Off Boulevard

World Market is slowly reaching Target status – you can’t get out without spending at least $100.  It got me again today and I added about a hundred things to my wish list.  I’m that weirdo that walks around the store taking pictures of things that I like so I can remember later on, here’s what I captured today -

I was loving the chairs at World Market today.  This guy would be great for the office (currently in progress), especially with the cushion.

I loved the print on this one, and it’s just the right size for our tiny living room.

And this was seriously one of the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat on.

They had a ton of great prints on the outdoor cushions, umbrellas, and rugs, but I loved this pouf.

And my longstanding obsession is with World Market shower curtains.  I’ve been looking all over for curtains for Juice’s big girl room and the prints on half of the shower curtains were perfect.  They need to sell fabric.

But in the end, I left with a couple new lovelies that I hope to share in the next couple weeks.

In my recent search for the perfect wallpaper, I can across this guy -

Yum.  And when I was looking for shelves for Juice’s big girl room, I found these shelf brackets -

Like.  And these hooks are in the running for our laundry room -

Hmm…I think I have a crush on all things twig.

Lately I’ve been loving all things geometric.  It goes against almost everything in our house, but I’m working  hard to sneak it in somewhere.  Check out these lovelies -

Last weekend we made our annual pilgrimage to IKEA.  Once a year is about all Brian can take, so it’s a big deal when we get to go.  It’s the Superbowl of my shopping.  Unfortunately, it seems the entire state of Virginia decided last Sunday was their Superbowl as well and IKEA was a massive cluster of people (IKEA + a 1 year old + holiday weekend = complete meltdown).  The good news is that IKEA had some great stuff and our car was loaded at the end of the trip.  The bad news is that IKEA had some great stuff and we couldn’t fit more in our car (or have more money in our bank account).  There was just too much good stuff and not everything made the cut.  Sometimes the decision to make a cut wasn’t our call as some of our favs were out of stock.  We missed out on this spice rack that I was hoping to use as a book shelf in Juice’s room, like I’ve seen all over Pinterest.

And this wicker stool that I was hoping to use on our side porch -

Then there were the items that I loved but we passed up.  There were a TON of great chairs, which was perfect because I’m still looking for a chair for the new office.  These two caught my eye, but I just couldn’t pull the trigger on either of them -

Buying storage is usually a staple for us at IKEA, but for once we weren’t in the market for any furniture.  I still had my eye on this guy, which would be perfect for a little boys nursery some day (or girls, they had it in white too)-

I also love this linen cabinet, but we just don’t have a good place to put it at our house -

Another part of the store I found myself oohing and ahhing in was the kitchen section.  We’re not in the market to make any changes to our kitchen yet, but I would love this sink/faucet combo -

And finally to accessorize, I REALLY wanted this bowl -

It was in and out of the cart several times, don’t ask my why it ended out.  Big mistake, huge.  But don’t worry, lot’s stayed in the cart, stay tuned!
