HIGH GLOSS AND LACQUERED WALLS!

High gloss walls...It seems you either love them or you hate them. I happen to love them right now and would like implement them in our living room on one accent wall. Our living room/dining/kitchen is pretty small so I don't know if I would want to have every wall high gloss, I think in our space it might be too much. But there is a small nook behind the sofa that is carved out for a dining table, which we never use, so I am currently working on a desk (which hopefully I can finish painting soon so I can share it with you) and making that nook a little office for myself, the high gloss wall would be the back drop for the desk and make it feel like its own little spot.




This first picture is my favorite

If you are looking for an easy removable option...








What do you think? Would you dare to go high gloss?

SPEAKING OF LUCITE...AND ETSY

After finding the Lucite drapery rods on Etsy, I decided to take a stroll through all the Lucite furniture for sale. I love my Lucite, especially a unique vintage piece which you will generally find on Etsy. Be prepared though to spend some money...

CHARLES HOLLIS BAR STOOLS

Can someone PLEASE buy me these bar stools?! They are just amazing.

If you follow Jenny from Little Green Notebook (if you don't, start!), she bought a very similar desk/vanity for her sisters room and it came out awesome...

So if you have a couple thousand dollars you could afford to buy one of these pieces :)

WEDNESDAY FIND : RED BATHROOM

I normally HATE red walls, they never usually come out great, probably a major reason is its hard to pick a really good red, and then you have to execute it well. I have been following Little Green Notebook daily for probably the last six months and love it. I just recently started going back into Jenny's archives and reading it from the beginning, and today found this pic she had posted in Feb 2009. I love it! This red is done right! It's glossy and the moulding gives it dimension...A perfect use of red walls...

TUESDAY FIND...BEMZ.COM

How did I not know about this website?! Have any of you ever been to Bemz? They make slip covers specifically for IKEA furniture!

So what if you start with one of these? 

and then you went to Bemz picked out an awesome slipcover...and it turned into something like one of these...





How amazing do those look?! My fav, the last one, loose urban fit for Karlstad.
They are not limited to just to the Kivik and Karlstad or IKEA sofas in general, they have a huge selection for other IKEA furniture and in an abundance of fabrics. Well worth checking out!
