I love the chalkboard paint. I cannot wait to use that in my future house ...the desk, chair, omg all of it is so great.

Where to begin?... First, yes, Mom Bee is awesome. And theeeeennnn....<BR/><BR/>Jackie: You are too nice! I'd have to say it's my obsession with Domino, maybe? But, really, I'm just indecisive. Clothes I can do, but furniture is another story!<BR/><BR/>Vana/Mary/Jessie: Go for it. Love it!<BR/><BR/>Jae: That is a great idea. Maybe it's time I get a little crafty? Or just find a good seamstress? <BR/><BR/>Liza/Anon: Thank you SO much for the warning!! That is such a good point. And I love your idea of getting "shag-like" carpet instead, Anon. <BR/><BR/>Em: Leave it to you to think of that perfect finishing touch:) LOVE the mirrors idea.<BR/><BR/>Suzanne: I was thinking of a map from Kate's, actually! They are awesome and very cheap:)<BR/><BR/>Moni-Love: I can't wait for our Calico Corners trip, too! And speaking of longest comments EVA, I'm signing off now.<BR/><BR/>Everyone...thank you so, so much!!! I will keep you all posted;) xo, Bee.The Lil Beehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12271310136010979584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656426566021916969.post-92121371373906759032009-01-13T20:34:00.000-05:002009-01-13T20:34:00.000-05:00I can&#39;t wait to see the finished result!

They print reproductions of vintage maps on Italian paper and they are awesome for the price--super reasonable. They look great framed. I think Kate's Paperie in NY sells them or you can find them online. Bright, colorful pillows would be great...what about pulling in a little aqua pop and to tie in with the maps? I think it will look grat with the brown and navy in the adjoining room.<BR/><BR/>and yes, your parents are awesome!<BR/><BR/>It looks so great and I love your ideas.Suzanne : : S.HOPtalkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04193326681679699850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656426566021916969.post-48545147351578128652009-01-13T19:59:00.000-05:002009-01-13T19:59:00.000-05:00Simply love it.You are my fave...http://www.blogger.com/profile/16741231287531873125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656426566021916969.post-24491904057978017122009-01-13T19:54:00.000-05:002009-01-13T19:54:00.000-05:00i love it all, and cannot wait to see the room with all the pieces within! and yes, mom bee rocks, you are one lucky lil bee!painted fish studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01888396609676707356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656426566021916969.post-5397519332910067622009-01-13T19:01:00.000-05:002009-01-13T19:01:00.000-05:00things are coming together so well! I love your ideas. The desk is lovely...I've admired it for a while in the West Elm catalouge. <BR/><BR/>The rug is divine. Lock it up! Jensen Lewis in the city sells great rugs and very reasonably priced. But I have to say...West Elm has grat rugs and I've bought a few of them myself. :)<BR/><BR/>As for the pillows I love the idea of giving a bit of color and your choices, which I've seen in Domino, are BEE-u-tiful. ;-) Also, when we go to Calico Corners (can't wait! just waiting anxiously for my new couch so I can bring a pillow with me) I'm planning on choosing fabric for accent pillows. I found a seamstress in my neighborhood who promised me a good price to make me pillow covers and to re-do another cushion (maybe it has sthg to do with the 10, yes 10, pairs of boots her genius husband fixed for me last month)...so, perhaps you can choose your own fabric for your existing pillows rather than buy them. <BR/><BR/>This is the LONGEST comment evah.Chessa!http://www.blogger.com/profile/14619953390847121652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656426566021916969.post-15398231188837525842009-01-13T18:28:00.000-05:002009-01-13T18:28:00.000-05:00Love love love!

Also a used Shag....NO GRACIAS...if it came from a smelly home there is no way you will get it clean. Also if there is a puppy accident...yuck.<BR/><BR/>If you want the look, go to a carpet store and look for a remnant, or a store that will cut an 8x10..A Lot of people are putting "shag like" carpeting in bedrooms these days...get an extra thick (like 1.5") pad for underneath and voila!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656426566021916969.post-25899124925424494252009-01-13T16:14:00.000-05:002009-01-13T16:14:00.000-05:00I love it all! BUT, watch out for the rug. I bet I know why that rug is on e-bay - we had one exactly like it, from crate and barrel or pottery barn I think, that we actually gave to the thrift store ... OMG I GAVE AWAY such a gorgeous rug??? YES!!! It shed like you wouldn't believe...like you have sheep living all over your house! I was SO disappointed, but it was seriously a LOT of shedding. I hope this helps - if it didn't shed, I would buy it again in a second, and every other thing you've chosen!lizahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05577364144810521478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656426566021916969.post-70090224578519982652009-01-13T16:06:00.000-05:002009-01-13T16:06:00.000-05:00Love it!!
