Ah-mazing. Dear Salty Bourbon Banana Cream Pie, Get in my belly.
I could probably do without the little figurine in here—it comes across a little “themey” for me—but everything else about it I’m in love with. The rounded front on the vanity makes it feel smaller in the tiny space, while still being large enough to be functional. The amazingly gorgeous and detailed wallpaper, the simple tailored mirror, and my favorite part? The tiny pink flowers. A tiny pop of pink in a room of neutrals makes me giddy.
Black and white striped curtains, vertical or horizontal, are my new obsession. It is a pattern that fits in nearly any decor and adds such a fun and unexpected stark contrast that is so bold and so playful. I love how a modern table (found at Ikea!) was paired with some thrift store chairs painted white. White paint can make anything absolutely amazing and sophisticated. The coffee table is great, with the clear glass and white legs it just floats there, not looking too heavy for the small space.
I adore the simplicity of the graphic metal cage around the pendant shade. It gives the feel of a great, grand chandelier without the overly fussy and detailed mass hanging overhead. So beautiful and chic.
I love love love how classic the striped rug and polka dot pillows look. The traditional bedframe and headboard have almost a beachy feel with the palette used with the linens, but then there’s this playful modern twist with the fun, feminine mirrored side table, and funky fringe chandelier. And you know I love me a subdued animal print throw!
Deuteronomy 22:13-21 (via alnator)
I understand what you are getting at and people who follow the bible so rigidly and use whatever religion for hate, using what applies to them only, is just awful… But this is from the old testament. we aren’t expected to sacrifice animals anymore, either. I’m all for outing hypocracy especially when people use the bible to condemn interracial love or homosexuality or anything in that realm I just think all the facts should be out there.
