Recently we’ve talked a couple of times about wallpaper accent walls, but how about wallpaper on the ceiling? In this bright blue-green bedroom from the June/July 2010 issue of Lonny, that’s exactly what we get!
The bold walls of this bedroom coordinate perfectly with the patterned paper on the ceiling. In my opinion, at least. What’s your view on this room?

Last week, I posted a Love This Look? post about wallpaper accent walls. Ever since then, I’ve been thinking about how I would recreate the look. So, I made a moodboard for it!
Creating a living room based around the wallpaper accent wall, I chose a patterned paper that had a bold purple background and green, blue and yellow accents to work with. The above moodboard is what I came up with. Looking at it again, I’m thinking I would maybe make a quick change and paint the walls the green accent from the wallpaper rather than the buttery yellow.
How would you approach the wallpaper accent wall?

Materials: BILLY height extension unit, BILLY wall shelf, veneer strips, stain Description: I needed horizontal wall cabinets that would run the length of the wall and give me all the space I wanted without compromising on style. So I took a few store-bought IKEA items and turned them into a one-of-a-kind fully customized shelf unit.

I know what you’re thinking, but I can’t help it. I LOVE pink! And being that there’s not a chance my fiance will ever allow me to have pink living room, I’ve got to live vicariously here! Maybe I’ll ask him if we can paint our entire living room like the last image here, just to see what he says. Or I could just paint it – April Fools Day is just right around the corner!
What do you think of these pink living rooms?

Do you know the difference between a coffee table and a cocktail table? I didn’t either, don’t worry. I figured a coffee table was well, a coffee table and a cocktail table was essentially a bar table. But then I started seeing low tables in living rooms being referred to as cocktail tables and I had to do some investigation as to what the difference is between a coffee table and a cocktail table. And guess what? There’s no difference at all! They’re exactly the same thing.
I know you’re not supposed to fully trust Wikipedia, but I often do, especially when it sounds legit. Here’s what they have to say about the coffee table vs. cocktail table debate: “A coffee table, also called a cocktail table, is a style of long, low table which is designed to be placed in front of a sofa, to support beverages (hence the name), magazines, books (especially coffee table books), and other small items to be used while sitting, such as beverage coasters. ”
Makes sense, right? Both coffee and cocktails refer to beverages and depending on what time of the day you’re sitting at the sofa, it’s like that you’re sipping a coffee or a cocktail. (Or both!)
After reading Wikipedia, I headed over to Cymax and went through some of their coffee tables and cocktail tables and found the images above. As you can see, one has glasses for cocktails and another has a cup for coffee (or tea). So, the styling on these tables reiterates the fact that cocktail tables and coffee tables are essentially one in the same!
Well, after all that rambling, I’m glad I settled that! From now on, I’ll use the terms interchangeably depending on the time of day or what type of beverage I’m craving! How about you – what do you call these tables – coffee tables or cocktail tables?
