Randomness

I've got a rather mixed-bag of fun for today.

First up...

...is this art genius....can we talk about Mr. leopard for a minute?

Good lord I need some of that action in my life.

And speaking of greatness...

walls, amazing console table

...man I'd roll over backwards for the eagle table...heaven.

I'd also give up more than a few things for this little piece of design nirana, courtesy of Kim Steward...

...the b/w chairs, gun lamp, artwork and horses...yes and yes please.

Then there's the dining room above...holy arches batman.

And since we're on the topic of super heroes....Kelly Wearstler...

Kelly Wearstler

...you're my most favourtist of all.

I'd die happy if it happened in that office...or in this one for that matter...

I want...that desk...

...pink desk, can we make out and can this girl get in on the action...

Adore.  Regina Feoktistova in “La Femme Provocateur” photographed by Kevin Sinclair an styled by Alex van der Steen for Elle Mexico October 2011.

I'm a boy lover but goodness she's hotsticks.

Also...

I had a MAJOR hair transformation yesterday- more on that later...for now though, I'll just say I think I'm going back for a little re-colour of sorts.

Some of you have already seen this Instagram shot of yours truly...


...and as you can see, right now mine is sort of ombre, which is cool...trouble is I don't really love either the dark colour or the light colour...bummer.

I want the colour to be just like in the photo above...I also want that ladies pants, shoes and coat...and legs for that matter...back the the hair...trust me when I tell you, getting red to be just the right red is harder than astro-physics

This on the other hand, is colour perfection...

graphic dark wallpaper, graphic fabric, green sideboard, pink walls

I NEED some of that blue fabric in my life....adore it with the green...also love the pink walls/green velvet in the adjoining room.

Moving on...

This little gold strapping detail probably has to happen in either my house or a clients...

...as does this idea of covering my black bathroom walls is art...

...oh and I really should rip out one of my showers and replace it with a gold frame one...

brasstastic

...just because it's AWESOME!

Bwahahaha! I'm dying that we both used that pigeon bathroom in our posts today, *hilarious* because it's such a random space! I just pinned the shiz out of this post, btw...and your hair is *BOMB*, bummer you're not in love with the color! Don't worry, you're hotsticks, too (c:

Alexa said...

Haha...Aubrey always makes me laugh...I just pinned the shiz out of this post. So true though...so many good things here for sure. The leopard print is incredible!

Naomi@DesignManifest said...

Love the idea of the art wall in a black bathroom.

And I think the hair looks great. Bummer that the color isn't right in real life. Are you trying to fix it before blogfest? I find myself a little freaked out at all the things I need to do before Sunday!

Marianne said...

I think your hair looks fab! Very chic. Looking forward to meeting you next week!!!

You look GREAT as a redhead. I think it really suits you (better than the blonde for sure). Personally, I love the color on the top of your hair. It looks really natural and authentic - like it is your real hair color. Flaming reds don't look natural but I think softer reds do (a la amy adams).

Reds are hard to maintain but they fade to neat shades as it has on you!

You know I love that picture of you, it's so pretty! Can't wait to see it in person next week. And I wan that blue fabric too. So pretty, so much to love here.

mikky said...

You die your hair? You are not naturally a redhead? I could have sworn from your photo in the sidebar that you are one.
Love these photos, especially that gorgeous chandelier.

Giirrrrl, your hair is gorge!!! I understand the trickiness of red though. So hard to get right.

Awesome rooms.

The hair isn't THAT bad. Maybe you could take one of your little ones in as a color swatch.
