back in action...

Dismissed from jury duty! Yay!

Now back to the real world...

It's been an exhausting week and I haven't felt very creative or inspired, that is until I came home yesterday to 2 packages on my front stoop!

Remember the lamp I ordered from One Kings Lane (my very first purchase)?

Now it's mine! I have it temporarily set up in my living room until I paint my bedroom. I wanted to take a picture of it but I left my camera at my boyfriends house, so that will have to wait for Friday. I think the lamp has inspired me to get started with the painting.

I got another sign about painting my room yesterday when I bought the November issue of House Beautiful. I was looking at the section where they show a series of peoples favorite paint colors and how people use them, when I saw a picture of a lovely dark gray room. I read the little quote, and the color was Kendall Charcoal from Benjamin Moore, the same color I chose for my bedroom! I'll just take that as a sign that it's the perfect color for my room!

While I was looking at the House Beautiful website--trying to find the Kendall Gray bedroom, which I never found--I found some nice photos in the gallery section. I haven't looked at it in a while, so these pictures are new to me, but maybe not to you. So maybe this post is more to re-inspire myself to get myself going on my room!

I think the unintentional theme here is pretty ethnic patterns (got my suzani on my mind--I swear, when my room is done I will stop talking about suzanis)...

taking a few days off...

Sorry for the lack of posting. I've been fulfilling my civil duty and the courtroom hasn't provided much, if any, inspiration. It does, however, inspire me to want to take naps....

On my down time I've been checking out my favorite, One Kings Lane. And they have some fun goodies.

First, I know my friend Whitney would love to cuddle with the pillow below...
I would like to be taking a nap on the bed above with these pretty candles lit...

I also bought this pretty print from the Made by Girl online shop. It comes with the frame too! I like the fun colors and the funky gold frame, and it was only $15 all-together!

I'm hoping to be back at blogging by Wednesday or Thursday. We shall see....

Until then, I hope you are having a better week than I am (I know it's only Monday hehe).

one kings lane must haves...

Found these on the One Kings Lane "must have" list, and I think I agree. I must have these things, all of them. Or maybe just the lamp!--The lamp is $79, which isn't bad at all, but still a little expensive for me. But I want it so bad!!

Should I buy it? Help me out here....

Other adorable things below with an orange theme because, well, it is October....

If anyone wants an invite to One Kings Lane let me know!--It will also help me out in buying that lamp because I will get $25 (because I'm dying to have it! hehe)!

this pillow is too cute...

Now that I saw that awesome tray table on One Kings Lane I've been checking back to see what other sales they have going on, which is where I spotted this little gem of a pillow...

Too bad it's sold out...
Geeze, I have seriously got to get on these sales sooner. They must be on east coast time because this sale just started and most things are already sold out!
