Ombre

Whether in clothes, hair or fabrics, I'm always drawn to that gradual change in colour.  Here are some of my top ombre/tie-dye pics:

Now for something else....

AND...

do you think I could get away with this look?  okay, maybe not sooo much blue BUT I have blondish hair and I can't do the whole dark brown to blonde ombre thing so I've been tempted to try a little bleach on my tips or maybe even a little blue on the hair underneath...maybe once the school year is over...I'll go crazy in the summer ;)

P.S.  Google ombre cakes....it's incredible what people do! the amount of time spent on making it...wow!

makes some pretty funky furniture:

Around the World

I really love a room that looks well travelled.  Looks like it has a story.  An eclectic mix of patterns, well used pieces, photos, art, plants, and put-your-feet-up furniture.  

I came across Bokja furniture in a feature on apartmenttherapy.com...what cool stuff.  

They take classic chairs and upholster them with awesome Moroccan, Indian, bohemian — ish fabrics. 

p.s. i realize to that these are pretty feminine and you'd be hard press to get a guy to buy this..but I'm single so I Love it ;)

I also really like Gaiam or Mad Mats outdoor/indoor rugs which are made out of recycled cans!  

There's a little coffee shop on the way to mt Baker that had them out in the summer time and they looked so good on the deck.

Garden Stools: II

Remember the post about using garden stools inside the house?  I came across another cool example of it.
