The Thing I cannot quit: The Kilim Rug

Can we talk about my undying love for the kilim rug? I mean the obsessions started a good 4 years ago, and the bond between the rugs and I has gotten stronger as time goes by. I feel that some automatically feel like this rug is only for western or tribal decor, and those that think that could not be further from the truth. What I love about the rugs is the story they tell. In my humble opinion (which is oh so humble) these babies are the most transitional rug at this very moment.  Count it. They bring color, they bring texture, they bring pattern and can be mixed and matched in modern and even traditional spaces. Trust me when I say, this floor art is going to bring that worldly element into your space that has always been missing. Boom.

Wish List

You guys. I need a wish list, like I need a hole in the head. Let me try this again, and with more accuracy. I need a wish list like I need a new pair of shoes. Which in my professional opinion (which is very professional), I need more of each and every day. So here I am, Wednesday wishing, and in no particular order. I mean it may be seasonally bi-polar, but I am certain I don't care. If being seasonally bi-polar is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Etsy Spotlight: Custom Acrylic Designs

Good morning gals! I have to tell you, this Monday shiz is for the birds. It is taking everything in me to get up and get rolling on this dreary morning. Alright. Show of hands. Who likes things in the form of lucite? Yametoo. I stumbled across an Etsy shop called Custom Acrylic Designs that is rocking lucite things left and right. Coffee tables, console tables, desks and chairs...you name it, they are making it. The thing that kills me most about lucite is that it is generally so freaking expensive. Tough pill to swallow since it can just appear as plastic to the untrained eye. So here you have it, high quality and stylish on the cheap. You 're welcome.

Wish List: A Wingback bed

Hola chicas. Como estas? I figured as much. Look on the bright side, we are hump daying it like nobody's business today. So what better way to celebrate this day of hump than sharing like a Wednesday Wish List. Y'all, I know this is going to come as a shock, but at any given time I have a working wish list going both in my head and on my phone. It can change at any moment, and obviously must be documented. I mean I have the memory of an elephant, but who can be expected to note all of those sudden changes? Amirite? So what I currently cannot live without this current moment, is a wingback bed. Yes, an exaggerated, over the top, tufted, wingback bed. And while we are on the subject of wishlists, I am requesting juju hat that rests over my wingback headboard. So there. Let's explore the world of wingbacks, shall we?

Shop KC Local: Trapp & Company

For you local folks, I would be incredibly shocked if you were not familiar with the famous Trapp & Company. While we all know (you should) this is THE spot to get the best floral arrangements within a 100 mile radius, you might not be privy to the fact that they have a fabulous home decor and gift shop right inside their palace of flowers. I am talking the absolute best candles (that are made by Trapp themselves), delicious gourmet jarred foods and sauces for the chef in you, top notch home decor items and even fashionable accessories. They have it all, my peeps. Lucky for you, a lot of it is available online to you out of towners. Here is a little gift basket these dolls threw together for me. 
Let's dissect the basket, shall we?

My Scalamandre book (from the store) doing it's job.

 Trapp Candles in every variety.
The most adorable selection of Wabags. Don't worry, I got myself one.
