Of course I hit up Anthropologie while I was in Greensboro over the weekend. It's not a huge store, but it was packed full of the always exciting creative work of their talented design team.

Ombre string wound around an open frame creates a simple and yet powerful display. Anthro's consistent use of whimsy paired with enormous scale always provides such a fabulously inspiring shopping experience.       

The wall treatment behind the dish display was really cool. It was covered with thick papers that were painted with what appeared to be poster paint. They were layered on top of each other with mod podge {I'm guessing} and then some of the edges were ripped or curled back to expose a different color layer underneath. The whole thing was sealed with a clear matte sealer.

In one corner of this display, a faucet slowly dripped into an antique sink that was full of great smelling soaps that were merchandised next to the sink. {sooooo good, this merchandising is}  

This stenciled backdrop was created with lots of layers of transparent glazes which gave it great texture and a sense of age. 

This cute smocked artist was creating a huge paint-by-number. You know how much I love these!

Blues and greens with pops of coral was the color scheme throughout.

This table top had been painted and then distressed to bring the wood through. The rest of the table was left natural wood. This would be a fairly easy DIY project.

Geometric necklaces are everywhere this spring!

Fun light fixture made out of painted metal cans and orange rope. 

More rope in these coiled baskets that were back in the clearance section. They weigh a ton!

The entrance into the dressing room was papered in Osborne and Little's flocked Clarendon print featuring 18th century cameo's. And take a look at that gorgeous hand painted tiled floor.

There were tons of cacti made out of painted canvas that were stuffed and stitched together. So fun. 

These pretty textured bath towels look like ones I remember my grandma having when I was growing up. I am thinking the coral ones need to come live here.
