Bathroom Progress

During my blogging break I went ahead and wallpapered my small bathroom. It was basically a white (actually more like builders beige) box and I decided that since it was small I wanted to do something fun with it. My debate was fun (with colour) vs. simple/hotel like...I went for fun. And since it was a small space I only needed one roll of wall paper which cost $36 (which isn't expensive but isn't the cheapest out there).

Before:

After (I literally had to stand in my tub to take these!):

Fun right? I know. But as much as I like it I'm now thinking of painting it. It's just not quite working for me and I don't know what exactly it is that's not working. I don't think it's the wallpaper per say - but more or less the whole thing together (oh, this is the curtain I have up-a see throughish white one-...not the colourful one). It just kinda feels not quite finished...which is funny because it's really not finished and I know that. I need a new bath mat, and some kinda art/photograph on the wall....and I have to buy proper hand towels. I find myself reconsidering my original inspiration board for the bathroom:

So, now I'm thinking of painting it either a light gray, white white, or black.

What do you think? Leave it, get the finishing touches, and make it work. Or go with my original inspiration board?

This Wing Chair Is Calling My Name...

I spotted this pair of wing chairs and am debating buying one.

I know what you may be thinking, "Seriously, wing chairs Kay - aren't wing chairs a bit...I dunno...stuffy, grandpa, old-ish?" But I think they have potential. I love the shape...the curves (espeically the ones right near the 'elbow' joint). I also like that the arms aren't big & bulky. I'd spray the legs a high gloss white and recover it in a fun print...or maybe a nice neutral. I think it could be a lovely addition to Apartment #412. When I spotted the chair I immediately thought of this chair:

as seen on the blog m.a. belle 

a view of the whole chair

How CUTE and CHIC is that?! Not stuffy, grandpa, or old-ish at all!

The chair I currently have in my living room is a hand-me-down leather club chair from my sister. It's in perfect condition and I do like it but I've always thought, I even said it on my old blog, that it's a bit too....square for the space. I feel like I need to add something more feminine or curvy to break up all the straight edges currently going on. Something a bit lighter. It makes that corner a black hole - hence the pink throw and turquoise felt petal pillow to lighten it up.

Anywho, back to the wing chair. What do you think - yay or nay?
