indulging in my girlie side

for the most part i tend to stay away from pink, floral patterns and anything overly girlie. in fact i find myself needing to be surrounded by greys, blues, dark browns and deep but vibrant greens in order to be happy. however i have this huge soft spot for the random frilly piece and today when i found nice (thank you poppytalk) i found a few things i might be able to incorporate into our home ... maybe.

we have a serious lack of storage space in our apartment, which is pretty comical since it is nearly twice as big as our place in chicago, so i was thinking about hanging hooks (a very many of them all different) along our very narrow front hall wall. you know so i can hang my purse, jacket, scarf, etc. perhaps this guy could hang out amongst the hooks? {available here}



and while i am pretty sure this would get nixed by mas for in the house ... maybe i could swing this light shade in my work area? oh i love it so. {available here}
