. One day I will do it. For now, I will just gawk.

Thursdays will be dedicated to my true love, Interior Design. Hope you enjoy!

P.S. I would love to hear what you love about this room! :)
