Chrome Hearts Lunettes De Soleil
725 EUR - colette.fr
so these 2 posts are my room and outfit that i made from Polyvore. I did the outfit first because i knew what kind of outfit i wanted right away. I like using light colours especially white and pink. these colour are very calming and girly. I found the dress first and really liked the white with jewels and glitter because it was elegant but yet not over the top. the rest of the outfit just came into place. Then i went to find pieces for my room. i chose the colours that i wanted to use which were still white and pink. Then i found pieces to go with it including the table and bed.i would love to have this outfit and room for myself. but the outfit is very expensive!

DIY
the project i chose to do for my DIY project is to decorate a lampshade. equipments and materials needed were just paint of my colour choice and paintbrushes. i found an old lampshade that i no longer use and decided to repaint and make a new design out of it. i liked the neutral look but wanted to make it darker and add white as its accent. i used a tanned colour as the base and painted the whole lampshade. i waited and let it dry out for a night before i did the next step then i decided to go with curves and swirls to make it flow and not sharp looking. liked this DIY project because i like painting but don't find time to do it since i don't take any art classes. it's nice to be doing something i like once in awhile.VICKY HONG
DIY Lamps, by berinder purewal
The DIY lamp I chose was this gallon lamp.I like the idea of reusing milk cartons as a lamp.They are environmentally friendly and look really unique.In my opinion they look kinda of cheap and ugly but I thought they were a really creative use of milk cartons.Im suprised they used plastic milk cartons because they could have easily melted.The strings they hang from make them look really bad I definately would not want these in my house.
Lamps are a important part of design because they can add alot to a room.They come in all different colours, sizes and shapes.Big lamps can be used a focus points in rooms to tie them together or little lamps can be used as accent pieces.Lamps serve a double purpose in rooms they help light and add decoration.
I love candles but mostly cause of there smell I always make my mom buy them for
me but not as decoration pieces just to light and cause of the smell, my favourites
are vanilla.But candle holders can give the room a really nice affect.I like this candle holder cause the black swirls makes it flow.This would be great detaling in a room and would tie it together.
I personally dont like these candle holders but I've never seen anything like them before.There really funky.I would never put these in my house but they do look unique.The candle holders in this picture are in the shape of people.The far right one looks like its playing the drums.It looks really playful and I think would work well in a artsy room.
These candle holders go on walls. I like the design using the black swirl detailing.
What makes these candle holders different is that they go on walls rather than being the center piece on tables.These I think would really add detail to walls in any room.

free blog friday, by berinder purewal
Today im writing about headboards.Headboards are used for decorations as much as for practical uses. They range from very simple to elaborate.Color and material are also important features in headboards. Modern or antique, headboards are a must in bedrooms.Headboards have many differnent benefits they can be used to hold storage if they have shelves or be center piece in design of your room.Headboards come ain a wide range of varieties so im going to show you some I like.
Wooden headboards give the room a rich look.They tend to last longer then a fabric covered ones.They come in dark or light finishes of solid harwoods like oak,maple and cherry.Lighter wooden headboards tend to brighten the room to set off features in other bedroom furniture as well.
Metal headboards are available in a wide selection of styles and costs.Metal headboards can be found in a wide variety of finishes to work well with just about any design scheme you have in your bedroom.Metal headboards are durable and easy to update when you want a change.There are lots of different metal finishes such as iron, aluminum, steel, bronze, gold, and silver but making sure it goes with your room is very important.
This was another cool metal headboard I found.Its in a weird kind of shape but the detailing really fits well with room.
Leather headboards are my favourites.Leather headboards are durable and sturdy because fabric can easily wear out and get stains while wood can get chipped.They are easy to maintain and keep clean just try and avoid scratches.Leather headboards give rooms a very sleek modern look.window treatments, by berinder purewal
Today im writing about curtains,blinds and roman shades.Curtains and blinds are very versitile and can be used in almost any room.With a wide vareity and style of them in the market they can really make a big difference in a room.They play an important role in completing the decor of a home and should be chosen wisely so that they go well with the setting and texture of the room. Curtains and blinds help to control the amount of light in a particular room. Also, there are lots styles and materials of curtains and blinds that you can decide from.Curtains and blinds are not just used in living rooms they can also be used in bedrooms and bathrooms aswell.
These curtains add a pop of colour to a neutral room which may otherwise look kind of boring and plain.This is why curtains are so versitile.Curtains work well with big windows and can give the room a elegant feel.
Blinds can add beauty and practicality to windows,they are the most popular choice for light control and privacy.These wooden blinds are great for light control and can't be bent or curved like other blinds.The color of these wooden blinds is beautiful and natural and does not over power the room.Also,they go with various color options that can harmonize with the interior space.
Roman shades,I love these!I think roman shades look so sophisticated and modern.Roman shades give rooms a very clean look and there classic lines are ideal for any style or look of a home.They make your room like neat and uncluttered.I really like how they are used in the picture above they go really well with the room and add to the beachish theme going on.
