Another Etsy purchase. It’s gorgeous!

I have started bookmarking all the things I like over at Pinterest more so now than this blog, so check it out!

I was checking out Reichel B’s Copy Cat Chic blog for interior design ideas when I came across the post about her nursery… it’s peacock themed and I LOVE IT.

It seems to have been inspired by this lovely lamp -

Anthropologie Plumage Shade – $108-148

The colors look much better in the nusery photos over at copycatchic.com

and the rest of the nursery is just gorgeous…

See all the photos over at copycatchic.com OR check out this site – which is all about peacocks!

Strangely, my second post in a row referring to French design…

Re-nest just posted an excellent Best of Etsy 2011 list. Cooped up at home on this foggy NY morning, I managed to find a beautiful Flamingo print from unitedthread - a very talented painter from Salem who I think I’ll be buying more from in the future. I think this is just the thing to brighten up our (soon to be) new guest room/nursery that doesn’t get any natural light. Can’t wait for it to arrive!

I swear, if I weren’t on a purchasing hiatus (can’t buy anything until NYC now – blimey!) I’d be right into this KARE light. In fact, it would probably look wonderful in my fantasy manhattan apartment, which will exist only in my head until Feburary when we actually move there and I can make it reality!

KARE come from the attractive German town of München, which kind of makes sense. Get in now before the sale ends on 8 January. The pretty little number below is just £79. Bargain!

How wonderfully gorgeous is ths dab pendant light, spotted on /decojournal? It’s so pretty I don’t dare to find out how much it costs. My guess is four digits, not including decimal points?

I’ve been on an online search for pendant lights, inspired by the lighting choice of my dear friend Katie over on her these are my obsessions blog, who is keen on this Sylvain Willenz torch light below.

The torch pendant light above is on sale for £972.72 over on the SCP website.

And then there are these ones over at the ACHICA sale website (you’ll need to signup) for a sweet £130.
