Project Zhush- Bed and Bath

Good morning friends.

I have to admit to you that my blogging brain is still not quite in sync...I woke up this morning with a little writer's block...considered a story post, since haven't done one of those in yonks but I'm just not feeling witty enough at the moment to make it good.

So...I'm going fail safe....aka...


...updates.

Since I've been away, little really has happened but I do have a few boardski's to share.

After considering the 'it's as good as unicorns and candy sparklers' vase wallpaper, me and A from A came to the sad conclusion that it's just too pricey pants...it's a realization I come to on my own almost daily as I consider umpteen wallpaper choices for my home- why christ does the stuff have to be so damn expensiventee?

PS... apparently I'm in the mood for words/phrases that aren't real today...the expensive one is meant to rhyme with entrée...me likey.

Moving on.

In an attempt to formulate a plan as delightful as the paper, but with a smaller price tag, I came up with this...


Pink walls (FB pink ground) with gold detail molding.

As a more low key alternative, I also presented this...


...the white moulding version.

Thoughts?

The spoonflower dots fabric from domesticate is most definitely going on the windows...and come hell or high water, those chinoiserie panels will be forthcoming...in acrylic frames thank you please...also, a Moroccan sparkle blanket will also most definitely be had...so happy to see such pretty ones at our friend Amber's shoppe!

Now...along with the bedroom ideas, I also sent A from A a little bathroom inspiration.

We decided early in the game that the en-suite was to be moody/dark glam...a good counterpoint to the bedrooms pretty glam;)

So...here's the first draft...


Black palm wallpaper (domesticate strikes again,) gold over the top fixtures, Persian, gilt chandy, lucite teal bench, art fantastica.

  2. Christine, in this case I like the second with out the gold molding; for me it distracts from the other gorgeous elements!

  5. I'm not usually a white painted moulding fan but in this case, I find the white highlights the art and also tie in the white of the drapery panels.. so I guess my vote is for the white!
    As for the bathroom I love the wallpaper, rug and the faucet, very lux!

  12. Gold molding would be funner! more daring also...but perhaps I would tame it down on other things...I would though love the walls to have some colour ...not white...peachy, blue...gray...etc.

  13. I am usually a gold chick but I think white is best here with the
    addtional panel etc. best to always go simple and then move up.
    I missed the "unicorns" too expensive item. Can you send me a link? Also do you have the panels already? Where do you get them. O have been looking but wow they are
    pricey. You are a wonderful person and a great blogger.

  14. That print is definitely calling my name and it looks like Debbie Harry, hmmm... I'm glad someone else besides myself is having a little writer's block, it's actually what I blogged about today and included a fews ways to get out of it too. However, I think your entitled right now to have an off day/morning. By the way, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm thinking good thoughts for you and your family.

  15. What's not to love??? The paneling with the gold is scrumptious...especially paired with those curtain panels! And I honestly gave a "holy sh*t" curse over that gorgeous persian! Those colors are so dang awesome, it was called for, I swear. (c:

  18. Love the gold moulding. Love. I just did that on a design for a wine bar, but the walls were gray!

    And love my girl in the bath. You're so talented!!
