inspiration friday

I am digging the color trends for fall 2012. So colorful but totally timeless as well.

And I am obsessed with this room. Love it!

I would do just about anything for these white cabinets. Seriously try me.

Kirsten did an amazing job on her son Jett's room. 

But my favorite thing is easily the way she painted the inside of the frames in her diy cloud art. It's total genius and I will be copying it soon.

I hope you are as inspired as I am. Have a great weekend!

painted baskets

I'm sure many of you have seen these spray painted baskets floating around Pinterest lately. I really love them! I am guessing the spray paint will make the baskets super durable. That would all be my own theory though. 

I'm pretty sure I am going to try this out with gold spray paint. And I am really excited about it! I will get three to corral the toy situation I have going up in our loft. Because...it's killing me! It's pretty much that big boring brown couch and toys. I'm sick of the laundry basket holding them currently. Very impressive I know. And these will be much cheaper and faster than that wall of built ins in my head. Winning! {huh, I don't think I've ever said that before!}

I really loved her dipped baskets as well. But let's face it, the spray paint will be so much easier! And I think fancier too.

I wish that I was doing this tomorrow but it will be all garden, all weekend long in my neck of the woods. What are your plans this weekend? I hope it's something awesome!

let's be copycats

Did you see this gorgeous chair in your latest Anthro catalog?

I did and I ripped that page right out. I think this beautiful, hand painted chair would be pretty easy to duplicate.

some gold leather paint

And I'd say you've got yourself a pretty fancy smancy chair!

I think this could be especially nice on some dining chairs as well. Maybe just the two end chairs.

And it could save you about $1,300. Not too shabby. And the possibilities are endless.
