I think I am going to buy these animal decals for the baby's room and maybe this area rug (in White/Persimmon), oh and I really like this pendant lamp (in Hummingbird Tangerine). I'm still trying to decide on a color scheme for the nursery, but I'm very fond of a combination of shades of sea blue/lime green/orange. Sounds kind of strange, but I'll post a picture I'm using for inspiration in a future blog entry. These chair back decals are pretty cool, also; I think I'm going to try to make a similar design for chair seats of some mismatched wooden chairs I have. And I'm digging this octopus shower curtain. I could do some damage at this place.
Do you have a fur coat/hat/stole you don't want anymore? Consider donating it to the Humane Society to be used by wildlife rehabilitators to warm and comfort orphaned and injured wildlife. They add pieces of the fur to the animal's enclosure; having fur to snuggle in reduces stress and aids in recovery. You can request a return letter, which can be used for a tax deduction (hey, every little bit helps).
