Goes to (drum roll!!!!!!) ME! I'm sorry gang, last week my internet was haunted and I couldn't get a signal for days. I had planned to write a post to exercise my demonized interwebs today but I simply have't had time. I promise promise to stop the shenanigans and come back in full swing on Thursday. You'll still want to stop by tomorrow, a sneak peek at Erin's post has filled me with shame at my own pathetic bloggyness.
Still lots of love and xoxos for you all! K
Sorry it's been all quiet on the design front -- Karly's internets are cursed and I'm still a lazy bitch. Since it's really too hot in Austin to think, I figured I would just let my gut choose the images for today's roundup. So relax, kick back, and let your eyes nom nom some decor porn.
Living Etc obviously supports the idea of decor porn. Literally.

Sorry for the short post, but the cicadas buzzing in my ear seem to drown out any pretense of industriousness. Back Wednesday with more rooms that are no brainer good.
In case you haven't noticed, it's high summer and things are moving at a rather leisurely pace here at DC headquarters. I'm too busy with BBQs and pool playdates to do any hard hitting entertainicles right now, but I did manage to scrounge up a few delightful tidbits for you -- our loyal readers. If you saw yesterday's post about Karly's curtain project, then you know that a little DIY graphic goodness can make a gigantinormous difference. Let's check out some other ideas for simple, punchy projects. Behold:
Eye Spy
While I don't really want to think about how much work it actually took to paint that floor, I am seeing some definite, cheap possibilities for radical change. Is this not the best idea ever for crapoflaging those hideous screenprinted tiles that seem to run rampant in otherwise nice homes? I am wondering how durable the finish would be, though. Does anyone have experience painting tile?

Step one: find huge, cheap gold frames. Step two: paint your own shapes or cut up a big piece of fabric and frame. Step three: steal those lamps. heh.
LA Times
Sure it's a little voyeuristic, but at least you'll never be lonely in bed again. As I recall, this fabric was created with digital imaging and then sewn into a coverlet. There are so many digital service bureaus out there now that I'm sure there must be some reasonable options for printing your own fabric masterpieces.

A couple of graphic touches can make a big impact in a neutral space. It would take three seconds to have those shapes cut out of MDF and paint them up all 80s Memphis like. The settee is a relatively easy upholstery job that could be done on the cheap with Ikea fabric, and y'all know I'm nothing if not hot for the cheap and easy.

Dudes, I will be knocking this idea off someday. I can't afford Fornasetti's stunning Nuvole wall mural, but I can have my own images printed by Design Your Walls. I actually flipped this image into a mirrored pattern much like the one above and then had it printed as wallpaper, which was really easy to do and relatively inexpensive. Think I might try some different images and see what I can come up with.
You know... after I finish BBQing and swimming.
