West Elm Wednesday ~ Kantha Line

OH MY OH MY OH MY do I have news for you. West Elm is opening a store in the SLC area at our new City Creek Center! Holla… my husband is so excited I cant wait :) Don’t you fret though I will still gladly share my West Elm faves with you every Wednesday (almost every Wednesday, at least on the weeks that I don’t forget!).

I LOVE almost every single pillow from West Elm but I’ve really been crushing on their Kantha line. I love that each pillow is unique! This is what West Elm has to say about the Kantha pillow, “Pieced and patched. Hand embellished with strips of Kantha fabric. Because every pillow cover is composed of recycled materials, each is subtly one of a kind.”

I love them all!

Kantha Chevron Pillow Cover

Kantha Quilted Pillow Cover

Kantha Jaipur Stripe Pillow Cover

All of these beautiful pillows are 20″ and range from $29 – $34. West Elm use to have a Kantha throw that was awesome! I’ve spotted a few of the throws at my local DownEast Outfitters for an awesome price.

Paint etc.

Nope, I haven’t disappeared again! Things around here are just busy as usual. I’m currently trying to find the perfect paint color for my bedroom and also working on my headboard. First things first…. I made a little trip to Sherwin Williams the other day to look at a few gray paint samples. While I was there I FINALLY got my very own paint chip book! This will make my life soooo much easier! I think the guy at Sherwin Williams was sick of me coming in, grabbing a few paint cards, leaving, and then repeating this three days in a row. Ha.

 I thought I found the “right paint color” for my bedroom but I can’t live with it! The lighting in my bedroom does crazy weird things to my paint colors. For some reason the shade of “white” that I choose is pulling a crazy bright yellow and it’s to dang bright for me!  Here is what I’ve been doing the past week…. starring at paint samples!

Gray can be hard to get right because it pulls blue and purple shades in certain lights. I love all of these colors but the darker ones are too dark for my room and the lighter ones are pulling that blue or purple. You don’t get any of that from this picture but it’s true, promise ;)

I’ve probably spent at least $30 in paint samples… sigh. I gotta get it right this time! After putting a few of the grays next to my wall I decided that they clash really bad. No worries though I think it’s safe to say that I’ve found the right color this time. It’s SW 6035 Gauzy White. It’s the perfect mauvy, whitish, pink lol I know… none of those colors are really the same but depending on the time of day it pulls one of those three colors in my room! It’s lovely :)

 Here is a sneak peak of my headboard. Things didn’t go quite as planned when I started tufting it. I’ve made a compromise but it’s one that I can’t wait to share with you! This headboard is going to ROCK after I’m done tufting all 73 holes. CAN’T WAIT!

West Elm Wednesday {Rugs}

Today I’ve got my eye on West Elm’s awesome rug selection! They have a wide variety of colors, styles, and sizes. I wouldn’t mine owning a few!

If your looking for color and pattern the Zigzag Rug is lovely.

I’m a sucker for a good navy blue and white rug and the Kite Kilim Rug would look awesome in my living room!

I love this Lourdes Sanchez Bull’s-Eye Rug. I would put it in a colorful library/office, playroom, or little kids room!

You can’t go wrong with the Gradiated-Stripe Cotton Rug. That orange one holds my heart.

If your looking for a more neutral rug the Jute Chenille Herringbone and the Oasis Flatweave Rug are great choices!

I would love one of each!

West Elm Wednesday

I have a confession….. I’m really obsessed with West Elm. If I could afford it my entire house would be furnished and decorated with West Elm products! This is easily my favorite site to “window shop” on. I get sucked in for hours I tell ya! To appease my little obsession, every Wednesday I’m going to share a few West Elm items with you that I LOVE. So lets get started already….

Right now I’ve really got my eye on their dishware. My dishes at home are cracked and outdated and frankly just not as pretty to look at. If I could choose some new dishes I would have a hard time choosing between all these

I also love these cute bowls

and these mugs

I could always use new kitchen linens and these would definitely put me in the mood to bake up some yummy treats!

I think this is a great way for me to “vent” my West Elm obsession! I hope you enjoy :)

P.S. to all of my loved ones reading…. a West Elm gift card is always accepted with great appreciation ha ha joking… but not really!
