It physically pains me to admit to this, but sometimes Pottery Barn just gets me. They also never fail to surprise with unique (mass produced) pieces like these unstretched encyclopedia skull and bones canvases. Of course they consider them Halloween decor and I consider them Every Day of the Year decor, which is how I keep my wits about me.

+ I’ve been munching on Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts over the past month, now I’m tempted to make my own (decidedly more healthy) version.
+ These velvet pumpkins are a luxe twist on Halloween decor.
+ A few more October desktop wallpapers 1, 2, 3
+ I want to visit this cafe that looks like it’s been flipped on its side.
+ Crazy about this modern crepe paper lantern project!
+ Knitted graffiti on a bridge in Australia.
+ I kill everything, including succulents, but I still want to make a terrarium.
+ What does your Facebook portrait say about you? (I’m possibly balding, among other things.)
+ In love with this raggedly striped bathroom.
+ I want to plan a road trip based around roadside motels.
+ Who doesn’t need a trapeze in their home?!
+ Have a writing deadline? Check out Write or Die.
+ I want to move into this beautiful gray space. Or at the least, paint my living room and main hallway.
I love the rough-around-the-edges look of the floral wall in Ruche’s spring lookbook. Feminine without being too sugary sweet. Ruche was kind enough to put together a little tutorial detailing how they constructed them out of butcher paper for us on their blog. Would be gorgeous suspended from the ceiling, too. {via black white bliss}
I know I’m not the only one out there who’s noticed a surge in subway art over the past few months. And I’m obviously not the only one who’s toyed with the notion of creating some of my own. Just look at this step-by-step tutorial from Ashley at lil blue boo and tell me you’re not going to be running out to the hardware store to pick up wood and spray paint this weekend. {via Shelterpop}
I’m not a huge fan of wallpaper. Mainly because it’s so much more difficult to change on a whim when I get tired of it that paint is. But this wallpaper from Soy Este? This funnest of fun wallpaper based on multiples of everyday objects? This I could totally get behind. Check out the entire selection of brilliance right here. {via Two Brunettes}

Happy Weekend!
Posted In accessories, christmas, downloads, graphic design, happy weekend, holidays, house and home, online, shameless plug, walls, weddingsI love the seemingly obvious, yet absolutely brilliant twist in this design. The perfect piece to hang inside my entry way. I’ll take one Reflect Mirror, the black please!
Posted In grand design, house and home, wallsThe reflect mirror with its 90° angle can be used as a tray to place your keys, sun glasses, jewelries, coins etc so that you won’t forget to take them with you after checking yourself out in the mirror. For men, the angled portion of the mirror allows you to see below your chin when shaving, which can come in handy as well. Also, with a total of 8 holes on the rear of each mirror, reflect mirror can be placed almost anywhere on the wall, including corners.
Loving this teacup catch all from Laura Pregger. Really, really loving it. Would be perfect in the kitchen holding tea bags and Sweet n Low packets!
Not sure I’d put the Everything Holder in my shower because I’m extra weird about shower gunk and nastiness. But I’d love to have a few in the kitchen to catch utensils and tools that I use a lot. The tiles are available in black, white and red and attach with a few pieces of double-sided adhesive.

The idea behind these decorative medallions is actually wedding-based – make a few and put them on the wall behind your reception scrapbooking table to make it stand out. But I think they’d be sweet for a shower or even just as a wall decoration in my home office!
