Wishful Wednesday: Bettina

Posted in Wishful Wednesday, tagged , , , on August 25, 2010 | 5 Comments »

Welcome to my new series “Wishful Wednesday.” I have not been consistent with War Paint Wednesday and needed an excuse to gush over my current want of Pottery Barn’s Bettina Floral. It is no longer available, but you can find pieces on eBay. I Suwannee featured it last week (found here) and resparked my wonderlust.

I want it for our bedroom. We need a new duvet but I did just make curtains. The Bettina fabric looks similar to the fabric  (tablecloths and some napkins) I purchased to make pelmet boxes, drapes and possibly a pillow for our side room. Here is that fabric:

 

No, it is not as pretty but my fabric above is a napkin. My post about how I use the napkins and tablecloths will be posted next week.

I still want the Bettina bedding.

Throw Down

Posted in Bedroom, Decor, Living, Living Room, Shopping, tagged , , , , on July 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Recently, I have been on the hunt for a throw or blanket. It’s probably because I desperately look forward to Fall.

I still like Pottery Barn’s Bobble-Knit Throw, as mentioned in a previous post. (found here)

West Elm’s Pom Pom Throw

West Elm’s Chunky Tassel Throw

ZGallerie’s Bird Throw -I’d like it better if it came in something other black and white. I’d prefer navy.

Friday Find: Pottery Barn

Posted in Shopping, tagged , , on July 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

 This weekend I received the newest Pottery Barn catalog. You would think that I have purchased things from them, as I recently wrote about my lust of their velvet drapes. However, I cannot think of one thing I have purchased from Pottery Barn. I think that may change soon.

Bobble-Knit Throw

The care description says you have to put it inside a mesh bag to wash and lay flat to dry. I don’t believe I’ll take good enough care of it.

Abigail Silver-Plated Frames

The frames range in price of $19 to $39 and I dig them.

Frame Riser

The purpse of these is for overlapping frames. I have a some Audubon sketches I’d consider overlapping.

Mother may I?

Posted in Bedroom, tagged , , on June 10, 2010 | 2 Comments »

My latest obsession, what I check at least once a day, is Pottery Barn’s velvet drapes. They are currently on sale, as is shipping. They are not carried in stores. So, I cannot rub myself against check them out. However, my mother has ordered samples of them and I look forward to seeing them. Hopefully, she will share. I’m sure she will. She’s a good egg. My favorite colors are wheat and stone.

Stone

Wheat 
P.S. These drapes are shown in double width panels. Therefore, they are extra lust worthy.

The Glacier Blue is striking, but maybe too bold?

I’m sure many of you, particularly the boys, would agree that these are better than the floral fabric that has littered the blog as I’ve searched for our master bedroom drapes. What is your favorite color?

My version of Copy Cat Chic

Posted in Furniture, Other Blogs, Uncategorized, tagged , , , on April 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

The yellow chair from yesterday’s post (found here) encouraged me to keep looking for more yellow beauties. I found two that

Brooks Upholstered Chair from Pottery Barn
This chair is on sale and $629.00.

angelo: HOME Davis Armless Chair

This chair is found on Overstock and is $194.99. Thankfully, this does not include Angelo.

The Pottery Barn chair is a softer, prettier shade of yellow. It’s not the dark, golden color from Overstock. The print on the Overstock chair is more poppy than the other. However, the Overstock chair is over $400.00 cheaper.

If you like comparing products then you will enjoy Copy Cat Chic. Reichel B. with Copy Cat Chic compares great products.
