The "Perfect" Piece

Although I can appreciate the beauty in lots of different pieces of furniture, I find it very difficult to shop for it.  It's very easy for me to look at pieces and think that would look great in such and such a room, but when it comes time to actually making a purchase, I can take FOREVER to make a final decision.  Furniture is expensive and it is supposed to last forever, so you're making a very long term commitment which freaks me out a little.  What if I get sick of this color?  What if this starts to fall apart in a year?  What if something cooler comes out next season?  Yes, maybe I'm a little neurotic.

But today, I saw the most amazing dining table.

It's so modern and unique.  The best part is, it turns out that this table was a DIY project.  So, if we make it ourselves...there's no buyer's remorse to be had.  I must figure out a way to make this table! =)

Wall Candy

I want one of these to hang on a white or light to medium blue wall.

One Million Short Stories Giclee Print by Inaluxe in Australia.

I love that the background texture adds some depth while the colorful design in the foreground can complement a ton of different color schemes.  The 13" x 19" size makes it perfect for a smaller room like a home office or a baby room.

Another beautiful design by Inaluxe...

Helsinki Afternoon

Reminds me of the multicolor leaf pattern by Orla Kiely, but a little less cutesy.
