My Basement Do Over

Hi All, Happy Wednesday! I was perusing Urban Outfitters website for some clothes for my teenage daughter when I ran into their furniture. Wow! It is inexpensive yet very stylish...and being the wish monger that I am, I put together a wish list of furniture pieces I would love to have in my basement.
My basement is a dark hole that I try never to venture into if I don't have to. I haven't bought new furniture down there since 1999..wow that sounds like ages ago.
So here is my wish list for Urban Outfitters Basement Re-Do. I know what you're thinking she's a little retro with industrial thrown in..I like an eclectic look. And since I love love books--they always (according to me) have to be in a room or it just doesn't feel right. What do you think of my new basement look? Yay or Nay?

Hydrangeas are fab!!

Well, its been over a year since my last post. My Tolix chairs are still wonderful in their naked state. So much better than the Tiffany Blue...I guess I can only handle color for so long, then I need to revert back to no color things.
I took a photo of my gorgeous hydrangeas in my backyard. I am drying them and have them all over my house...this color I can live with and have lived with for years. They're a purpley-blue color that I just love and never tire of..only in small doses though. Are you look like that? Or is it just me? Can you handle a lot of color in your home all the time?
