Perfect Zebra Bench : Found!

This weekend I found what I thought was the perfect Zebra bench for my front hall! 

I fell in love with it! But realized that it was probably too big for the hallway. I put it on hold until the end of the night and went to look at a couple of other stores. 

As my friend and I were walking out of the store we saw a similar but smaller wrought iron bench! 

I sat down on the bench to test it, and determined it was perfect! I picked it up and carried it to the cash! 

Not only is this bench amazing - I will also be able to recover it when I get tired of Zebra print! 

Home Sense & Bouclair Beauties!

The other day on my lunch with a friend we ventured into Home Sense - at my request of course, to see if I could find a floor lamp. Of course there was not a single floor lamp in the store, not one! There were several the other week when I went - but I was not looking for lamps at that point. 

Naturally I found other items that I just had to bring home with me! 

If you follow my blog you may have seen the "keep calm and add sugar" and tea containers that I bought a couple of weeks ago - at the same Home Sense! This week I found two of these mugs, because sometimes I like things to match! 

And I also got this adorable teapot for when friends come over, or in the winter when it gets chilly! 

Now I have a whole keep calm tea set! I didn't think tea could get any more soothing until I saw this teapot! What a find! 

I also got this really funky necklace tree to go with my zebra theme! I already have a necklace tree but it is so over crowded that another one will not go wrong. 

Lastly I found this amazing little shoe ring holder that I absolutely cannot live without! 

I apologize for the less than stellar photos, my room is a moving mess and I am not revealing that to anyone! 

After work I made a stop in at Bouclair to look for floor lamps. I had found a really nice one that I liked online at home depot of all places! Home Depot was recommended by another friend for accent pieces, I was shocked at all of the nice decor pieces that they have! I always keep them in mind for buying paint or fix-it items, but not fancy lamps! 

I bought this lamp to go in my living room! The jewels are detachable so if I ever tire of them I can take them off and just have a plain lamp. This one I got from Bouclair and it was half the price of the one at home depot! 

I also bought two of these purple jewel pillows for my bed. I want to paint my bedroom grey and have purple accents. This was the perfect shade of purple for me so I decided to buy them so that I can pick out a grey shade of paint that will work well with them. 

Where the Wild Things Are: Zebra!!

I want a couple of wild animal print accent pieces like these ones!

I would really like something like this at the end of my bed however, I need one with storage. The condo I am moving in to doesn't have the most amount of storage you've ever seen so I need to maximize storage where ever possible.

I did get to thinking, if I bought a wide storage ottoman for the end of my bed I could always cover it in zebra print fabric! I think finding exactly what I want for storage in a zebra print would be like finding a needle in a haystack. I need a place to store my spare bedding and I think the right size ottoman would do this perfectly. I'm sure that fabric stores have zebra

Now this is a rug!!

This Zebra Rug is just amazing and so RAW!

I really want a zebra rug but I want a high pile so that it is almost like a shag. I'm going to have to wait until I move however before I can determine the best size.

I am wondering if I can have dark purple accents with the Zebra rug when the furniture is going to be black and the walls are going to be grey...... ?

Or maybe I should go with Zebra print accents as well?

Wild jungle zebra pillows?

You can't have pillows without a matching wild throw!

Maybe I can save the purple accents for in my bedroom.... decisions, decisions......
