There’s been a lot of feathers in fashion, especially with that whole feathers-in-the-hair trend. But what about feathers in home decor? While feathers are lovely in both environments, you can’t exactly rock a feather skirt on a daily basis as well as your door can rock a feather wreath. Well, I mean you can…and if I had one of these I would probably want to wear it everyday anyway.

So, back to the feathers. What do you think of them within your decor? Personally, I only like things that have the actual feathers – like what’s shown in the collage above. I’m not really into feather prints or a feather embroidered on a pillow. I want those feathers glued or stitched or whatevered on that pillow!

Here are the items I found above (ps: how cute is the feather bed for your pet?! LOVE!!):       1 /2 /3 /4 /5 / 6

I have a thing for acrylic furniture. I don’t know what it is, but I love it! So, today’s Would You Rather is all about acrylic!

If you had your choice, would you go for a small acrylic console table? How about a set of acrylic Louis Ghost chairs around your dining table?

Maybe you’d prefer to show off your storage with a gorgeous acrylic trunk? Or would you rather a glamorous acrylic coffee table stealing the show in your living room?

If it were me, I’d choose E) All of the above!! And perhaps you’d choose F) None of the above. That’s ok – because then there’s more acrylic for me! So, seriously – which would you rather? Is your fondness for acrylic as great as mine?

The holidays are quickly approaching and it’s never too early to start thinking about potential gifts. And since you’ll most likely be attending a few parties, today’s Etsy round-up includes several items that will be great for your hostess with the mostest.

Personally, I love the idea of giving and receiving something for the kitchen, because a fun pair of dish gloves or funky oven mitts aren’t something people typically buy for themselves. What kitchen knick-knacks are on your wish list this holiday season?

Get the items above: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

Happy Friday!! How are you spending the first lovely weekend of November? Will it be even lovelier due to the hour we’ll gain from Daylight Savings Time?

Here are this week’s Weekly Six links to check out, as collaged above!

1) Wouldn’t this Cookies and Cream Oreo Bark be a great dessert item to bring to parties this holiday season?

2) I keep going back to check out these colorful Bfrend bracelets – they’ll make great gifts! (For others and for myself!)

3) The lights lining the floor and going up the wall to the ceiling in this image are so festive – I definitely need to do something like this in my home for the holidays!

4) Here’s another fun thing to do with Christmas lights – poke them through canvas for a bright display.

5) The Holiday Gift Guide by Emily Henderson will not only give you great gift ideas, but also several fun DIYs for gift-giving and decorating.

6) How cool is this Inlamp by Sai Design Studio? Instead of typical lamps that stay on display whether on or off, the Inlamp has its own special cabinet for when not in use.

What fabulous things have you seen this week? We’d love for you to share them!

Yesterday’s Groupon in the NYC/North Jersey area was for a Thanksgiving meal cooked by the chef at Bloomingdale’s. We use Groupon for restaurants on a regular basis, so why not save on Thanksgiving with it?

But what this really made me think about is what the majority of people do for Thanksgiving. I’ve never cooked or hosted a Thanksgiving, but I can imagine it’s not the easiest meal, especially with a lot of guests. For that reason, I’m sure there’s a lot of people that either order in or dine out at a restaurant for Thanksgiving. Having Thanksgiving at a restaurant is a great way to get large families together that wouldn’t necessarily fit into someone’s house!

So, how do you spend Thanksgiving – with a home-cooked meal, with take-out, or at a restaurant?

Yesterday, the design blog Trendir covered the awesome wallpaper above. Yes! That’s wallpaper – isn’t it fun? In the photos, the paper really looks like real leather, real panels and real bookshelves! I’m curious to see what they look like in person…

These wallpapers are a great idea for a temporary living space, or an apartment where you don’t have much control over the physical decor. They can really be used in any home…but do you think you’d miss the actual texture that the wood panelling provides?

What I would pay to see is a guest reaching for one of those books!

Anyway, the wallpaper is made by Mineheart, a UK based company founded in 2010. In addition to the wild wallpapers shown here, there are several others on their website that you’ve got to check out.

Another question I have is: how would you decorate with these wallpapers? Here’s what I’m thinking:

How about this tufted leather wallpaper with a tufted leather sofa – too much?!
