juicy inspiration

i am happiest when i am putting my creativity to work.
so naturally, i am loving redecorating right now.
i have been giving away a lot of stuff that we got for wedding gifts and really focusing on my own design style. i have a different style than most. i love contemporary, sleek design. but i also love antiquity. top it off with a little glam, and a lot of funkiness and voila...you have lauren-style. i love to be surrounded by design that inspires me.
i am working on my bathroom right now, and i am so excited about it.
i based my color scheme off the las vegas juicy couture boutique.
gray walls, black, white and light pink accents.
i love juicy couture's interiors. they are so lovely and sooooooo my style.
the zebra carpeting is all kinds of amazing. as is the pink armored dude.
i love a bit of randomness that makes people think you are weird.
i love the hung ribbons on the wall. so charming...
of course i am obsessed with their use of apothecary jars everywhere.

a touch of kitsch. whoever designs for them is soooo my people.
i think i want to use this idea and write something on a famous print.
awesome.
praise be! i am in-love-dot-com with that deer head bust. and they gilded it!
if you were wondering if i am getting a deer bust for christmas, i am.
i love this vignette. guuuuh.
stay tuned for my bathroom reveal...
in the mean time, have a happy weekend :)

Bekah Buttons said...

if your bathroom really looks this cute i'd never be able to do a number 2 in it...

oh crap.. boys moderating comments. nevermind. i never do a number 2...

Loys said...

Oh I love those pictures! I've never seen a store like that!
I'm yearning for a deer head bust for quite a while now. Unfortunately, others give me weird looks when I mention that. It's the same with my silver garden gnome. People just don't get it.

I'm curious as to how your bathroom turns out to look!

Beth's Blog said...

Looks great! I can't wait to see your bathroom :)

SJ said...

The design of all the Juicy Couture stores is so gorgeous! What great inspiration!

Nat said...

lauren you are awesome. i can't wait to see the big reveal!

Mauri said...

whoa first maybe?

KatOfDiamonds said...

As you said, not my style but I am very excited to see the reveal!!!

From what I saw of your old bathroom (and the fun lil accents on the walls) I am super excited to see you new one, floor-to-ceiling Lauren from scratch!

That goes for all of the new place =]

Have fun & may those creative juices flow!

Staci said...

It will be amazing, I can't wait for the reveal!!!

Allison said...

Juicy looks great- and I'm sure your house will be even better! :D Can't wait for bathroom pictures!

Paula said...

I don't know those stores. This country do not know their cute things. Shame on it.

Moving on... I can't wait to see the awesomness of your decor ideas. I am now wanting really bad that pink armored person. He would look good next to my front door. (Inside the house, not outside!)

Jennifer said...

I think you should put the word LOVE or maybe your last name in photo with the queen in the background. or you could put Je vous observe..which in french means I'm watching you and then put it in the bathroom....LOL ewww
So Very Cute.

amanda leeann said...

i am head over heels with juicy's current ads...am loving all these photos!

i bought myself some viva la juicy perfume today for no good reason =]

Kassandra said...

So so so cute! I have been a fan of your blog for a while now and love all of your house ideas! I also LOVE you V.D. recaps....they make me laugh and smile!

Cara said...

I love juicy too! In fact Nordy's is having a little half yearly sale and have so much juicy stuff on sale. You need to check it out!

Connie said...

I love all the decor that inspires you. I wish I could say I'm the same way but I don't really have "the eye" that you do! You are talented! Excited to see the new pad..

Crystal said...

Awesome! There are few who could pull that look off. You are one of them. :)

Beth&TJ said...

Grey is the best color if you want your other colors to really pop. Awesome! I can't wait to see how your house turns out!

Molly said...

Am I allowed to say hi to Jake and/or Calvin? ( HI! )

I love apocethary jars. And that Vignette. And pretty much all of it.

Ann Marie said...

I love that you have found your style. Seriously makes me happy.

I love Apothecary.. and Antiques.. and that is about the only thing we are twinners with.. :)

Can't wait to see your abode! How many times have I said that now? he-he.. HAVE FUN DECORATING!!

HedaWood said...

If you want an animal bust...we have an extra elk bust in my garage. My mother won't let my dad hang it in the house. It's huge, and in our place it would scream 'redneck'.
Go ahead and take it, gild it, or whatever!

P.S. I love the hippo in the last pic!

the "L" spot said...

You know I actually like their store more than their merchandise...I'm not a big fan of labels and they are label crazy they through their label on everything.

I do like their jewelry though.

hypocrisy at its best!

S said...

I love your style and can't wait to see your bathroom!

Natalie said...

lol my stepmom freaking lives in juicy. not kidding. it's almost sickening.

you have my four year-old sister who can already tell you the difference between velor and terrycloth..

you know that can't lead to anything good :-P oh well. i'll take up on the free gear while i can.

Noelle said...

So Lauren I want to get this straight, maybe I missed the announcement--Did you buy a house? How exciting for you! It has been so fun having my own place to decorate and work on. I know you will LOVE it. congrats. I'm excited to see the reveal too, I would never have thought to paint a wall grey. Awesome idea. And I love love love apothecary jars too. I wish I had more than 2...sigh.

kirstyb said...

that zebra carpet is amazing x

Sweet Disorder Photography and Design said...

So let me get this straight.
Elena tells Stephan she can't be with him because everybody dies, blah blah blah, and to stay away. Then she changes her mind and he says "no you were right" and then she looks all offended and hurt and cries? Hullo?! What does she expect? Lame.
I didn't read the books but I love the concept of all those vampires trapped under ground for a century! Awesome.
Also.... is it just me or are the corners of Elena's mouth, like, kind of weird? It looks like the sides of her lips are sewn together for a centimeter or something. Just sayin.... She probably has other features on her face but I wouldn't know cause I can't look away.

Marianne said...

Fun times! can't wait to see your new place! Your style fits right in your favorite pass time...thrifting! Go for it!

Michelle G. said...

Wrong account! Anyway, ADORE! Gotta love color and a good print, fact. :)

siovhan said...

ridic. your style is freaking amazing. i can't even believe it.

now if only your bathroom had the capability to make all your pants say "juicy" on the butt -- life would be perfect.

p.s. i love the apothecary jars, too.

RatalieNose said...

Oh Lauren, you getting to redecorate your entire house is like leaving a kid in a candy store!
I can't wait to see the finished product!

Mikaela said...

ooh pretty!
I like your taste!
Oh and I keep saying "sicknast" with out even realizing it.
My husband asked if I've been reading your blog too much. lol

Tariro said...

I love it! & i love your style. I wish my room had pink and blue and zebra stripes. Like tiffany's with a candy explosion. Haha you've inspired me to make my dream room!

Jayme said...

Lindsay, Dano and Navy said...
