Confession

Okay, so I admit I am one of those people who (sometimes) reads the end of books before I read the middle.  And I've been compulsively planning the decorating of our house before the important structural work is complete.  So while I know I won't be able to indulge in any of the things I've been finding, I am content to collect the ideas and save them for when the time actually comes.  

I've been thinking about how to decorate the guest room, since one of the most exciting parts of having a house here is the prospect of inviting people to stay with us.  I thought I knew exactly what I was going to do, but an impromptu trip to Target this morning turned my plans upside down.

What I had planned was turquoise and gray:

 

But after this morning, turquoise and gray seems boring!  

so how about 

yellow and gray... or lime green

or warm earthy reds and browns

 

the knobs are from anthropologie and will look lovely on my antique dresser

 

 whether turquoise, gold or green

 

 

and while M's not crazy about it, i'm in love with birds

on bedding, paintings, or elsewhere

i love the silhouette of a bird and think they're lovely looking

would these owls creep you out if you were my guest? 

one last note... i love this sheet music hook

wouldn't it be the perfect addition to my new purple music room?

 

pictures of THAT soon to follow.
