finds.

it is my first full week not working and it's allowing me to start doing some things that i want to get done. one thing is redoing our bedroom (yes, already). right now it is painted a dark brown and i like it, but it's just too dark. so, i started flipping through my domino book


that matt bought me. which, i love and would recommend to all. the problem is there are just so many good ideas, i don't know which one to use. but, right now i've zeroed in on using warm earth tones, like this room:


that is today. who knows what it will be tomorrow, but hopefully i'll stick with it. there are a lot of things in the room i'm still gonna use, just needs a makeover. there is a bedside table that i need to paint and put some new pulls on. of course, the first place i look for those would be anthropologie, and of course they're almost $20 for one. i saw these that i liked:


and then i went to lowe's to get some paint chips and i found these:
for $5.97! they look a lot nicer in person and are silver instead of gold, which would work better for what i wanna do. i was excited.

finding something you like that is expensive and finding something similar for cheaper. i love these sort of challenges.

also, i really liked these two other knobs i saw at anthro:

hoot.


i'm kinda obsessed with coral right now.


and while there, i got a deal on this cute dress:


beware of their sale.

this post is dedicated to ange. i am working up to that decorating blog.
