Sprucing things up

I love interior design and I love home furnishing stores - you'll often see me just wandering around in them when I have no real intention of buying anything. They just give me a sense of calmness and satisfaction and so I usually leave feeling uplifted. Hey, I can't explain it so I don't fight it :)
That being said, I have had the urge to actually start redecorating lately. Here are some decorative items that I have picked up or am hoping to pick up along the way...


I fell in love with these plates and knobs at Anthropologie. The plates look like the peacocks have been sketched on with a pencil and the gold trim around the edges gives a touch of class. I'm not sure I would eat off of them, but maybe on the wall? The knobs really make me want to buy an older dresser and refurbish it - just need to find the right one.


I've actually been lusting over these lamps for over a year now (they're a bit/a lot pricey, but so gorgeous). A perfect statement piece (from Liberty in Vancouver).


I've been on the lookout for the perfect floor mirror and this may be it (Restoration Hardware). Simple yet bold. I also noticed this laptop case at RH as well. Not exactly a decorative piece, but divine none the less. If only I had a larger laptop...The glass ball is actually pretty big (and heavy!) and I picked it up at Crate and Barrel. It looks great sitting on a stack of old books.
