where the fizzy is my elle decizzy?

 no..for real...where is it?

 i have gone into 2 different book stores this week EVERY DAY checking for it's release..

is it just me or is the feb. issue later than usual?

or am i just a crackwhore for shelter mags?

don't answer that..

here are some classics from elle decor to tide us over..

chevron floors, floor to ceiling window and a serge?

that's all you need.

i know. 

i love this room.  

i want to have cocktails with you in it.

lavender and chocolate velvet.

a neutral alternative for the color phobes...

here's to a happy, beautiful weekend filled with heavy drinking, chocolate raping, bath taking, and of course...

as always..

farting.

like

 i like..

a giant coffee table. 

tiny art, heavy on the matting and then all over the walls.

sofas that remind me of weimaraners. 

ikat walls.

honestly i can't stop staring at them.

those floors. 

faded rose and black.

(did i just say 'faded rose'?)

everything everything everythiiiiing!!!

this room is dreamy.

it is dreamy and it has balls.

i'll take dreamy with a side of balls.

i like..

that's all.

love

 does anyone know anything about this room?

is it a hotel?

i adore it.

the inlaid tables, the graphic fabric on the chairs,

and ESPECIALLY those all black chairs!

they totally keep this room from being too sickly sweet..

that and the quirky photography.

it's very romantic and over the top. 

not at ALL what i would normally love.

i think you could translate this room into a more realistic version for your own home beautifully..

or i could.

*****UPDATES!  this room belongs to alexis and trevor traina.  they live in san fransisco and they are stupid rich.

this photo is from a vogue magazine shoot.

thank you valerie!

winter

it can suck.

but if we have to endure it (and we do)

let's at least embrace the fact that we can watch it's beauty (or a fire or a plate of brownies or crap tv) from the inside of our warm and cozy homes...

(you're welcome)

(poor sweet fishface)

78 more days of winter.

maybe less (thank you global warming)

maybe more (fuck you global warming)

color combo for old times sake (and for susie who also loves this color combo and it's her birthday)

i haven't done one of these in a long time.

a monday color combo.

and it's not monday so that's weird.

but...

lately i can't get this image out of my head:

the rust and black combo is way good.

i have a few yards of rust velvet that i got for 8 bucks!!

i want to eat it.

visions of rust and black:

(with variations in burnt orange and deep rusty red) 

happy birthday susie!
