Blik Headboards.

I moved into my house in July 08 and have yet to do a thing to my guest room other than inflate an air mattress. Does that even count? It’s not the biggest of spaces – roughly 10×12 – and just thinking about how to decorate it exhausts me. I want it to be comfortable without being crammed and my biggest conundrum is the bed itself. As in how in the world am I going to fit one in there with any other piece of furniture?!

But now I think I’ve found a solution, and I wasn’t even looking. Isn’t that how the best things happen? Check out Blik’s new headboard decals. There are five designs and a boatload of color options. I’m really digging the wrought iron in charcoal best, but you can check them all out here.

Total madness and all for $50 that go towards supporting the arts. That is unless you’re a Design Crush reader in the OKC area because then, well, you have a chance at winning one of two OKCityCards for free. I love free.

Rice.

Now that warmer weather is kicking in, outdoor entertaining is right around the corner. And while I adore my Fiestaware for indoors I don’t take outside. That’s reserved for one of my favorite things: melamine. And one company that consistently gets it right is Rice, tons of bright colors that are easy to mix and match and scream let’s do this!
