Peel and Stick Wallpaper

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about making a statement with wallpaper in small spaces, like bathrooms.  Well, since then, I have decided to take the plunge in MY own powder room and hang up some crazy, bold wallpaper. And, in my search for the perfect design, I happened to come across a pretty fantastic thing.......peel and stick wallpaper that is pretty darn cute!  Imagine hanging wallpaper without the mess, hassle and hours of labor!

 Tempaper sells peel and stick wallpaper in beatiful designs and colors.
 Here are a few of their patterns:

 Don't these pictures just make you want to hang wallpaper in every room?! I'm so glad to have come across their website!  I will keep you updated with my choice!

Sex and The City House Sells

The gorgeous home seen on Sex and The City officially has a new owner.  It could have been your's for just $9.85 million! 

The herringbone floors and molding are beyond incredible!

How pretty is the rounded doorway?  LOVE the pocket doors as well.

What I would give to have ceilings like this in my house!

Touch of Tie Dye!

It seems like I keep stumbling upon all things tie dye and I'm kinda liking it! I think it's a fun, whimsy addition to anyone's home.  Obviously, a little tie dye goes a LONG way.

The curtains are so unexpected, yet work so well in this room.

I love the casual vibe these pillows give to the room.



Tie dye works so well in a child's bedroom!

Decorating Don'ts

The special edition of Domino Magazine that came out last Tuesday has a ton of great information.  Most of its content has been published in past issues....however, it's kind of nice to have a bunch of ideas, tips and sources in one spot!  I have included the Top 10 decorating don'ts according to the magazine....I find them very useful and important in making your space the best it can be!

Overdoing It

Stuffing too much of a good thing into a room can feel stifling

Art Hung Too High

Avoid neck cricks; center the piece at eye level

Curtain Hardware Hung Too Low

This crowds the window. Instead, mount the rod up high to let in light and allow the window to breathe.

Imposing A Style That Doesn't Belong

In planning an overall look, consider your home's architectureand environment.  Santa Fe style usually works best in Santa Fe.

Too-Bright Overhead Lighting

It's usually unflattering. Better to have four 25-watt lamps than a single 100-watt ceiling fixture.

Matching Every Fabric In A Room

Just like when you put together an outfit, you want at least one unexpected element.

Pairs Of Everything

Duos are not necessarily bad by definition, but beware the Noah's Ark look.

Monotony Of Scale

Mix it up! A blanace of accessories big and small, tall and short, brings a room to life.

Beds Or Sofas On A Diagonal

A decorator trick you shouldn't try at home- it makes too much of a statement.

Decorationg For Someone Else's Life

You eat takeout every night and have two huge dogs: Is a white dining room really the way to go?

T.G.I.F.

Has anyone else had a long week?!  How fun would it be to travel to one of these beautiful places and escape reality for a few days?
