On Being Bold

While I can't easily answer the question "what's my style," and seem to have an ever evolving, sometimes contradictory opinion about what I like and what I don't like, I'm increasingly coming to realize that 9 times out of 10, what really gives me a hard on is this: being bold.

It's hard to describe exactly what being bold even means, as of course, it's different for us all. But for me I feel like being bold often means doing the unexpected thing...the thing that most people wouldn't think of and even if they did, they'd be scared to actually do it.

Like a black fucking sink. I mean, who does that!? ROMAN AND WILLIAMS DO IT, BTCHZ, THAT'S WHO. And if that sink doesn't make you faint, than you smoke far too much weed. Cause come awn! It's epic!

And it's in a fairly traditional looking kitchen with simple white cabs, and hello = BOLD.

In Praise of Blankets

So, I didn't even realize this shit until I read this Remodelista post, but I'm officially over duvets. And this is all because I like blankets....A LOT.

I think duvets look messy and floppy. Also my dog gets em REALLY dirty. I mean, I guess if I had a full-time housekeeper who could launder and iron that shit like whoa it would be ok. Cause it's not that I *dislike* duvets...but I just think blankets look neater. And also less fussy, I guess. We happen to have an upholstered bed, so yeah: they also look really nice tucked in.

Z Gallerie Gets No Respect

Why the hell doesn't anyone ever talk about Z Gallerie?? I don't get it.

True, they do have some weird shit. But they also have some fab, chic furniture and accessories, and its shockingly well priced. And if you must know, I'm totally dying over these turquoise leather wingback chairs.

And after looking at their website, there's like a million billion other things there that I want too.

[I'M OBSESSED] Mirror Mirror On The Wall...

I am obsessed with mirrors. Not looking into them, thank you very much, but using them as part of the decor in your home. I feel like I should be sick of them already...like isn't this a trend that's overdone?

But nope...I just keep on truckin.

We already have a mirrored coffee table (which I love), but truth be told: when I'm thinking about new shit for our apt, 50% of the time, a mirror is somehow involved.

So, here's a roundup of all sorts of gorge mirrored pics I've come across recently on the interwebz:
