Room Of The Week Aka Proof There Is A Heaven

If you or anyone you know ever question if Heaven exists, or what it looks like (personally I picture a young handsome Jesus wearing a tuxedo shirt and playing a round of poker), I insist you look at this gorgeous room – especially that soft, inviting, don’t-you-just-want-to-fall-back-onto it, cloud-like bed.  The nude-colored candy stripe wallpaper is girly and contrasts – yet completely works with – the rustic wood flooring.  Which, thankfully, prevents the room from looking like an angel just ralphed all over the place.  The billowy, slightly transparent curtains allow *just* enough light into the room but not so much you can’t have your peaceful mid-day nap curled up in the soft cottony covers.

Anthropologie’s currently selling a similar duvet cover, the Georgina Duvet Cover, which is pretty as well, but a bit overwhelming, as it overfloweth in the frou frou girliness department, if ya ask me.

On another note, this week I’ll be thinking of my dear friend and co-blogette Steph and her family, especially her adorable grandmother Ruthie who is especially in our thoughts.  She was the most loving grandma and wife to Bud for 65 (!) years, and she’ll be missed.  Love you Ruthie.

This Ain’t Yo Mama’s Office aka Office Of The Week

This, to me, is pure, unadulterated brain candy.  LOOK at this adorable little corner, this little homemade professional space.  The owner has done such a tremendous job balancing a few looks into one nook that you forget it’s just a small little corner of a room.  The white scalloped table is playful and chic, holding a seemingly fresh bunch of flowers to the side.  The flowers are balanced on the other side with a topiary plant, drenched by sunlight, adding another bit of nature to the office area and some warmth.  The clippings posted to the mirror lend an unfussy aestethic to the corner, reminding us that this is someone’s haven for creativity.

That blue fabric wallpaper is deep and serious, while the adorable little dark coral foot rest is a dollop of fun.

I love it all!

Happy Thursday.
