Rockin’ the Casbah with Sherbert Colors

30 Sep

Surfing Etsy, I stopped by CasbahMinis’s shop for new fine furnitures finds.  This pairing’s interesting – stoic, square black velvet against brilliant raspberry, lemon and orange.  As the description reads, “these pieces pair beautifully with the Maharaja’s Princess bed,” which I profiled a few posts ago.  Hot!

$85.00 for the pair.

Creative Curtain Rods

20 Sep

While pondering how I might decorate my Seattle apartment – which I’m supposed to leave unblemished and hence curtain-free – I stumbled across some creative curtain ideas, including this branch-turned-rod one.  Just dust off (no buggies!), spray paint, and mount as you wish. 

Ideally you wouldn’t actually move the drapes so you wouldn’t scrape any wood particles off the “hardware” and onto your head.  Might actually work for a dollhouse, too – and be more practical decor there.

Fashion a Rod from a Branch!

33 rooms, a house to die for! 

Its creator, Kathleen Gilbert, is looking for the Gilbert Mansion, which was last spotted on eBay in 2007.  Seven feet long, six feet tall, 2.5 feet wide.  Oh yeah!

Thanks Sumaiya Mehreen for the report.
