i’ve had a crush on these ikat curtains for a while now.

i so badly want them for my master bedroom.

restoration hardware has recently been reinvented.

silver sage walls and over scaled white trim has now been replaced with muted grey walls and mid-19th-century inspired distressed woodwork.

while flipping through the catalog i couldn’t help but notice the lack of color.

monochromatic color schemes line the pages but each piece seems to tell a story.

whether it’s a replica of an antique french bookcase, vintage indian market cart, authentic cast iron tractor seat, or a reproduction of an italian gas street light, each piece has a history.

although i have fallen in love with many of the new pieces offered, i am not sure i love the new look.

i wouldn’t mind seeing a little color or even some fresh crisp white.

what are your thoughts, do you love it?

i love me some color.

especially when it is mixed with pattern.

yummy.

i find these bedrooms inspiring.

no matter what i do i can’t escape my obsession with color.

does anyone else have a color obsession?

i must admit, my diy lampshade project is not going as well as planned.

i purchased the lamp shade for $2.00 at my local thrift store.

isn’t it pretty?

then i took the top layer accordion style fabric off.

super easy.

then i cut the old cover open and laid it flat to use as a template.

this is where things started to get complicated.

when i held the shade up with the white fabric you could see the yellow coming through, yuck!

what do you think?
