Wallpaper Project?


Here's a really crappy pic of my entry room ( above ) I have very tall ceilings, and i'm not doing them justice really. I've been wanting to do wallpaper on one ( maybe 2? ) walls, get new furniture and move things around ( i will get better pics of the whole room ). Below are a few pics that popped out at me for inspiration. Finding just the right wallpaper has been a struggle for me, unless I want to pay hundreds of dollars for one I'd die for, but, not thanks. Once i have real choices nailed down, I'll likely do a poll to see what my readers think. :)

Go Bold! With...Dressers?

This Green Dresser, is the inspiration to this painted dresser post. I am looking to recreate it for my bedroom.
In the meantime, get inspired by these awesome bold dressers. They are oh so chic, and most of them were likely old dressers that were revamped and brought back to life!

$49 Chandelier!

I love THIS chandelier from Pottery Barn Teen. There is only yellow left, but it's a killer deal, and would be easy to spraypaint if you'd like.

Goblets!











I have always loved colored goblets, and it's a bonus if they are etched with a design, like the blue or green ones. Not only would they look fabulous in my china cabinet, but they'd be so nice to have out for special guests or occasions. I think I shall add them to my Christmas list...

Flameless Candles

Well, I've jumped on the flameless candle bandwagon. They are perfect for my lanterns in the entryway, they have a timer ( come on same time every day for 5 hours ), they smell like vanilla, and they have a flicker. I got 3 of them for $19 at COSTCO. This is the cheapest they get folks!
Hope you all enjoyed your Halloween!
