Weekly Wishlist: Dreamy Home Goods


Hey guys! Since I've got updating my house on my mind, I decided to share a wishlist today for some real pretty home goods. Some of these are super reasonable and will likely make their way into my home shortly, whereas some of them are a litttttttle bit out of my price range and may just stay in the house of my dreams.

First, up, guys, I have a hall. It's kinda cool. I think it would be super fun to jazz up that hallway with this gorgeous hall runner from Anthropologie. My hall is decorated with embroidery so I think this pretty rug would look perfect in there! And hey, ya know, why not pair a fancy rug with embroidery pieces you spent less than $5 on at the thrift store. It's more fun that way, I think!

In other rug news, while I certainly don't need a rug for my living room, this fox rug from Anthropologie is too dreamy for words and I would positively die every time I saw it if it were in my house. Seriously. So. Damn. Pretty.

I'm also really antsy to switch out the curtains in my living room. The place came with these green monstrosities (they're actually not that bad) that collect cat hair like nobody's business and really darken up the room. I'd love to make the switch to a combination of pretty wood blinds, like these affordable ones from IKEA, and some pretty sheers. I actually already have a couple of sets of these sheers in my bedroom since my neighbor was nice enough to give them to me, and I'd love to put them up in the living room, too. They give things a nice airy feel and really brighten up and tie together the room.

Storage in my place, while certainly not nonexistent, is less available than I'd like. I love the idea of this wall organizer from Urban Outfitters and think it would be a dreamy way to store craft supplies like spools of thread and paint. I've got some decent wall space so it might be a good way to go!

Last, but not least, I'd love to get a pretty new bathmat and probably some matching towels. Some certain cats of mine have totally destroyed the ones I have and I'd love to replace them with something pretty. Admittedly, while this is the easiest and most practical thing I'd like to replace, I'll probably wait another year or so and see if the cats get a little less kitten-like by the time they reach 3 years old. 

Anyway, that's what I'm wishing for this week! Is there anything you're after to liven up your living space?

Til next time!

  3. That fox rug is AMAZING. And freaking expensive. Sigh. One can dream, right?
    Hehehe. "Some certain cats of mine" that made me laugh. I miss having a cat, but man they CAN destroy things. At least they make up for it by being so darn adorable and fluffy.

    1. Right! I'm dreaming really hard for that rug and trying to figure out if there's a way I can justify spending an absorb amount of money on it (there's not.). Yea, Buddy and Hank make up for their destruction in spades! Such cute little guys!

  4. Dude, that paintable wallpaper is killing me. I need it right now. I have a chevron striped wall in my bathroom that is on the outs and I think that this wallpaper would be the perfect thing to replace it with!!

  6. Argh, the French Language Charter strikes again! Tried to view that adorable wall organizer to no avail. I've always wanted a shadow box - was actually thinking that this would be a nice way to display vintage writing tools in my office. I'll have to scour the flea markets here in QC! :-)

    1. Noooo!!!!! Damn charter! If you wanted I could see if it was possible to order it and ship it to you and you could just paypal me the money. Let me know! I bet that would look adorable.

  7. The paintable wallpaper *SWOON* Oh wow, I love it! I love ALL of it!

    My boyfriend is leaving for three months soon and I want to spruce up while he's gone! That wallpaper has given me inspiration!

    1. Aren't they pretty? I wish there was one there, too, for you! Though, trust me, you'd end up blowing way too much money there!

    1. You may be one of the only people I know who is excited about the prospect of moving! Re-decorating is a blast though. In my case, the re-decorating is just taking about a billion years (ok, going on 2 years). Isn't that rug the prettiest???
