Crazy for Copper | Inspiration + Items




Copper is my favorite metallic. Yes, I even like it better than rose gold. Copper is warm and flattering. It's versatile - it can be rustic and industrial, burnished and antiqued, crisp and contemporary. It has a gleam that can work in your wardrobe, decor scheme, or beauty routine. Above, I rounded up a wishlist of some of my favorite copper items - from a shiny copper Moscow mule and cute 2-cents notebook to a copper-hued watch and rosy lipstick with just a tinge of penny. Below, I'm sharing some of my favorite copper inspiration for bringing more copper into my decor.


This bed reeeeally makes me want to spray paint my red headboard copper.
I'm trying to restrain myself, but it's probably going to happen eventually.


A big copper tub to soak in?! Yesss!
It reminds me of copper tubs from period movies.


These circle sequins are an easy, simple way to bring in a little copper sparkle.
I love how the copper compliments the pale pink and makes the hot pink pop!


What a lovely rustic, cottagey kitchen - and what a view!
The copper sink adds just the right amount of gleam.


Oh, how lovely this space is - from the antique floor to the pretty tile textures.
But most of all, I'm swooning over that copper accent wall. 


What's your favorite metallic? Silver, copper, gold, rose gold?

DIY Cat Barrier for Under $100 (See-Through, Climb-Proof, and Too-Tall-To-Jump)

ICYMI: I gave up Cotton after deciding that after trying so many things, my two adopted cats Dahlia and Cotton were just never going to get along. Long story short: I missed her. And Cotton's back. And Dahlia's not going anywhere. My heart is big enough to keep trying. And my apartment is big enough that if I need to keep them separated long term (or permanently), it can be done.
I'm going to write-up a separate post about some of the solutions I've tried, how they worked, who they worked on, and what I'll be trying next. But in this post, I wanted to share the main 'piece de resistance' of having both cats in my apartment: an un-climbable, un-jumpable, see-through barrier to separate Cotton and Dahlia.

Penny's Apartment | Big Bang Theory

Aniela, a lovely reader from Germany, sent me an email requesting advice on recreating the style of Penny's apartment on Big Bang Theory. 

Blair's Room | Gossip Girl Decor

Manhattan's debutante Blair Waldorf happens to be my favorite Gossip Girl character.  Her behavior and feelings vary from snobbish to sensitive, but she always (except for a few rare occasions) looks and acts totally pulled together.  Her luxurious bedroom is fit for a queen---and is as pulled together as her preppy fashion ensembles.
