video credit: jcpenny
Duro Olowu for JCP collaboration has launched! Full of texture and color, there's something for everyone. From apparel to home, Duro Olowu put a collection together that will woo you and have your eyes doing a dance. Now, I haven't seen the collection up close and personal, but I ordered a few pieces and will keep you posted.
Here's some of my favs...
Duro Olowu + JCPenny= Fabulous!

Festive...
Feeling festive about the Thanksgiving holiday! Tulips are definitely not a Fall flower, but the gorgeous orange and yellow colors made it so fitting for the season. They also brightened up our kitchen! Just want them to open up. :)
This is a very slow week for me as far as posting. Just keeping it simple! Come back tomorrow to see what I'm whipping up for Turkey Day!
Enjoy the short week!

paper on the wall...
I'm back on my decorating horse. I have this large wall in the bathroom (see below) that has nothing on it. I have gone back and forth with whether I should put a mirror or some sort of art there. Then, I've been playing around with printed wallpaper just on that one wall. There are so many super cute prints and textured paper out there. A couple weeks ago I got this email titled "Wild about Wallpaper" from Apartment Therapy. If you haven't gone on this site, you need to! You want to renovate, redecorate, or just add a little spice to your home, they have great ideas! Well, I took this email as a sign that I needed to really explore this further and get me some samples.

Here are some of the papers that caught my eye...

So fitting, but not so sure the husband would approve. Do you?

I feel like this would add some color as well as a feel of nature. Might be really soothing.

| plaster paintable wallpaper Paintable? Wow! This is great! Wallpaper sure has evolved. |

| Texture and Printed Wallpaper by Schumacher |
Think I'm leaning towards these samples. I do want a textured paper that feels and looks like there is fabric on the wall. I really like the green and gold. Adds that color and richness without overpowering the rest of the bathroom, and it's husband approved!
What do you think?

Bed Haven...
Over the weekend I decided to finally get some new bedding. I've had the same duvet cover since 2000. Don't you think it's time? I have this vision of vintage linen, washed cotton, and natural fibers in creams, taupes, and whites. A fresh and airy feel! Would work so well with my dark brown wood sleigh bed. So, my mom and I headed to Matteo's warehouse sale (60-70% off) downtown, and I came home with a vintage linen duvet cover and shams. We also stopped at Tuesday Morning, where I found a new mattress pad and pillows. Love it! A new mattress is next! My vision is still a work in progress, but I'm a bit closer to my ultimate bed haven.
