Winner and more H&M
Happy Labor Day to all of you!
Today I just want to pop in real quick and tell you the winners of my pillow cover giveaway. I drew 2 winners to spread it out a little on random.org.
The giraffe pillow cover goes to:
And the zebra pillow cover goes to:
Congratulations!
If the winners doen’t email me until Wednesday, I will have to pick another winner. Sorry!
I wish I would have one for everyone, I really do.
And since we are on the H&M homeline subject, I have to show you the plates that I finally hung up in our kitchen. I added them to the wall of my DIY Pierro Fornasetti plates (click HERE to see the post) and I like the way they look mixed together. I really have a thing for animal anthropomorphism (the attribution of human characteristics or behavior to an animal). Do you remember the little sketches that I posted about last year? (click HERE to see).
Well enough clicking around here and there. You want to see the pictures of the plates on my wall right? And by the way, I don’t see them on the US website for sale but they have a set of candles with similar images (click HERE).
The photos could seriously be a little better but it’s kind of dark in that back corner.

Seeing these photos now I’m thinking about adding some more color like I did in the living room but I’m not painting Karl. I love him just the way he is 😉 Maybe some colored plates thrown into the mix on the wall!

More animals added to my house makes me happy!
Talk to you on Wednesday and enjoy your Labor Day.
Tschüß

i have got to get to an h&m!!!!! got to!
Do they have a home store? I think you can only buy them online
thanks for sharing such a nice post……….
Woohoo!!! I sent you an email already – no one else is getting their hands on my amazing new zebra best friend! 😉
😉
Oh, also I love the new home for those plates AND Karl – he’s so cool!
Yes, Karl’s the bomb!
Love the plates! They look great mixed with the ones you already had.
Thanks Kelly!
Fun new plates, Julia! (I’m loving the spectacle wearing raccoon.)
Me too, they almost look 3D on the wall
Is it just me or does the wall with the plates look grey in the first photo and then darker (taupe) in the 2nd? Is this something you’ve done on purpose? Just curious! 🙂
LOL, nope it’s not just you. The wall is actually Ralph Lauren silver. And with the lighting and depending on where you stand it looks different.
Lucky ladies!!! I love your placement of the plates! They look great in there! So cute
Thanks Erin. I adore them, I think my neighbors don’t get it though because they didn’t say much this weekend LOL. But I don’t care!
Congrats to the 2 winners 🙂
I like Karl the way he is and I think you should leave him as is! no painting necessary! 😉
love your plates very much! 🙂
Happy Labor day to you too Julia!
Oh, like I said, I’m not going to paint him. I totally love him just the way he is.
I love the closeup of Karl! Those plates are adorable.
Thanks Sara. Karl is awesome and sometimes gets missed in the corner up there 😉
Where oh where did you get those chevron kitchen towels?!?! I’m dying over those right now!!
They are from Target last year.
Hi Julia, I came over from YHL and the fell down the rabbit hole of your wonderful blog. I really enjoy your flair. Your DIY plates are really high end looking. What about mixing in some cut glass plates along with colored ones? It would draw in the chandelier’s sparkle. I’d take the arrangement all the down to the floor, too. Looking forward to seeing what figure out!
Hi, cut glass plates are gorgeous and I love them. The only thing is that you end up seeing the hooks when 🙁 let’s see what I can find, because I think I want to find some thrifted plates.
Yeah , true. Although you could always paint the back…..
And that’s true too 😉
Oh my goodness. Those plates are gorgeous! I am so jealous!
I’m normally not a big fan of plate walls but I’m dying over yours. You totally have an eye for quirk and you make it look totally normal. Drooling.
