Golden Globes

Update! I am still totally in love with gold! I thought that maybe I was leaving my go-to-gold-and-gray color palette for my new lover chrome-and-camel, and, don't get me wrong, C & C is totally my boyfriend on the side but Gold remains my long term love. We're soul cell mates as my husband likes to say. How was my burning desire for gold rekindled you ask? I'm pretty sure it was the exact second I saw this puppy:

What is wrong with this picture? Yeah, that's right: Nothing. This example of walking / talking perfection comes from the design duo meier / ferrer

While this is most certainly enough to rekindle a waning romance, I knew my love was never really gone since I can't seem to get this light out of my head:

The Sciolari ceiling light in Kelly Wearstler's own home is nothing short of amazeballz. I have a few personal spaces I'm working on right now and I want this light for all of them.

I will also be willing to settle for this gold gem. (BTW thank you Andrea for the find!)

Although I think I'm going to have to forego the $4500 light and spring for something more like this. It's gold, I'll be fine.

Oh! I'll especially be fine if it looks like this. See, I really just will never get over gold. And it is with every fiber of my being that I say: Yes, I absolutely would 100% live here:

Yep. All over it.

Tigers in Your Face

Last week after I posted the magical Diane Von Furstenberg leopard rug kt left a comment with a link to her dreamy tiger rug:

When she said it was in her nursery, I was pretty jealz, but when she said it was only $200 I went into full-blown freak out mode. I couldn't believe that I had just finished my own tiger-friendly nursery and never knew that ebay held such cheap tigerly riches. Of course, I raced right over.

What I found was nothing short of magical:

Ok, so I know many of you don't share my affinity for tacky animal decor but just amuse me for a day. I mean, really, you may not want this in your house but you can not deny the awesome power of this white tiger astral area rug. Holy fuck, it rulz.

Are you feelin it? Well then go on with your bad self and spend the $63.20 to make this 5' x 8' rug yours. YES, SIXTY THREE DOLLARS FOR AN 8 FOOT RUG. I'm sure it's 100% flammable, but it's also 1,000% awesome. Original link here, but if it's expired, just search "black midnight tiger rug." You're welcome.
