high gloss.

A new online home decor magazine launched on Tuesday, High Gloss. The editor is Paloma of La Dolce Vita, and let me tell ya, that lady knows a thing or two about interior design. So, it's not really surprising that High Gloss has plenty of beautiful pictures and lots of great ideas.

Below are a few of my favorite images from the premier issue of what will surely be a go-to online source for all gorgeous home-related goodies.

This is an image from Jamie Meares' home. Have you checked her blog and website? They are must-visits!

 I love the zebra rug and really love the soft palette, even though I don't think I could ever do this color scheme.

Another soft(ish) palette, but I love the preppiness!

Check it out, I'm sure you'll love it!

decorate my walls.

I've mentioned this before, but J and I have lived in our house for four years, and not until recently did we really start to tackle decorating the place.

We painted the living/kitchen/dining area a couple of years ago, and have slowly been painting the rest of the house. The previous owners loved their butter yellow, but I had other {more neutral -- save for the kitchen} colors in mind.

Anyway, I've also mentioned previously that J and I want to do a couple of gallery walls in the house: one above the couch in the living room and one above or across from our bed in the master bedroom.

Since making that decision, I've been trying to make decisions on what all I'd like to have framed and/or hanging on our walls. {And, I'm not the best at making decisions ...}

Cut to yesterday. I hadn't been on Etsy in quite some time, but I constantly see other blogs posting about the awesome stuff they've found on there. And, yes, I've found some cool stuff, too, but I've only bought one thing and it's currently hanging in the house -- and wirewrapped M.

I'm a Chi Omega {hoot, hoot} and really would like to have a little owl representation in our house. Side note: J had a friend staying at our house over the weekend for a golf tournament and he thought I was a Kappa because I have a fleur de lis on one of our shelves {from my MIL, who is also a Chi O -- what was she thinking??}


Ok, I'm really getting to the meat of the story now. I found these babies from littlebirdstudio and thought they would be perfect hanging where the previously mentioned M is now, so that we can move the M into our gallery wall. So I got three. And at only $8 a picture, it was pretty much a steal!

I'm really excited to get these babies in and then matted and framed. I'm thinking either a simple black frame or kind of a thin ornate-ish one. What do you think?

La Dolce Vita FLOR Giveaway

Have you ever checked out La Dolce Vita? It's this great home decor blog by Paloma, based in Houston. She always has great features and great room ideas!

Right now, LDV is doing a giveaway.

Have you ever heard of FLOR? They are rug tiles that you can put together for custom sizes. They come in many different styles and patterns. Paloma showed us the Lattice pattern in the cinnabar/bisque combination.

I've been getting these catalogs for a while. I usually look through them and see plenty of things I like, but I've always been a bit wary of the fact that you have to put them together. Plus, I've always been unsure of the quality.

Looks like my worrying has been over nothing, because Paloma said hers was great and Brooklyn Limestone {another home decor blog} put the faux bois Flor in her "box room."

So, now I'm sold!

Head over to LDV and enter in her giveaway, but fair warning, I plan on winning!
