Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'

Now that I've found the bamboo bedside tables I've been searching for, I can finally move forward with the guest room design. Although my move in date is at least 9 months away, I think we can all agree that it's a good idea to start early. I mean, seriously, it took 6 months just to find the right nightstands!

These lily lamps are the room's jumping off point.
Obviously they will need new shades and finials:

Of course, each lamp will sit atop one of these
vintage faux bamboo Thomasville nightstands:

The new bedside tables will get a lick of Herringbone

Perhaps I'll add a pair of these pretty knobs
from Haveli Home to the drawer fronts:

I would love to use this Ophelia fabric as drapery
since there are so many colours to play with:

But that would mean this Sanderson Lilia
wallpaper is out of the question:

A tufted headboard covered in a plush velvet
will add a touch of luxury and warmth:

I've decided on this creamy Pearl for the walls

SR30, Para Paints, Sarah Richardson Designer Palette:

The bedding will be restful, like this simple

Lexington Quilt in pearl from West Elm:

It's all starting to come together!

Lily Lamps Resurface

So those Vintage Lily Lamps I posted about a few weeks ago somehow managed to find their way to my house. The fact that I have no idea what to do with them is kind of the point of this post. Yesterday while browsing through wallpapers at Primetime Paint & Paper (formerly Ontario Paint & Wallpaper), I found some gorgeous papers with hits of chartreuse that coordinate beautifully with these new lovelies. Wouldn't either of these combinations make an amazing bedroom focal wall? Hmmmm......

Vintage Lily Lamps

Do you ever have urges to purchase items for which you have zero space, and which match with absolutely nothing else in your home? My latest craving is for a pair of vintage chartreuse calla lily lamps. With new shades and finials, these could be the jumping off point for an entire room:

At $60.00 for the pair, I almost can't afford not to buy them, right? Who's with me?
