H&M Sells Home Stuff!

Hi Everyone!

Did you know that H&M just recently opened their on-line store and they’re selling HOME STUFF!!  So Fun!  I’m in love with on-line window browsing.  Therapy.

If you actually shop in their stores, you know they have got some hip, funky clothes and the home line does not disappoint.  I’m not sure if it fits with my “age group” (hate to be all ancient sounding), but they have totally great stuff for college age kids and baby/kids.  Mostly, I think their stuff is perfect for early 20’s.  Then again…I did buy something.  (Got me there H&M.)

Okay, okay so there are definitely lots of cute things and a few ideas that I’m totally going to steal.  You will have to check out the line to see what I’m referring to with the age thing… maybe it’s just me??

If you order something use the code 0549 to get FREE SHIPPING!  My heart skips a beat when I hear the word free… it’s like one of those simple pleasure’s thing.  You can’t return in-store, but it’s not too bad to ship it back.  Hopefully everything is super great in person, but it never hurts to know what your options are.

And PLEASE, if you order something, email me!!  I want to hear your feedback!

I, myself, got the super cute pillow cover (last photo) and will let you know how it looks.  I’m also totally thinking about the towel for my son’s bathroom.  It’s so hard to say no…especially with the free shipping….(There’s a little devil on my right shoulder right now if you couldn’t tell).

Happy Hunting!

Plans for, like, everything!

Happy Monday y’all!

A week from today my twins will be 2.  Wwwaaaaa!  My babies won’t be babies anymore… deep breaths, deep breaths.  Can’t I just “Evie” this thing and make time stand still for a bit?!?

So, this week I’m working on a few birthday party crafts which I’ll share later.  (Taking a small break from The Mother- but I’ll be back in action next week!)  Sorry, no project today, but I wanted to share this blog with you.  Ana-White.com

Please check it out if you are interested in building sumthin’.  There are literally plans for whatever you’re thinking of and you can either do it yourself or hand it off to a carpenter to do the dirty work for ya.

I’m drooling over this Triple Bunk Bed.  Stack those kids up like sardines!  More room for mom’s stuff!!

After you’ve checked out the plans, take a peek at the the Brag Roll.  Real people, just like us, doing these projects.  Motivation!!

Yes, there are more than beds but I’m in a manic Monday kinda mood… and those beds look cozy.  And I’m totally feeling the yellow Rock poster – kinda cool for a teenage boy’s room.  I’ll have to store that in the ol’ brain for ideas in 10 years.

I hope you enjoy!!  And if you actually make something please, please email me!  I’d love to post your pictures!

Color Crush – Claret Rose

Howdy Do!!  How is everyone today?!

I am in good spirits, ready for a swim day today with the family…. at least that’s how I feel now.  Swim days are always super fun, but draining.  Even the kids crash out by 6:30 and then it’s Date Night!  Well, that’s what our date nights look like these days – a passed out kid snoring on the couch (probably drooling on my hard work!), Ed and I laughing through our exhaustion over the antics of these boys, maybe getting an hour to watch WHATEVER WE WANT!!  True Happiness, folks.

Enough gabbering on…

I recently pulled out a page of HGTV magazine showing a mudroom done in Benjamin Moore’s Claret Rose.

2008-20

It’s not a red, not a pink, not an orange… It’s really a mix of all three.  And I think it would go great with all the ethnic prints and tribals going on these days.  Are you questioning me now? Is it kinda starting to grow on you… a little…??

Trust.

Punchin’ up that White!  This room would be such a yawn without it.

Dare to go there?  Or here?  Or you know what I’m trying to say!

Please note the grey ceiling… keeps it from being too much.  And the white trim is necessary to break it all up… or else ya might get a cavity.

This is a happy room.  Yes?

This is a happening bar.  Yes?

I myself would probably go more like this…

The lucite pieces are Johnathan Adler, the Kilim is currently listed for sale on eBay, the stool is originally from Africa and is vintage, the art piece is made for you and is only $30 on Etsy by MyRoots (it’s a map of your home country!!), the console was custom made and the lamp is a mid century laurel chrome dome (which you can find on 1stdibs, eBay, flea markets).

I’d use Claret Rose on all the walls (’cause I’m bold like that) and then add punches of navy to ground the color, with a range of textures for playfulness (like the rough wood, patterned rug, and trimmed drapes).  Then, to add glamour, the lucite and shiny stuff- Classic, pretty and a welcome that says, I got IT going on.

Do you have any color crushes??  Any new fun color combinations??

Have a great weekend!  XOXO!
