It’s a jungle in here!
One of my long-time blog buddies let me know that she too had plans for a British Colonial decorating scheme “but over time, it became more like “world fusion”. I can totally see how that happens. Look at this one room: I started out with a BC design vision that was already a mishmosh of What If the West Indies and the British Raj Had A Baby and now I’m drifting over onto the African plains. I don’t care though – those zebra seat covers and a giraffe throw. How could I not?
Also, look at that ivory colored faux bamboo mirror back there. I think I need to get out my can of Metallic Gold spray paint. What do you think?

Regardless of what one wants to call it … your colors, textures and patterns are coming together so beautifully and I am sure that once you are done, you will have a truly lovely home filled with exquisite finds and special treasures! (I would wait on the gold for the mirror frame because it currently ties in with the lamp to the right of it and with the color of your sectional – – which, BTW, is gorgeous).
Hello, long-time blog buddy! 🙂
I worry about off-white overload especially since I have resprayed my plaster elephant table with the same Krylon Ivory. as that mirror. I suppose it would be wise to wait until everything is in place, but waiting has never been my strong suit.
I like all of your decor. And I really like those floors.
Thank you! The former owners put those ceramic floor tiles through out the whole living space except for the kitchen. I like them so much I’m even considering going without area rugs altogether.
And yes, Jann, I agree. Wait on the gold. Could be nice, though, but as you say it goes nicely w that lamp and you can always do it later.
Where are my rash and impulsive commenters? Why must it always be sane and reasonable people giving level-headed advice?
Her* exact words “YOU GOTTA BE SHITTIN ME!!!!”

Spray away. There is no such thing as too much gold.
Right? I’m actually toying with a tortoise finish. Have Sponges Will Travel.
GOLDT for the WIN!!! Dooooo it!
See? I knew my soulmates were out there!
I say go with the gold immediately so that the mirror stands out on it’s own! And I am in love with your sectional too!
Yes immediately. That is how i like to operate. Fools rush in where the prudent fear to tread and the spraypainters are right behind them.
