Live Breathe Decor

I am itching to change something in my house today. Move something around, paint something, buy something new, re-hang, re-cover, re-locate and generally mix things up. This feeling does take hold every now and then and I can’t rest until I do something to get it out of the system. And sometimes changing the cushions just won’t do the trick.

There are a few things on my mind that aren’t helping matters. Let me show you.

First, there’s this room:

One of my favourite living rooms ever. And I want mine to be more like it. The colours, the mix of styles and shapes and pattern, I just love it. And I really want (I know I sound like a broken record on this point) to introduce more colour on the walls, and I’ve been thinking for awhile now that either pale blue, grey-purple or a dusky pink like this would be perfect (not consulted husband yet).

Then, there’s this:

I saw this block printed cotton over at Full House earlier this week and I can’t stop thinking about it, and how much I love that long sofa pillow on the turquoise french bench. Every since I’ve been scouring ebay to find a similar sofa and etsy to find a similar fabric. It’s only a matter of time!

Also, this:

has me thinking about modern art and retro furniture, and finding a cool vintage chair to recover in pink leather!

Then, I’m also thinking about whether I have room to order a new Madeline Weinrib rug, because I really, really like this:

I wonder where you can buy elephant consoles like this one?

Have a great Saturday!
