i wish i could spend money on furniture right now. you don't know how awesome furniture is until you don't have any, seriously.

to soothe my furniture fix i decided to peruse some etsy furniture. there is a wide range, which isn't really surprising being etsy and all. anything from overpriced vintage to reasonable refurbished, you can find it there.

in any case, here is a roundup of my favorites, which i would totally snag for my new place---

White Oak Entry Table, by BrianDobler

Dragon Slayer Rocking Chair, by sprucehome

Koa Desk, by nativesonart

Contour Chair, by coldfiled

Thru-Block Wooden Coat Rack, by wuda

Vintage Factory Cart Coffee Table, by brandmojointeriors

and finally, the seriously awesome Doris Day Boudoir Chair, again by sprucehome (check out their shop! talk about some talented ladies)

forest murals...

there is something retro and cool about giant forest murals. my inspiration below from emma's designblogg---

mmm, so soothing.

i found a couple from muralsyourway.com that i would use. with bright reds and blues, this would be sweet to play with. anyone have other resources?

Carolina Herrera, Pre-Fall 2010...

absolutely stunning. i love the cut of the first dress and the geometric pattern is wild but perfect. any source of color in the very bleak Portland, Maine is savored. too bad it isn't summer now!
