It’s Pinterest day, which basically means I don’t have two spare seconds to rub together and must, therefore, rely on the goodness of the internet to provide fodder for today’s post. Thankfully I follow some fantastic pinners, so busting out the jams is easy breezy. Trust.
I have many takeaways from this image: I need to paint some supergraphics up in this joint, that sofa must be mine, and Acid Wasp is alive and well.
Still loving curtains, may have to throw some jade into the mix.
I know I am going to offend someone, but I loathe those chairs — mostly because I had a similar set and they are so freaking hard to pull up to the table. But I do love that crazy antique lion paw table paired with fresh, clean chairs.
This is eerily similar to our office layout — similar paint, couch, room size, etc. That’s even where I plan to put the desk. Digging the french doors and garden stool cum coffee table. Want to burn the Union Jack (sorry, England — it’s not you, it’s me).
Ike’s new room. BOOM.
Or wait — maybe this one? I mean… dayum.
I kind of let you down during Wallpaper Week, but can I make up for it by telling you my new secret wallpaper crush is Schumacher’s tortoiseshell? I really hope the sample doesn’t win my heart because it’s $350/roll.
And finally, tomorrow I theoretically fly to Hawaii. With a two year old and a bleeding hole in my uterus. The doc has given me the ok to fly, but I go in for one more sonogram in a couple of hours to make sure the situation looks stable.
Cross your fingers for me because my mom is getting married to an awesome dude and I don’t want to miss the wedding. Also I could really use a vacation from staring at these walls. I’m hoping the rental looks something like the picture above.
So maybe I’ll be back tomorrow, but hopefully I’ll be boarding the plane and I’ll next see you all bright and early Monday, April 2, rife with reports of volcanoes and saltwater.
Kisses!

No let down on wallpaper week. I reopened the search, and will spend the next 3 months deluding myself that I will actually buy proper wallpaper.
The circus tent ceiling is to die for. DO IT!
Have a spectacular time in Hawaii…take some jaunty snapshots and share them with us!
And Mazel Tov to yo’ mama!
Yes I AM aware that I repin like 112% of your pins so let’s not make this awkward…
Have fun in Hawaii and be well!
Erin! Good luck on your flight. May Ike be chill and may you have many stacks of good reading material to peruse. xoxo
Just tried to subscribe to your newsletter and it said this account is not currently active. Have you changed providers?
Happy thoughts – good luck!
Prayers for a safe trip, for all involved.
I LOVE that pinstriped wallpaper and the burled-wood dresser. I love dark moody wall colors/papers, but in my house the color scheme (getting close to finished!) is rampant sunshine, all the time. But with 1.5 depressive people who work during all daylight hours, that may be the better course. So, next house, I steal all your colors.
And therefore I need to know: are you going to do the circus-tent paint treatment on Ike’s ceiling, for real? Painting over red and white would be monstrous, but that is truly awesome and I want you to do it. (I think you need picture rail with no crown molding to do that easily, and I actually have that in several rooms – but I do NOT have kids, and after painting over the blue-and-lime-green sponge-painted room with the rainbow flounder switchplate, which was a TEEN’S bedroom decor [?!], NO MORE KIDDIE DECOR. Unless I have a child, in which case I guess I will revisit.)
O&L has a tortoise shell too. I bet it’s less. Was planning on getting a sample myself
Really hoping th doctor visit went well and you are on a plane right now!
xo Nay
hawaii? really?!?! fuck that’s awesome.
I love the last picture, just reminds me of a luxury beach shack somewhere. I have the perfect client who would love something like this, just not sure if it would be ‘liveable’ enough for them.
You know I love your pins! Here’s to hoping your weekend is going well and Hawaii is treating you well (how cool)!
Thank you for this! I think it’s great that we have people like you!
I love the library-dining room room! And the way pink clashes with the dark walls!
omg erin, how did I miss the post about the bleeding hole in your uterus? I’ve been absent as of late. Hope all is well with you and your boys. Enjoy Hawaii!
They have so much gorgeous spaces on Pinterest
