Just a few things I have on my wish list from West Elm that I wanted to share...

16" Mongolian Lamb Pillow in Stone White

Faux Fur Throw in Platinum

Perfect for the chilly months ahead ;)

Mercury Votive Holders

Cast Metal Jewelry Tree

My bedroom is currently black, white and silver, but sometimes, I find myself wishing I could fall asleep in a beautiful golden boudoir...

I love the mix of soft lilac with gold...

Gold is warm and glamourous...

Even when used sparingly, gold instantly warms up a room...

Mix gold with mirrored furnishings and crystal accents for an ultra-glam effect...

I think I'd even prefer my cutlery to be gold!

It's all in the details...

So, what do you think of gold? :)

I decided to stop by one of my favorite stores for interior decorating today, Hobby Lobby. I went in only intending to purchase a black crown wall art piece I'd had my eye on for a while, but somehow ended up with a few more items in my shopping basket. It's funny how that happens. ;)

Here is a photo of the piece that drew me into the store:

I plan on hanging it above my damask memo board when I move to my new apartment.

And my other purchases:

I must be on a crown kick, huh? ;) This was just too cute to pass up though. The black strip of fabric behind the frames is made out of crushed velvet. :) I plan on inserting black-and-white photos of my animals (i.e., of Edmund, Julian and Hamlet) into the frames.

Not crown-related, but I ran across this crystal lotus flower candleholder and thought it was so, so lovely:

*sigh* It looks even better on my black bookshelf. :)

On the way home, I stopped by Walgreen's for a new mascara:

Has anyone tried this one? I think the silver wings on the tube are adorable. :)

Also, here are a few fairly recent purchases I've made for my bedroom if any of you are interested:

I used to have a black chandelier wall decal above my bed, but I liked this ornate black mirror better for the space. (The mirror, in case you are wondering, is from Home Goods.) I do plan on purchasing another chandelier wall decal, however, and putting it on a different wall in my new apartment. It was super cute, just too small for the area above my bed. :)

I found this at Bed, Bath & Beyond for a really good price. Sure, the whole "Keep calm and carry on" message may be a tad overdone, but I, personally, still love it and think it looks really good in my room. :)

I moved this frame to another wall (above my bookshelf) and added the letters from Hobby Lobby. (I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep those silver pieces of paper in there or replace them with more black-and-white photos...)

These pieces are also from Hobby Lobby. They're on the wall the picture frame with the letters was initially on.

So, what do you think of the newest additions to my room? ;)
