Things i loved this week.

Hey everyone!

I thought yesterday was friday, but quickly realized i was a day behind on my blog. I decided since i was already a day behind i might as well make it two. Normally i schedule these posts but i had a busy week at work, so it just didn't happen.

before i continue, let me just fill you in on the recents. we finished out button tufted ottoman that we made out of a coffee table, i'll post the how to later this week! I got my hair re done yesterday, i started going to a new hairdresser who i'm very happy with but she's on vacation for a month, so i went to the same salon and a different stylist. This was just supposed to be a touch up and my roots, she forewarned me that there were a few copper parts that just didn't take so well but looked like "highlights"(which i found weird because i've been doing this colours for 1 year.. year and a half). I got out of the salon at 6:02 PM and they closed at 6:00PM so i'm fairly certain she just wanted me out, these are random spots she legitimately just missed. i'm so terrible at complaining, i feel bad and i don't want to hurt their feelings. normally in this case i would go to the drugstore and dye my hair black and call it a "new look" but when you pay $130 for your roots and brightening the ends, you don't expect it to look like a raccoon tail.

I guess i'll have to give them a call when they open, wish me luck.. i'll probably straight up vomit as soon as they answer. /firstworldproblems.

now, for the things i loved this week.. i'm just trying to get away from the "house and home" i drool and obsess over so much, mainly because i start following through with these things i love and spend far way too much money re doing the place each year.. but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

side note: I think all of us tattooed artsy girls love nautical themes, i've been looking endlessly for a nautical themed bathing suit, since i can actually wear one comfortably this year, but i can't find a cute one for the life of me. send me some links if you know of any :)

Hey everyone,

it's about that time again! here are my most magnificent finds this week. This week is my inspiration for home decor & pretty finds for the house. I have to admit, a lot of these posts will probably be in this category.









1. the most amazing owl motif wallpaper from abigail edwards, i just about died when i saw this on HGTV and googled and googled until i finally found it. Well i found it, and i bought it, and it's pretty much as amazing as i'm gushing it out to be. 2. these super pretty, super soft chevron curtains found at urban outfitters 3. the most amazing owl umbrella stand found at twos company. 4. these handcrafted own nesting dolls found at savageartworks. 5. you may remember a post from me where i oogled over this room with a similar big octopus picture, well i found a really cheap, not very well done counterfeit of it here, it's also not black. better than nothing! 6. call me crazy, but i've been in love with white hardwood floors since the white on white issues of Style at Home magazine. I wouldn't dare mention this to John, i know the look i would i get!
