Butterfly wallpaper

the hanging swing....

when asked what every household needs, jonathan alder summed it up best:

The hanging chair. Every house should have a hanging chair. There is a constant battle over who gets to sit and swing...

well let the battle begin, because as of yesterday, i can now say that our household is the proud owner of one! sitting in a pile of junk (literally, it was next to a walker), i scored this amazing vintage rattan swing for a major steal. i don't think anyone in the store had a clue what it was...i have wanted a swing for so long and was sick to my stomach when i passed one up 2 yrs ago. i want to put it in taylor's big girl room. wouldn't you have loved a swing in your room?!! or she would fit nicely on our future home's porch (i am sure it will have a great one- ha ha). regardless, i couldn't be more excited!

but beyond that, this really just solidifies my idea that you really can find anything you might want out there for a steal....you just have to be patient b/c you never know when it might show up.....

The Designer's Attic...

i'd like to introduce you to my newest venture....the designer's attic. it's a new blog i have created out of necessity. i live in a town jam-packed with goodies and it is impossible for me not buy an item when i spot a steal. my poor attic is busting at the seams with treasures i have held onto in hopes of eventually having a home for them. now, these little guys are ready to have a new home with you...

so what's in store at the designer's attic? items like thomas o'brein sconces, cole and son, osborne and little, victoria hagan fabric, sea cloth, and some vintage finds thrown in the mix. i will be updating regularly with my latest treasures so keep checking if you don't spot something that interests you right away!! and don't worry, pink wallpaper will definitely not suffer in the process! the only change will be that the feature fabric will now be on the designer's attic!

on another note, i just want to say a huge thank you to all of my readers. i am so blown away with the support, comments, and friendships that have developed from pink wallpaper...y'all are just the BEST! i never knew that all of this could happen from starting a little blog :)
