DON’T TREAD ON ME

My fear of snakes isn’t quite as intense as my mom’s, (mostly due to a childhood prank by her mischievous older brother involving a dead garden snake and a door handle–Uncle Bob, you were a demon!), but I can promise that you won’t find me with a python around my neck a la Britney anytime soon.  I’ may never have the real thing in my home, but here are a few stylishly slithering pieces I wouldn’t mind welcoming in. 
What do you think? Will it take a snake charmer for you to get in on the trend?

Bathrooms often get the least attention when decorating a new space. I’ve almost completely ignored our new bathroom because it’s tragically the one room in the house we can’t paint or paper. Understandably, people focus their efforts on spaces they’ll be spending the most time in, i.e the living room, bedroom, dining room and kitchen. However, I’m of the mind that precisely because you’re not likely to spend too much time in your bathroom it presents a great opportunity to incorporate design that might overwhelm in a larger more frequented space. The images above are some of my favorite inspiration photos for bathrooms. I suppose now I should practice what I preach and start thinking of a creative way to give my own bathroom some much needed attention!
