Etsy Love: Whimsical Stained Glass Feathers

Stained Glass FeathersIt’s time to be honest about something: I fully blame Facebook for my heightened Etsy addiction of late. I’ll be mindlessly scrolling through my feed and — BAM — I start seeing ads for pretty trinkets and baubles. One right after the other, so I must click on each one, naturally — I mean, wouldn’t you?? For example, take a gander at all the stained glass feathers and all their home decor possibilities from The Sweet Karma Bar…

Aren’t these items pretty?? I’d love to hang them in a place where they’d stream a lot of light and give the room a soft glow, especially at dusk during these tranquil summer nights!

Do you have a favorite stained glass beauty, friends?? Are you a fan of the home decor look in general? xoxo

Etsy Love: Floral Wallpaper For Spring

floral wallpaperMy mom has swiftly and not-so-subtly thrown down the ban hammer to my plans of redecorating. She’s firmly anti-wallpaper, as she says it’s a horribly dated leftover from the ’60s and ’70s. In fact, she’s crushed my dreams on numerous occasions, which might be exactly why I’m completely wide-eyed for this floral wallpaper…

The Etsy shop Betapet offers self-adhesive, removable options, so maybe this could be the perfect compromise for us? I could get my pretty flowers to brighten up my room and my mom wouldn’t be subjected to a huge mess.
