Bingo Round 2
It's time for more Bingo!
Door:
I love the thought of painting an interior door. Either to match the room/hallway outside or the room inside, I think this could be really stunning. I also love the little peek of red/orange on the side of the door.
Complementary Color:
I love the statement the bright red-pink wall makes against the green bedding.
Outdoor Seating:
All I can say to this is "yes please!" - to having that amount of space for a giant swing, and, hello, for the GIANT SWING!
Space for a Little One:
I absolutely adore this alphabet for a wall in a nursery.
Chandelier:
I love the long, clean lines and that the lights are styled to look like candles.
Here's my updated bingo board!

BINGO! Round 1
During the October Photo Challenge, Ali, from His Birdie's Nest, came up with the idea to do an Interior Design Bingo. It would work sort of like the photo challenge in that the goal would be to post photos of 30 different things, each with a theme, but would be much more flexible because themes would not be assigned to specific days. Clearly, since it's the 22nd day of a 30-day month, this is an important feature of this challenge for me :)
So, let's get started! (Side note: These pictures are all from Pinterest, but I do plan on taking and posting pictures of my home for some of the squares on the board!)
Wallpaper:
When I think of wallpaper, I think of the awful late-80s early-90s stuff that was on the walls of my grandparents' house for years.Well...This ain't my grandmother's wallpaper!
Storage:
I feel like storage is a universal need. Well, ok, maybe if I lived in the BiltmoreI wouldn't need more storage. But seriously, do you actually know anyone in real life who hasn't said "I wish I had more storage!"??
(I would absolutely need a step stool or ladder to use either of these storage options...)
Bathroom:
All I'll ever want in a bathroom is an enormous bathtub. And a fireplace.
In more realistic terms, I think neutrals are a home-run in a bathroom space.
Ceiling:
I love that ceilings can be unexpectedly elegant.
Art Deco:
Please correct me if I'm way off on this one. Pinterest was my friend when searching for and trying to define "art deco." I was looking for symmetry a retro feel.
So, here's where I am on Bingo!

To finish one challenge...
In an effort to start (over half a month late!) another.
I managed to take all of the photos in October, so I'll count that as a victory :)
Next week I'll try to actually get started on Interior Design Bingo, hosted by Ali from His Birdie's Nest!

It's beginning to look a lot like...
Black Friday!
If you've ever wondered what the inside of a newspaper facility looks like 10 days before Black Friday (and 9 days before all those ads appear), here you go:
And trust me, by this time next week, there will be very little floor space in this enormous room.
Do you shop insanely early (or late, as the case may be!) on Black Friday?

The Most Wonderful Time of The Year
Halloween has come and gone, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and if you're planning on sending out Christmas cards, it's time to start thinking about it! This year, like last year, Shutterfly is hoping to make the Christmas card process easier on us!
Photo cards are my favorites, and here are a few of Shutterfly's designs that I just love:
Shutterfly's site is really user-friendly, and you have the ability to personalize your cards however you'd like! My mother-in-law ordered her cards from Shutterfly last year, and they turned out really beautifully.
I think sending real, paper Christmas Cards is one of the best parts of the season. I love it when cards from friends and family members start showing up in my mailbox. And Shutterfly makes the process so easy, even if you're crazy busy like we are, you have time to send out beautiful cards to commemorate the year.
So, excuses are now out the window, head over to Shutterfly.com to get started on your 2011 Christmas cards!
{I received a code for 25 free cards from Shutterfly in exchange for this post. The opinions expressed are my own. Are you a blogger? Want free cards, too? Sign up here through November 11th!}
