I'm a total sucker for the red/aqua combo, too. We have a KleinReid vase (a wedding gift from my sister) in that very shade of blue, and it looks amazing on top of a red vintage cart that we picked up in New York years ago. I love the way you describe your approach vs. Andy's when it comes to shopping!sulu-designhttp://www.sulu-design.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220537091716156980.post-90254036304062811332009-09-16T15:30:00.698-04:002009-09-16T15:30:00.698-04:00Bethany--I think we totally were!

When my mom brought home wallpaper sample books I always lobbied for the silver or gold foil ones with velvet flocking. <br /><br />And I don't know what the faux "faux" painting is, either!Karen/Small Earth Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077078663239991329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220537091716156980.post-44483550183225807342009-09-15T23:44:59.447-04:002009-09-15T23:44:59.447-04:00Ok so somehow you have inspired two bathroom stori...Ok so somehow you have inspired two bathroom stories from the past in a row out of me. First the green shag carpet and mushrooms and now the bat cave. The BAT CAVE! <br /><br />My Mom hired a women she knew to "faux" paint the guest bath in their house. I have never understood the term faux painting because HEY! You are PAINTING it... right? SO where is the faux part comin'in? Anyway... my Mom leaves this woman to her painterly work and goes to her office for the day. She comes home that night to find a black, brown, purple and green swirled wallscape complete with splashes of metallic gold paint in her bathroom. It was straight up nuts to look upon I tell ya. We laughed ourselves sick. The best part is my Mom ended up leaving it that way for years. It was such fun to see what sort of reaction newcomers had to the bat cave. The best was our friend David who is an old school gay guy (an interior decorator)in his 60's. He literally started howling like a deranged wolf the first time he went in that bathroom. And every time after that I think too. <br /><br />So yeah! Paint your bathroom crazy! Why not? It's dumb fun.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18272221827624550574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220537091716156980.post-287633004187718842009-09-15T22:10:11.122-04:002009-09-15T22:10:11.122-04:00Hi, Ms. B!
