Pinterinspirations

It's Pinterest day, which basically means I don't have two spare seconds to rub together and must, therefore, rely on the goodness of the internet to provide fodder for today's post. Thankfully I follow some fantastic pinners, so busting out the jams is easy breezy. Trust.

I have many takeaways from this image: I need to paint some supergraphics up in this joint, that sofa must be mine, and Acid Wasp is alive and well.

Still loving curtains, may have to throw some jade into the mix.

I know I am going to offend someone, but I loathe those chairs -- mostly because I had a similar set and they are so freaking hard to pull up to the table. But I do love that crazy antique lion paw table paired with fresh, clean chairs.

This is eerily similar to our office layout -- similar paint, couch, room size, etc. That's even where I plan to put the desk. Digging the french doors and garden stool cum coffee table. Want to burn the Union Jack (sorry, England -- it's not you, it's me).

Ike's new room. BOOM.

Or wait -- maybe this one? I mean... dayum.

I kind of let you down during Wallpaper Week, but can I make up for it by telling you my new secret wallpaper crush is Schumacher's tortoiseshell? I really hope the sample doesn't win my heart because it's $350/roll.

And finally, tomorrow I theoretically fly to Hawaii. With a two year old and a bleeding hole in my uterus. The doc has given me the ok to fly, but I go in for one more sonogram in a couple of hours to make sure the situation looks stable.

Cross your fingers for me because my mom is getting married to an awesome dude and I don't want to miss the wedding. Also I could really use a vacation from staring at these walls. I'm hoping the rental looks something like the picture above.

So maybe I'll be back tomorrow, but hopefully I'll be boarding the plane and I'll next see you all bright and early Monday, April 2, rife with reports of volcanoes and saltwater.

Kisses!

PSA: Pheasant by Twigs Wallpaper, All Colorways Pictured

Remember this wallpaper?

It's the lusciously lickable, preppily psychedelic Pheasant by Twigs wallpaper that I was talking up last week.

In the interest of continuing theme Wallpaper Week, I started to shoot my sample collection in our hallway for your viewing pleasure... but then I went and ordered yet ANOTHER sample that I feel I simply must wait upon before asking your opinion.

I am going open a crazy lady wallpaper sample shop when all this is said and done -- the kind of shop with dusty lampshades and random cats patrolling pee stained darkened corners. In other words, I have a problem.

While I sort out my OCD issues, I decided to shoot and post all the colorways for Pheasant because they aren't available anywhere online. I tried my hardest to standardize the colors and density, so I think the pictures are fairly accurate. This may not be the most exciting post, but hopefully it will be useful to someone out in the world.

Blue

Brown

Gold

Gray

Malachite

Marine

Orange

Peach

Red

Rust

If you like, call the nice folks at Twigs and order some samples for free. Rolls are 100% gorgeously hand printed (from a 1980s pattern!), so you have to trim the selvedge yourself...

Cold sweat, people. That's scary stuff.

But worth it -- this paper is deluxe.

Also it reminds me of the time I "got drunk" and went to the renaissance faire to watch weird people make marbelized paper.

That alone puts it in front runner status, right?

Kelly Wearstler + de Gournay = Wallgasm

Friends, I have about 3.2 second to write this post before all hell breaks loose, by which I mean that I will have to read Dogzilla 800 times and constantly assure Ike that we are not hiding a bagful of brand new toys from him (except that we are... he will get them next week on the plane).

Don't worry -- I'm not so unkind as to hide this shiny new toy from you. To continue our theme of Wallpaper Week, please see the following and try not to pee your pants with excitement:

Kelly Wearstler for de Gournay wallpaper.

I have plans to rob a bank during Ike's nap this afternoon, but shhhh don't tell anyone.
