anthropologie favorites...










those of you who know me are aware of my obsession with anthropologie! in my opinion, they carry some of the most eclectic and beautiful home decor items available in a mass-retail store. also, alongside their $4000 pieces of upholstered furniture, they do have a number of gems that can be found for affordable prices. i thought i would put together a few of my favorite picks from this season. i envision hanging the orla kiely blossom wallpaper (third row down, left) in a bedroom and turning it into a "faux headboard"...you could create this by hanging the wallpaper in a square (a good size might be 6 foot by 6 foot), then frame the wallpaper square with ornate wooden molding, paint the frame a bold teal blue - similar to the color in the wallpaper, and finally, paint the wall surrounding the wallpaper either a charcoal gray or a deep chocolate brown --- the icing on the cake would be hanging the beautiful effervescent chandelier in the room! unfortunately this will have to wait until i have a place of my own. but as you can see, i get alot of ideas for my own design projects from their stores..hopefully this will provide you with some inspiration too...
