Happy 4th!
{Etsy Love} Urban Walls
Hello again!
Today I've got another Etsy discovery for you! My sister-in-law once had a party for a wall decal company years ago, kind of like a Mary Kay party but for these products that have inspirational sayings or designs. They stick on your walls, but come down easily if you ever need them to. There are several different places to get these, but when I came across Urban Walls on Etsy, I loved how they had decals that looked like great wallpaper!
Here are some of my favorites:
Pretty amazing, huh? I don't see too many nurseries I like, but I love this one. Those stars are adorable! I'm personally drawn to the wallpaper look, but Urban Walls also has quotes and sayings and single images that both playful and stylish. Visit Urban Walls' Etsy store to see more. Danielle of Urban Walls also keeps a beautiful blog, full of gorgeous photography and decor ideas, so be sure to take a look there, too for some inspiration.
Happy Wednesday!
+ Do you have any experience with wall decals in your home?
+ Have you ever hosted one of those parties (Mary Kay, Thirty-One, etc.)? Did you get lots of free stuff?

Bar Carts for Non-Drinkers
Sometimes, when I'm out thrifting and having no luck, my mind wanders back to the thrifty finds that got away. There was a day a few months back, when I was wandering through Urban Market (formerly Charlie's) and I spotted two swanky brass bar carts. They were each priced just right at around $35, and they didn't even look too bad as is. I had seen so many inspiring images with bar carts, but I remember foolishly thinking, "But I'm not a drinker. What would I put on it?"
So, in my case, stocking up a Mad Men-style bar cart in my living room would be pretentious and just silly expensive.
But, I have good news! Fortunately for people like me, there are some geniuses out there on the internet who have been looking into this problem for themselves. Take a look at all these amazing ways bar carts can be used to hold items other than liquor. If you find yourself in a flea market and you come across an amazing bar cart at a great price, buy it! You can always:
+ Load it up with books. You know how I love decorating with books. {Image Source}
+ Use it as a plant stand. Wouldn't it look great packed full of greenery and parked in front of a bright window? {Image Source}
+ Put your record player on top, and fill the bottom with your record collection. Uh-oh. I like books, plants, and records. Conundrum! {Image Source}
+ Store bathroom necessities. I don't yet have a real bar cart, but I do have an old microwave cart that is currently serving this very purpose in our bathroom. It adds some extra counter space to our bathroom, since we have a pedestal sink, and it's a great way to store the items that should be in plain sight to guests (extra toilet paper, guest towels, etc.). {Image Source}
+ Create a coffee station. Do you have "stations" in your home? I like the idea of a coffee station, where all the supplies are kept in a convenient place. This is really just the same line of thinking as a bar cart, just for coffee drinkers, and near an electrical outlet. {Image Source}
+ Or, you know, just use it like a shelf. The bar cart thing makes me want to designate it as a special place for only a certain category of my things, but a great looking bar cart would look just fine parked somewhere in your home and covered in all your well-curated stuff. Eddie Ross has a great step-by-step tutorial on arranging your belongings in an artful way, so check it out and don't be afraid to use that cart for whatever your heart desires!
So tell me...
+ Do you have a bar cart in your home? What do you keep on it?
+ Do you watch Mad Men?
-I'm a little obsessed, although more with the furnishings than the storyline.
Have a great day!
Yes, it's true: I don't enjoy drinking. I don't have a problem with anyone who does-responsibly, of course-but I just don't enjoy it. For me, even one drink means a headache the next day. It's just not a good time:
