Walking on walls

I've seen wood flooring on walls for a while but it wasn't until my buddy talked about his wall ideas that got my fire going.

So one weekend I made the attempt.

Seems a little fishy

Can't think of anything else to do with your walls? Here's some inspiration.

BYOC












I don't know if this is the same across the country but here in Los Angeles, no one is allowed to take the shopping carts out of Ross. No matter how much you spend. BYOC: bring your own cart.


Wood you like a coffee table







I must give high marks to the overall design aesthetic of The Westin Monache Resort in Mammoth, CA. It was a playful mix of kitchy stand out pieces such as the wood stump cocktail tables with comfortable tailored furniture.












Simple flower arrangement in small glass vases.





The faux candles gave off a genuine glow.

Grass on the wall/ Double duty furniture








I love grasscloth wall paper! Oh and I also love double duty furniture. Notice the ottoman bench that doubles as a coffee table?

Off the rack







Who knew that rack shelving can look so good? Just add nice uniform baskets and containers.

Ideas bloom at Bloomingdales







During a recent trip to Bloomingdales, I snagged a picture of this great idea for a tablescape. Wooden board topped with three glass vases filled with sand and an ice plant (aizoaceae, carpobrotus edulis).
