Color is so powerful. It can transform something from exciting to moody, from calm to electric...from love to hate! So when I saw this room, my eyes lit up! The beauty, the flow, the aesthetic...it took me into my wildest home interior dreams...where my own home looks like a page out of Architectural Digest...
Even though it is well designed, it is still liveable, comfortable, functional, and real world!

And don't get me started on those curtains and that ottoman...perfection!

Etsy: The Home Centric

As you know, I love love love Etsy.
Nowhere else on the web can you find such one of a kind, quality, and unique items...some things you never thought you needed!

Pillows...are something I always need. They can add color, sparkle, shine, and style to a room in a simple and cost-effective way...that most other accessories cannot.
So when I stumbled upon this DAZZLER:


I wanted more and more and more...and more is what I got.
Made by The Home Centric, these beauties could up the style factor in a room in a major way...and for $20 to $30 a pop, you have spent less than a pair of jeans!
Check these out:

Esty World

I love etsy, it is a haven for one of a kind, handmade, goodies that will add the flair and personality to your home that you need to make it uniquely yours.

Here are a few of the things I am loving this month on Etsy for your home.
Check out etsy for other great gifts, jewelry, and clothing as well!


Monogrammed Wedding Vases by Maid of Clay!

These would make the cutest wedding or anniversary gift, or simply add your own monogram and get one for yourself...would work great as a pen/pencil holder for your office!


Micro Clay Wall Tiles by Elements of Clay

These are so stylish and unique. Add to a white wall for seamless textural interest, or to a colored wall for a stark contrast of unique wall art!
I would love love love these in my bathroom!


Felt Chair Pads by Inbound Thread

I hate regular chair pads, the kind that ties to the back of the chair. They are always moving, make you slide, and those pesky ties are always breaking off! These, however, are my kind of chair pad. First, they are made of felt...one of my favorite green materials. Second, they are slim, stylish, and ahhhhhhhhhhh...anti slip! Great!


Wire Sphere Light by Splurge
Finding a good pendant light, for an affordable price, is a task. Well, this one, you can use it as is, for a slightly rustic look...or you can cover in in the paper, fabric, or covering of your choice (make sure it is not flammable) to make a statement all your own. Personally, I like it as is...in a modern room...to play down the shiny, stark, hard lines of the furniture! But you do it your way...

On the Treetops...

I always wanted a treehouse growing up.
Now that I have a child, I would love for him to have one...but one that I could go in as well.
Check out these amazing treehouses!

Contemporary Color

I LOVE this room.
It is a room by Nancy, entered in the Apartment Therapy "Room for Color" contest!
The contemporary furniture, the sherbet colors, the white partially paneled walls, the dark wood dining furniture, the patterns, the lush velvets, the acrylic chair (tres posh) are all the makings of a stylish Contemporary room that any lover of interiors would swoon over!
Good WORK Nancy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
