Delightful Desks and Dressers...

One of my favorite things in home decor is quirky and creative arrangements on desks and dressers. These images from super chic interior designer Kishani Perera (who I discovered via Desire to Inspire) make me want to run upstairs and start redesigning my dresser right now... or maybe after a quick stop at the flea market!  All of the objet she has selected for the spaces are so interesting and off-kilter - they just makes me happy! Check out more eye candy here.

Vintage-Inspired Room & Invitations

This is like a "room-to-wedding invitation" post!  I love the mix of vintage pieces with black and Mid-Century elements in the space above. It segues perfectly into these ridiculously gorgeous French flea market-themed invites by Bird & Banner....

Like I Give A Frock + Giveaway Time!

On the lighter side of bedside reading... I've been thoroughly enjoying "Like I Give A Fock" by Michi Girl, the Australian fashion site.  In addition to its humorous musings on all things style, it features stunningly dreamy illustrations by the most-talented Kat MacLeod. Even those of you not so obsessed with fashion will be taken by the eye candy...

In honor of summertime, I'm giving away a copy of "Like I Give A Frock" to one special reader. And I will also be including an extra, surprise gift from my recent vintage hunting! Just kindly leave a comment telling me the name of a book that has been on your nightstand recently, and you'll be entered.

P.S. I'm sweetening the deal for my "Followers." If you follow my blog, or if you sign-up after reading this, you will be allowed to comment twice - meaning you have two chances to win! To help me out though, please let me know that you have subscribed in the body of your second comment.

Thanks to all of you for being such loyal readers of Peacock Feathers, and good luck!
