Electric Blue envy

carrie-room

Love Love LOVE Carrie Bradshaw’s chic and giddy apartment face lift in this years SATC movie.  Its a much needed upgrade from her previous style, and I mean ‘of the home’ of coarse!  We know the girl has style from head to toe, but her apartment was always left such a blank canvas on which her life exploded upon.  It was quite  refreshing to see she got the memo that her apartment should be fabulous and at long last mirror her playful personality.  The color is from the Benjamin Moore Deck, Electric Blue 2061-40.  It would be lovely in an eggshell or matte finish in a crisp white kitchen or powder room as well.  Oh colors I love you so…carrie_bedroom

Fiber Optics wallpaper

Designer Camilla Diedrich has designed a line of fiber optic wallpapers.  Yes that’s right, FIBER OPTIC WALLPAPER!!!  Her Nature Ray Charles series comes in several different colors and can be purchased for about $231 a roll.  Because we mortals need a constant means for overstimulation on every level.    I think this would be great for a restaurant or a nightclub but I am having a difficult time trying to figure out which one of my “mom” clients would be interested in having a glowing wall in there lovely home.  Dont get me wrong though…if the budget allowed, i would definitly be investing in a glowing accent wall for mi casa.  Its too cute not too love!

Stenciled Stair cases Oh my!

staircases11

I stumbled across this picture today and have become instantly inspired.  Firstly, It makes me desperate to rip up the yucky carpet adorning our stairs and get to stenciling.  But, alas, we are currently renting, and I question my landlords desire to have a chic set of stenciled stairs depsite her brave bold choice of  grape juice purple painted walls.

So now I am looking for a brave, bold client, who is ready to take on a whole new arena for painting.  Any takers?
