Thinking Pink.

Our master bathroom is waaaay overdue for a makeover.  Now the question is what to do, and how fast can I scrape together the money to do it.  The girls bathroom is also ready for a makeover, and I figured, why not do it all at once?  For some reason, I keep putting my room on hold and continue to focus on theirs… And I can’t help but think pink wallpaper.  By now, you all know, pink is my absolute favorite color…. I just don’t think I can resist.  Here are some contenders…

That’s What I’m Talking About.

Last year I wrote about the amazing wallpaper from Black Crowe Studios.  Well, check out some recent installations of their papers.
Is this room not TO DIE FOR?  It was designed by Robert Passal for the Hampton Designers Showhouse.
 This color combo has me weak in the knees.
 Loving the purple and emerald as well.
Okay, okay… I love them all.

Reese Witherspoon’s Ojai Ranch.

As if there wasn’t enough reasons for my girl crush on Reese… Check out her Ranch in Ojai, California in this month’s Elle Decor.  This is where she married Jim Toth last year and apparently she recently offered it as a safe haven for R Pat to escape all of the trampire drama.  No doubt, I need more rich friends.
So earthy and peaceful.

 

 Reese said that you can’t even get a cell reception here.  Sounds perfect to me!

 

 Serenity now.
I am guessing this is where Ava (aka Reese 2.0) catches some Z’s.

 

And Deacon.
Reese and her adorable nieces.  What great maternity style she has!

Can’t Teach An Old Dog….

So I finally got my Craig’s List Chairs reupholstered in the perfect shade of turquoise.  Looks like Bailey doesn’t give a sh%t about the new house rules.
In other living room news, I am so in love with our new piano bench.
I took Grandma’s old piano bench and covered it with a metallic cowhide that I found here.

Here is the before….

And after….

Busy. Busy. Busy.

Things are moving around the Salmon house this week.  We have a BIG photo shoot tomorrow that I can’t wait to tell you all about!  Here is a glimpse of what is going on around here.
Remember these chairs?
Grandma’s piano bench has finally gotten her groove back.
Jujulicious delivery for E’s Room.
New dining room swerve.
 Happy Wednesday!

A Fresh Perspective.

I bought this secretary’s desk a few months ago on CraigList.  Mike had to pick it up for me and when he got it home it was covered in scratches and top spindle fell off.   I paid about $200 and, I was then convinced that I was a sucker.   (Sorry, the only picture that I have is from the actual CL posting.)
I was determined to turn this piece of trash into a treasure.  And finally, I found my inspiration via Pinterest.
It was the perfect color composition for the palette that I selected for our guest bedroom.
Here she is.. all prettied up.
 The interior is Autumn Red by Benjamin Moore and the exterior is Blackthorn by Duron.
More pics and resources on this room to come!
