UO's newest collection

I was immediately drawn into the 80's modern feel of Urban Outfitters new collection. Here are a few of my favorite pieces...  

Urban Outfitters Wally flush mount s curve 80s modern geometric ceiling light with milk glass globe bubls urban Outfitters Wally Sconce cream curved holder with milk glass globe bulb

Urban Outfitters Ruby Striped Chair linen mint green and tan 80s modern

Urban Outfitters Congruent Bookshelf modern geometric natural wood

Urban Outfitters Sanna Floor Lamp with natural wood curved base and pleated shade

The lighting is the most apt to be added to the home decor. I have an electrician coming to install new fixtures both to update the old and add some brightness to some of the rooms in my home that are lacking. I could see the S curved flush mounted ceiling light in my kitchen. And, the neutral curved sconces in my bedroom. I do get a little hesitant to order lighting from anywhere that doesn't have free return shipping, though, as lighting can be tricky to get just right. But, at least I've got some inspiration to start from!

UNDERSTATED, BUT SPECIAL, MIGHT BE MORE ACCURATE. 

The home of Bec Dowie, one half of furniture and lighting design company Douglas and Bec, a collaboration between Bec (a designer with a fine arts background) and her father Douglas (a furniture designer) is almost entirely furnished by their wares.

PAINT REVEAL

 FINALLY THE LONG-AWAITED BEFORE AND AFTERS!

  Custom curtains and wallpaper were removed and the walls got a fresh coat of white paint! It sounds like such an easy process. However, the drapery hardware and wall of mirrors left huge holes from the wall anchors. Wallpapered walls turned into *many* layers of wallpapered walls. And, prior paint colors had left drips down the walls, up onto the ceiling, and even over wallpaper. All required multiple days of sanding and prep.

The paint color choice was a whole other piece of the puzzle - see how I landed on the perfect shade of white here
