Mail

I got this cute canvas and leather mail bucket at Pottery Barn this weekend.  I have the PB credit card so I got it for FREE with rewards from that!!  I'm going to put it in the office and actually use it for mail. 

Now, if I can just get that photo caddy from my previous post, the office will be perfect!

Wish List-The Biggest Wish of All Wishes

I want this floor-standing photo caddy from Pottery Barn SO bad but it's been sold out for months.  I was told by a girl at catalog in June to check in August but it's still sold out.  And I've checked every single day.  I have a very specific place and use in mind for this in the office and can't imagine anything else working.  I found something similar in an antique store once, but truthfully, it didn't really compare to this one.

West Elm Part 2

I went ahead and ordered the bedding from West Elm and already received the duvet.  The shams are on back order.

It's probably not as dark gray as it looks in this picture but I think it will go well with the bed I want from Pottery Barn.

I want this in Metal Gray Washed Linen Cotton which is just a couple shades darker than the bedding.  I think with white sheets, a white coverlet, and maybe some linen thrown in (for color!!) that it will be just the look I want.   Although, the dark legs might be a problem.

West Elm

My fabulous friends, Dawn and Karey, gave me a Pottery Barn gift card for my birthday and I used it today at West Elm online.  I wouldn't call myself a fan of West Elm because my style is much more traditional than contemporary and modern.  BUT I found several things I really wanted over the weekend and I'm not really one to let a gift card get too attached to my wallet, so it was perfect timing!

I have been complaining that Pottery Barn hasn't gotten on board with gray yet (It's THE color this year) so I was excited to see all the gray items at West Elm!  I wish I didn't have to pay shipping, but whatever...it was all free because I had a gift card.

I liked these towels for the master bath.  I think the tasseled fringe will take some getting used to but I love the stripes.  

If I had thought there was any way I could get away with it, I would have ordered two of this rug in each size.  That's how much I love it!!  But I thought that might lead to the house at Coppercreek being referred to as the house with the gray striped rugs.  And that would be a decorating failure.

I HAD to have these rugs for the master bath! I love the chevron pattern and the color!!

I found some bedding I really wanted also and since the striped rug is on back order until November 22, I probably need to go ahead and order the bedding before it's too late.

Thank you so much, Karey and Dawn!  You guys are wonderful friends and I can't wait for you to see your gift in place when you come stay for weeks at a time with us at Coppercreek!!!!

Yes, I said weeks at a time.

Wish List-Random

We found the drafting table above at I.O. Metro and decided we needed it for the study.  It wasn't all that much cheaper than the one at Restoration Hardware, but it's local so there would be no shipping.  I don't go to I.O. Metro very often and it's a little out of the way (okay, not really), but I may have to make a special effort so I can keep my eye on this.

Worse case,  I could get the one at Restoration Hardware.  (Worse case.  Yeah right!)

And I love the stool they have with it.

We liked the floors at I.O. Metro for the basement.  This picture makes them seem a little darker than they really are.

I love the color of the green cabinets (not the style) and want that color for our office cabinets.  I think I want bronze hardware instead of the silver they have.  These are in the Kitchen and Bath Ideas inside Metro Builders Supply.

I want the chair above in linen to go in the office with the green cabinets.  It's the Calais at Pottery Barn and I love it!  It's surprisingly comfy!  I love the color of the legs on the linen covered one.

Safety Pins

I have admired the Safety Pin plaques at Ballard Designs for quite some time and finally decided to order them for the laundry room.  I should have read the dimensions (and maybe I did but it never registered) because I didn't expect them to be so gigantic.  I thought about sending them back but I think I'm just going to keep them.  I might end up liking the size and they were really inexpensive.  Heather ordered a set for Hadley's nursery too and loved them.
