27 items

The great thing about online shopping is you can put anything you want into your shopping cart, even if the price tag is way out of your budget, and then just walk away without feeling guilty that some poor unsuspecting employee is going to have to put all of your "I'm not really going to buy that" wish-list items back on the shelves where they belong. Does anyone else ever do that? I must admit, I do it all the time! It's definitely on my top 5 list of ultimate time wasters. Well today I spent some good quality (wasted) time browsing at UrbanOutfitters.com, and let me tell you, I put a whole apartment into my shopping cart! Then I got the brilliant idea to waste even more time by creating a fun little mood board to show you all the things that caught my eye. What do you think?

Doesn't this make you want to start from scratch and totally redecorate? I know I would love to!

Here's a breakdown of the individual items in the room, in case you're interested.
  1. Vintage Floor Lamp - available in yellow too!  
  2. Madeline Chair - I have a thing for turquoise
  3. 5x7 Zigzag Printed Rug - only $69.00! I think I might actually have to get this one.
  4. Hairpin Coffee Table
  5. Gregor Convertible Sofa - folds down for a guest bed, and the seat lifts up for extra storage!
  6. Waterfall Ruffle Pillow - a great size at 18" square
  7. Romantic Floral Scarf Pillow
  8. Mosaic Wall Mirror
  9. Step Back Into Fun Art Print - only $35.00 for a large 28x20 print!
  10. Industrial Stencil Letters - $8.00 each, so spell a short word
  11. Vintage Wood Locker Wall Shelf 
  12. Illuminated Orion Globe
  13. Desktop Globe
  14. GiGi Nightstand in yellow
  15. CoCo Cabana Chair - love the shape of the metal frame
  16. Impressionist Flowers Curtains 
Now if only I had 1,992 extra dollars in cash lying around so I could make this room a reality! *SIGH* if only.

Where do you like to kill time shopping online? And if you could buy one thing from my shopping cart, what would it be?

------------------------------

p.s. wondering why the title is 27 items when my mood board only has 16? That's because there is a lot of other fun stuff in my virtual shopping cart that didn't make it into my "if only I had a bunch of money to redecorate" inspiration room. See those items here:

p.p.s. Urban Outfitters didn't pay me to write this, but perhaps they should. :)
