London Calling

 

Once upon a time, my father served on the Pennsylvania Trade Commission for a few years. He was included on a trip to London when I was 16 going on 17. My mother and I decided to go with him, while my poor older sister had finals and to settle with a study abroad trip to Australia to study birds. For biology credit. I had to dissect frogs (and worms, sharks, fetal pigs) for biology credit.

I absolutely adored my very brief week in London and have been in love with the city ever since. I also take every opportunity to buy things with London on them. I spied this Lulu Guinness for JC Penney tote bag whilst shopping with the hubs, and he bought it for me as a Christmas present. We found a coordinating wallet and umbrella at the Penney’s near my parents (our store didn’t have them).



Or how about these London prints snagged at Ikea?



I’m still lusting after this gorgeous wall canvas, also from Ikea. But it’s just too big to put anywhere (that’s what she said).

 
And then I found this pillow on Overstock.com. After adding to my cart, I saw that only one was left, so I was compelled to buy it. I lack self-control. Hence the London themed guest room to house all of my impulse buys.
 


Who else has themed décor in their house? What are your themes?
