don't buy flatware yet!!!!

I just got so excited about this!
what if instead of plain old boring regular flatware you got tons of awesome gold plated flatware?



It would look so beautiful and it would really set you guys apart. I think its something people would remember. Just an idea.

facade

I loved this facade I saw.


I think pennyroyal would look so good with a crisp exterior. Just super heavy on the moulding. You could bring your dark brown color out (hopefully it would look good with what coal umbrella has already done) and then throw the white around with it. It would be such a beautiful contrast and be really eye popping. Even bringing in touches of the blue you guys did the stencils with. especially if it were more greeny-blues. I love those combinations. I also LOVE the gold lettering. its classic, but updated and modern.

I'll keep looking for more, I just loved this one.

chandeleirs

hi hi
here are some ideas for chandeleirs.
I think they crazier the better. as many lights as you can, etc etc.
how many were you going to do again?

this one is from home depot


I kind of love this one too, its super cheap.

also from home depot. I was actually suprised by their selection. for what you need it might be the best (or lowes, or maybe restore, hmmmm)

here are some from brocade home, although I think they are going out of business.
good to get an idea though.




here's an idea i just had:
what if you collected as many chandeleirs as you needed, all different, then unified them by spray painting all of them white (which would totally pop against that dark ceiling) and then added crystals to them all over like the last picture, which would give them a lot more volume.

it could even be cool to do groupings of smaller chandeleirs to make them have more visual weight.
Like, if you're going to do chandeleirs, do 500 of them. go totally overboard.
