My newest Obsession: Milk Glass

Been really loving the white milk glass lately. Very vintage- and I'm into that!



They look stunning grouped together with some flowers...

Or no flowers, and just simply grouped. Easy, elegant

Tons of different varieties...

For every occasion...

Chic storage containers



Or functional pieces with a purpose...

And how yummy is this door handle?!?! Gorgeous!

My newest Obsession: Nailhead Trim

What a great way to add pizzaz to any boring piece! It brings in just enough character!






I love the way the different patterns and designs look on an ottoman! So chic, and glamorous!


Adding nailhead trim to any table is divine! I love the way it looks!

Without the trim, this chair was okay- but now its WOW! Isabella and Max Rooms


I love the swirl designs! I am going to have to keep this idea tucked away for sure!

Newest Obsession: Crochet

When I was younger, I remember sitting at a table during recess and crocheting a blanket for my dolls. Ya, I was that kid. It was just such a soothing activity, and I love being able to keep my hands busy and watch a movie, or tv show, or talking with a friend and cup of coffee- its just fun for me. Anyways, I ended up stopping at some point in time and took a very extended break from it. That is, until recently...

I simply had a random craving to crochet. It really is amazing just how many cool projects are out there, and how many talented people are out there as well! I found a couple things that I would love to try to make...

Craft Stylish
Ring bracelet- easy enough!

Creative Yarn
Lotus Flower Cuff- Must learn how to make!

Creative Yarn
Headband with Flower

Craftstylish
Button-Bedecked headband

Craftstylish
Crochet flowers, and how to embellish them

Aprils Junk
Wrist warmer



And, a peek at what I'm currently working on...

It has been my complete obsession over the past couple days, and I have been working at it non-stop every minute I get. Simple enough, and extremely entertaining!

My newest Obsession: Damask Pattern

Been keenly eying this pattern a lot lately. I love how its intricate, yet bold, and fun, yet classy it is. All the way around, its a great pattern!


This room is a little too pink for my own personal taste, but I do enjoy looking at it. Some day, I am going to own chairs just like these ones (maybe a different color- but if somebody handed these ones to me, I would be much grateful and keep them!)


This image from Decor Pad, is one of my all time favorite images. That gold damask wallpaper in those panels is to die for! I am really interested in seeing that other pink and gold piece of furniture too...

Damask drapes really bring in the drama! *These would be cute in a teenage girls room*

Damask martini glass and shaker. Sophistication to the max! From This Next

I adore ANY damask rug. It doesn't really matter the color, size, shape- I love them all! They really bring the pattern into any room, but are still subtle, and gentle at the same time. Isn't this play room from Bungalow Insanity fabulous! I just love the green walls, with the pink lamps- and that pic in the middle is ADORABLE!

Damask Lamp shades from Shades of Light
*Keeping a mental note of this* When I get tired of my boring white lamp shade, this would be a great upgrade- or for the lamp I am going to make for the bedroom could be spiced up with this lovely pattern.

Mirrored Damask votive holders are a great addition to any space! They are especially festive too! Found at Style Unveiled







Damask wall decals from Etsy
I would love these above my bed! Its a great alternative to wallpaper, especially if you are a renter- like me











Reclaimed wood frame. This would be a really fun and cool project to do! I'm sure it could be made pretty easily, and would make a great holiday gift to a loved one with a cute pic inside! Found at Green Your Decor













Glass Damask Tile Magnets from Etsy
Talk about a stylish way to add glam to your fridge!

My newest Obsession: Hammered metal lamps

Simply cannot get enough of them... They catch my eye everytime!

Neiman Marcus textured lamp

Mirror Sphere Lamp by Horchow

Declan table lamp by Crate and Barrel

Hammered Silver table lamp by Furniture in Fashion

I love all the different shapes they come in too! They texture of the base is perfect for any space, and you can keep the lamp simple with a solid top.

My newest Obsession: Vintage Suzani


Really loving this pattern at the moment. :) There are lots of different options, and the pattern is bold, colorful, fun, graphic, and unique.

So many different options around the house for its uses!



The bed is my favorite. With a neutral, simply, decorated bedroom these would give an amazing pop, that is super fun to work with.

A great place that sells Vintage Suzani is Table Tonic. If you haven't seen her store yet, you simply must

My newest Obsession: Urns

That title sounds a little disturbing... Sinister even... Hehe


I just love the shape of the Urns that are seen everywhere in decor. They are versatile, cute, different, and visually interesting. I was excited to see this article in Woman's Day
with lots of different ideas and uses for garden urns. Love it!

Storing books. This looks really cute, and is a different look than your traditional end table with books stacked on top.

Always love the look of utincels in an urn

Umbrella holder

How adorable is this?! The small urns are super cute filled with office supplies, and sitting on top of a tray. Very classy.

Not your usual cooler- its even better!

Why not slip a piece of wood on top, or turn it upside down and use it as a table? Brilliant!

Adorable candle pillars

I saved the best for last. I LOVE this idea!
