Just a note:

I'm getting ready to head to Indiana to see my brother before he heads overseas. I'll be gone until late July 1st. Hopefully, I will be on posting overload after that.

Have a great rest of the week!

Skulls & Crossbones

Next to colorful things, I like anything that's a little off kilter. Skulls, crossbones, that sort of thing.


Skull & Bones Dinnerware


Silver Skull Placemats


Silver Skull Coasters


Beaded Skull Placemat


Yorick Votive Holders


Skull Napkin Rings

Peacock Dinner Accessories


Tracy Porter "Artesian" Peacock Salt & Pepper Shakers


Peacock Butterfly Napkin Rings


I love peacocks. Next to the flamingo, they're probably my second favorite bird/animal. So I like my animals colorful too.

Cameo Plaques


Horchow Cameo Plaques


I love the idea of a pair of cameo plaque in a shabby chic bedroom.

Jewelry Stands.

I love jewelry. I have a ton of it that I don't wear (some still with their clearance tags on them; I'm that cheap.) but I can't part with it. I also feel sad that I don't display it. So, my solution is to buy a stand for some of the colorful fun stuff so I can get it in my sight more often and maybe wear it. Here are a few options:


Twig Jewelry Stand


Manzanita Jewelry Tree


Little Birch Jewelry Stand


Sakura Earring Stand

AtHome Lamps

After my AtHome America party, I decided, on a whim, to order a lamp. I ordered this one:


Cypress Stylelight


It's greener than in the picture. And it's huge.

I also liked this one:


Crystal Moon Stylelight Moulin Rouge


That one you can also order with a black shade. I love the vivid red color of the shade, though. (I have one like this from Target in my bedroom, but much smaller.)

Photo Frames

I like pictures. I like displaying pictures and looking at other people's pictures. So I, in turn, like picture frames.


Sausalito Frame


Tangerine Lacquer Frames


Purple Nouveau Jeweled Frames


Fleur Frame


Reclaimed Tin Frames


Reclaimed Wood Frames


Patchwork Wood Frame


4 X 6 Burl Wood Frames


Agate Photo Frames

Votives for Jackson Pollock


1960s Vintage Lawn Chairs
(These make me laugh because I constantly take pictures of my cell phone sitting in tiny chairs, like these.)


Geometrics


Lotus Tealights


Fleur Tealight

Window Coverings.

Curtains are the bane of my existence. I cannot pick anything out that I think looks right or appropriate for a room. BUT, that doesn't mean I have stopped looking at them.


Icon Panel


Brussels Panel


Soleil Panels


Gala Panels


Metro Panel


Canvas Panel

Dishes.


"Polka Dot" Dinnerware

Celebrity Plates


Fuschia Avalon Dinnerware

Fun Child Bedding

Okay, not necessarily "children" bedding, but I love fun rooms for kids. Not necessarily the "primary colors only" kind, but the kind that screams "I have a personality at the age of 18 months!" After awhile, the frilly pink-or-blue seems bland for a toddler that is constantly on the go making funny faces. (But this is just me, of course.)


Denim Bed Linens (Very similar to Pottery Barn's Star Bedding, which is on sale!)


Geography Pillows


Dog Pillows


"Dottie" Quilted Bedding


See, really fun!

Beachy Decor


Porcelain Coral


Shells


Darn Horchow, making me want to spend money.

Another Rug Day

While contemplating replacing our wall-to-wall berber carpet with laminate wood, I realized I would need rugs. So it's my current obsession.


Martha Stewart "Tendrils" Rug


"Damask Print" Rug


"Soho Vines" Rug


"Wymberly" Rug


Martha Stewart "Faux Bois" Rug


They're not all that colorful, but they're certainly fun.
