A mini reveal

Tomorrow I am off to Santa Barbara for the weekend. I’ve never been there before and absolutely cannot wait. If you have any recommendations, please share!! And while I am gone I have a couple VERY lovely ladies who are going to be visiting.
But before I left, I wanted to share my bench that is newly recovered!
First, this is how it used to look:
Does it get more 80s then this? I think this pattern was the 80s version of ikat. Ew.
Anyways, here it is now: 
Doesn’t look like much does it…?
But then you see it up close:
And maybe through my bad iPhone pictures, you see that it is actually navy blue velvet and tufted!!!
And from far away, it looks very purdy too
Next week, I’ll take some daytime pictures so you can really see. But I wanted to share, since I promisedddd I would!
Have a great weekend pumpkins. xoxo

Lavish Lighting

Unusual light fixtures is one of those luxuries that completely MAKES a room. I have a serious lighting wishlist for my own house. Only 2 of which have been fulfilled since we moved in. The closet and the guest bedroom. Next up, kitchen island and bedroom.
Here are some spaces that are everything because of their lighting
This would be so boring without those bubbles, don’t you think?

Sort of looks like this fixture, but adorned with vines and flowers. So romantical.

Seen this before and I LOVE it. A softer more feminine sputnik.

My fantasy light fixture. Seriously. Insanity.
Don’t even know what to say. Its just good.
 Do you have a light fixture that is #1 on your wish list? Am I insane for writing this passionately about lighting? (don’t answer that one)
