Randoms

Since its been awhile...here are a few inspiration pics I've been saving...


From now on all the snail mail I send will be addressed like this.


Love the gray and green color combo.  May have to get some of those storage bins to fill with Sadie toys.


Want to attempt to do something like this to an old chair I have but I'm sure it will be very difficult to make something look this distressed...we'll see.

Hair Inspiration


Two side brades are even better than one!


Side twist into a braid.

I saw another take on this somewhere...it was a loose/messy topsy tail (remember those) that went into a braid it and was really cute!

Murple Flowers


Loving bouquets of all the same flowers in maroon/purple aka murple.  Moody, interesting, unique and beautiful, don't you think?

Swoop There It Is.


I really want to master this swoopy barette look.  It is much harder than you'd think it would be.

Boll Weevil Decor

Alex has long talked about opening a brewery called Boll Weevil.  I've reminded him on several occasions that he might want to consider actually learning how to brew, but that is beside the point.  The point is that, when the time comes I'll already have saved all kinds of ideas on how to decorate so that part will be easy peasy.  I'm thinking a southern/industrial chic look is going to be just perf.  Here are some ways we can incorporate cotton into the brewery...I might even have to steal a few of these for my home while I wait on Alex's brewing skills to improve!



Cotton displayed in galvanized steel buckets (not sure about the chalkboard label though...pretty sure Alex will reject that part after my failed attempt to turn an old platter into a chalk board).


Cotton in mason jars...minus the candles, those make it look way too weddingy.  Come to think of it, beer will prob be served in mason jars, not pint glasses.


Cotton wreath.  Love.


Cotton in big jars on trays...I'm thinking bottles of all the Boll Weevil brews could be displayed on these trays too.


Cotton boutoniere...not for the brewery but just to prove to you unbelievers out there that it can be done in a classy way.
