Discovered these cute owl pillows in a gift shop last night. The price tag was about $15, but I think I can make one for less once we get back home.
The shop had some other owl accents, like carved wooden candle holders and iron wall accents, but I forgot to snag pics.
I have a thing for birds when it comes to home decor. The Portlandia skit could have been written about me.
Lately, my bird fetish can be defined more specifically to an owl obsession.
It’s okay for an adult to make a stuffed animal for herself, right???
The little guy came home with me. He’s the first “blingy” addition to our master bedroom update. Yay!
Pier 1 completely understands (and fuels!) my owl obsession! I came across these tips after I found that mug. And they even have a Pinterest Board dedicated to owls!
Glad I’m not alone in my feathered fetish! 🙂  Do you get on character kicks when you’re decorating your home?
Given the recent fashion trend toward “flashy neutrals” (which I’m completely in love with, by the way), I figured why not apply this same attitude to home decor? I’ve been dreaming of a flashy neutral master bedroom makeover for a while. Metallics, especially in bedding collections, seem so chic and calming, and I can’t imagine anything more perfect than falling into a cool, crisp, shimmering bed after a long day at work.
We were roaming through Macy’s Home department over the weekend when I spotted this collection. I love these tone-on-tone interlocking rings:
And then I nearly made a scene over this shimmery white collection by Martha Stewart. The floral-y inspired print on the duvet is embroidered with a silvery metallic thread. I highly suggest clicking on the link so you can zoom in on this one. The pillow shams in the very back feature a delicate lacy-like detail that is absolutely beautiful. I think my dreams would truly be sweeter if I laid my head down on these pillows every night!!
We’re not really in the market for a whole new bedding collection, but maybe we could swing a metallic armchair like this one. (I’ve seen this pop up recently on Joss and Main!)
If all else fails, how about some new hardware for a dresser or nightstand?
Neon is definitely not part of the current color palette in my home, but that won’t stop me from loving these hot home-decor picks!
These bowls caught my eye a few weeks ago. They conjure up daydreams of a chic beach-side barbeque, complete with freshly made mojitos and homemade guacamole.
For a smaller splash of neon, these coasters would be a great choice. I can picture them on my outdoor table, cozying up to a cold glass of sangria.
I’ve had a thing for chevrons lately. So when I spotted chevrons in a variety of neons, I knew I was in love!
If you’re a little nervous about adding even small splashes of neon throughout your home, start with your closet! A neon top, belt, or even a fresh coat of nail polish in a vibrant hue gives you the freedom to test it out without a ton of commitment.
What’s on your wishlist this week?
Lately, I’ve been admiring the Pouf Trend, and specifically, the Moroccan-style leather poufs. Whenever they pop up on Joss and Main, which is often, I gaze longingly at the array of colors and toy with the idea of adding one to my cart. The only problem is that I have no idea where I would put one in our house. I’m starting to convince myself that it would be a great stand-in for an accent table between the two accent chairs in our family room, but I’m not sure Tom’s on board with that idea yet.. So, I guess I’ll continue to dream for a while! In the meantime, I’ve pulled together a few different poufs for your viewing pleasure. Let’s start with a traditional style…
Lookin’ sassy in metallic! Moroccan pouf by John Derian Company
Or, you can go for a different shape and fabric all together! I like that this feels like a modern evolution of a bean bag chair. And the print is pretty amazing, too.
A fabulous grey and ivory print at West Elm
If you prefer a more traditional ottoman, why not get one that doubles as storage? I’ve seen some that come with built-in pockets for shoe storage. Sounds like a perfect accent for a custom closet or dressing area! (and yes, I’m hoping to add one to my closet someday)
Fashionable and functional? How nice! This beauty was found at Joss and Main
