first off i need to explain:
i am not a furniture connoisseur
at all.
(mostly i go to ikea and pick out
whatever might work
or i pick up second hand
treasures.)
i hope one day to be more
educated about buying pieces,
until then
here are three questions
i was asked about our recent
feature on fresh nest.
1.) the end tables are hattens
from ikea.
they look fancy
i love putting different objects
in the bowl according to my whimsy.
(note: they are really lightweight).
2.) the blanket is also from ikea
the ofelia throw.
if i could buy one for everyone in the world
i would.
it is a happy piece of fabric
which looks pleasantly perched anywhere
and adds a lot of texture to a room.
one of my favorite purchases in recent memory
(and only $19.99!)
3.) the armchair
was a find from a model condo
after it had sold
(same place we found the
table we transformed with tile).
i keep thinking i will recover it
in cheery fabric.
i guess a room is never really finished
sigh . . .

That table looks really heavey. I'm glad to hear its not.
Doesn't your little one like to knock it around?
I really love retro house. However, I've never been to Ikea. Maybe someday I will go. But I have a tendency to want to buy everything in sight when I go to stores like that. So, perhaps, I may wait until the kids are done with mission and college in a few years. (They are almost 11 and 13 1/2 now...) Ah, well, it seems as though I will have to continue to live vicariously through your fun and stylish pictures. :)
I agree with you that a room is never finished. At least, the BEST rooms are never finished, they just keep evolving over time.
p.s. I think you did a fantastic job with the room. It's beautiful.
Where did you get those dynamite pillows?
so inspiring. Your gold wall, the hints of red, everything is inspring. I want to do a major makeover but I am moving. I am always moving. DANG IT!
I love the color palette. Red is my signature color and I get practically giddy seeing it used in such a lovely way in your home. I think often people shy away from color because they are afraid of messing up with it, but once it is included it really helps make a house more of a home.
I saw that throw in the picture and I knew where it had come from. I just went to Ikea last week and got one to make as the curtain in my girl's room. I love it too!
Hey CJane
