dreaming of where i could dream

it's kind of amazing and a little depressing how quickly ones taste can change in decor. at least mine. just when i thought i knew what i liked (straight lines, pottery-barnish type furnishings), and after we invested some actual money into bedroom furniture, i find that i've shifted away from the finished, matchy look. 

in the end this really is all just too bad for me, because my husband is a believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." and our bedroom set (yes, it's a "set"...sigh), is only four years old, and it certainly ain't broke. i'm sure we'll have it for a long time to come, but in the meantime, here are some designs that make me want to sell what i have and start over! (a girl can dream.)

i don't think i could be more in love with this bedroom. it is beautiful! may be i can find a headboard like this for the guest bed at least?

and this one is so sweet...i can see it as a girl's room or even a guest room.

i would never have enough confidence to put these bold colors together, but they completely work and are stunning!

this one is just sexy.

 this room is pretty busy, but i'm drawn to it (everything except the zebra print ottoman that is).

oh, and this one is so pretty! the wallpaper is such a fun vintage print.

i'll keep dreaming and living vicariously through the other rooms in our house!
 

tacky beach towels

why is it that despite my overly picky taste, i own and use the tackiest beach towels known to man? really bright harsh colors with some sort of 80's beach scene sewn in them...oh they're bad! every summer for years i've thought how i'd like to invest in some new, not-quite-so-hidious towels, but it never seems to be a budgetary priority. one day i will make this happen! 

may be i'll get something simple like these:


or cutsie like these:



actually, plush and modern sounds perfect:
