That is amazingly awesome. Also, I have been following your blog from my phone and I hate typing comments on there so this is way late but Congrats on your little miracle and you are a stunningly beautiful pregnant lady! Can’t wait to see pictures of your little man! I just had a little boy and they are the best!

LOVE IT! I am a big fan of going all out with color instead of playing it safe with neutrals, so this rocks my socks.

That wallpaper is awesome. So lovely! I love maps. I love purchasing old maps from thrift or antique stores! I had a professor in college who had a map the size of his wall that was textured and so, so beautiful! I have a goal to find one for myself someday!

I love it! So much! I think orange has got to be one of my favorite colors. Is there fabric with this pattern on it? So perfect.

the paper is gorgeous! and the funny thing i’ve realized is that all though there are some of us “blogger-types” that see this stuff all.the.time. and worry that it’s over done, the vast majority of people who visit my house say of my sunburst mirror, “What a unique mirror! I love it!”

*um i totally meant although. i’m sorry, i’m blaming it on the kids pulling at me for waffles.

I love it! Amazing! What a fun way to say hello!
Also just a side note…I don’t know if this is just happening for me or not but the right column of your blog is overlapping with the left hand column of your blog. I can send you a screenshot if you need. Not sure why it’s doing that.
Have a great weekend Melanie!

You gotta pick what you love, not what is the least trendy.
The color looks really lovely with the blue walls especially.

I’m a chronic lurker but have to pop out to say we LOVE maps. We have collected antique maps at every international travel destination and have been looking at inspiration for where and how to hang them. So thank you!

Oh I adore this! Just perfect. I also love the phrase “so blogger of me.” I felt that way last night when I painted my nails gray with neon tips. I was like, I totally just did that so I could put it on my blog, didn’t I? Ah well!

Just realized how far behind I was with your blog – this looks amazing!!! Great choice. What color is your paint? It’s hard to tell – maybe pale turquoise-ish?

a patterned welcome is my fave
March 16, 2012
Home update! This is the colorful welcome you’ll get when you walk through the front door of home a la Blodgett. I was going to go with a black and white geometric but in kind of a spur of the moment decision, I told color to bring it with this Orla Kiely pattern. It’s funny when I make a decision for our house I seem to always ask myself, “Is this way too blogger of me?” and what it came down to is yes, this is so blogger of me but I love it. I’ll be a stereotype for something I love.
Some more posts I wrote this week that you’re sure to like:
Stamping is cool again (I was in disbelief too)
Awesome maps for your walls and inspiration of where and how to hang them (my fave round-ups possibly ever)
Kid’s party favors
Celebrate color (I need the yellow polka dot wallet)
Best of the week!
I’m also teaching two Alt online classes this weekend, a content class tonight (this one is a lot of fun) and a bringing home the bacon class tomorrow. Won’t you join me? Register here.
Have a good one.
