Happy Friday!

Have any exciting plans this weekend? Here are six links to keep you busy if you have any down time!

1) Take a look at these adorable stools that can be flipped over to give your favorite furry friend a place to hang out.

2) If you haven’t heard of raw balls (the cookie dough look-a-likes) – they’re a healthy snack that is quite easy to make. I’ve never made the ones shown here, but the Dark Chocolate Fudge Balls are amazing! (recipe for both included on that link)

3) These glass wall organizers are a cute and easy way to organize and decorate at the same time!

4) What do you think of a large chandelier above the bed? Quite dramatic and daring, I’d say – and I love it!

5) Add some metallic shine to your ordinary glasses with this quick and easy DIY.

6) Getting ready for Valentine’s Day already? Dazzle your loved ones with this fun recipe for edible paint!

Have a great weekend!

Over-sized headboards make a dramatic statement in the bedroom as they easily catch the eye. Whether they’re neutral or in a bright color, it’s the unexpected large size that creates a glamorous modern look.

The first headboard extends wide enough that it passes the ends of the nightstands, while the other two headboards cut off in the middle of the nightstand. The first image also has two matching lamps, while the last two have two matching pendant hanging over each nightstand. All similar layouts but with very different looks!

Do you love the look of these over-sized headboards? Each of these headboards shown above appear to be custom-made items. So, if you had the option to custom make your own headboard – would you go for the extra-wide version or would you stick to the normal width?

Going off of yesterday’s post, I created a post using one of the color schemes: purple, peacock blue and fuchsia.

It’s definitely a bold scheme, and I wouldn’t necessarily decorate a room with these exact items, but I like it as a way to get a feel for how the colors flow together. I’m especially loving that chevron rug – it would look great under that fuchsia chair!

What do you think of this of color scheme?

(I created the moodboard over at Olioboard, so you can check it out there with links to each item. )

Something about different color palettes can be so inspiring. Maybe it’s all of the different possibilities, or perhaps it’s the search for finding pieces in those colors once you choose a palette. The Agate rug shown above was featured on Design Milk in 2010, but I came across it recently on Pinterest. (Where else?!)

With all of the different colors, I thought it’d be a fun place to start with a color palette. So I pulled a few colors from there, and then narrowed them down:

Personally, I’d try to keep all of the colors together if I could! I think they would be striking in a bedroom.

Which is your favorite?

I’m pretty sure my whole life would be undeniably perfect if I had one of these stellar chairs to go hide in every night before bed. [And every morning before work!!]

While it looks like it could maybe be a little claustrophobic at times, I’m thinking  it would be excellent for some reflecting. Or for those times when you just want to stare at something blank and not think or do anything!

So what is it, you ask? It’s the Object-O, a modern seating piece designed by Seung-Yong Song of Seoul, South Korea. On Song’s website, he compares the chair to building tents as a child throughout his home, where he would avoid those non-existent enemies.

I say it’s a great place to avoid the existent enemies of the adult life, ie bills, dirty dishes, etc. No, I’m just kidding. I think the Object-O Chair would be an excellent conversation piece and would be great outdoors – a personal umbrella chair.

What are your thoughts on Object-O?

I know not everybody loves pink, but I also know there are a lot of people that l-o-v-e pink.

A great thing about pink is that it’s not just for little girls. In fact, I love pink a lot more now than I did as a kid. Surfing through Pinterest, it was easy for me to prove that my hypothesis is true: pink can easily be translated into your adult life, as demonstrated above!

How about all this pink? Go all out with lacquered pink kitchen cabinets or take it easy on the pink with a few accent pieces, such as pillows and matching curtains. Now that I think about it, the only pink in my home right now is what’s in my closet. Something must be done about this immediately!

What about you – are you representing any pink in your home?
