sludge....

don't let the title of this post scare you away.
i have been reading Abigail Ahern's blog for some time
and she loves to talk about these sludge colored walls.
i love the idea of inky sludge walls.

i was looking at images i pinned to my pinterest 
boards and realized that i had been pinning 
quite a few images of rooms with inky sludge
colored walls and how yummy they are.
they truly are divine!

i guess you can say Abigail may have been
inspiring me without me realizing it.














so go out and paint your walls inky sludge
and feel the yumminess.

fashion....

i have a very LARGE soft spot
for fashion,
not just any fashion but 
the extraordinary
and 
the vintage.

if my life was the type
that i could "dress" 
everyday i would.

oh, to wear beautiful dresses,
hats and amazing heels.
mmm.....

of course i would still need a day
or two in jeans and leather.

it's the devil and angel thing....
tattoos and denim on one side,
pink cocktail dresses and killer heels on the other.

the extraordinary....



 denim....



the leather....


the heels....


the vintage....
i'm so close to having this look in
my closet. 
i just need the extraordinary.

floors....

my friend kayko has been working on redoing
her basement.
we started talking the other day 
about how she could decorate it 
so that it would function as her studio but
also a comfortable place to hang out.

she has a concrete floor
that is a challenging color.
it needs to be a place she 
can easily pick up and clean 
but she still wants color and comfort.

it got me thinking about
floors....


Layering....

FLOR tiles....
source


graphic....
source


natural grasses....
source


kilim....
source


classic....
source


painted....
source


 plush and saturated color....

source


skins....
source


the floor coverings anchor your room,
it can pull it all together,
make separate areas
and finish it.

how do you accessorize your floors?
