June 5th, 2012 Yeah, that’s right… Shady with lamp shades. I just scored 2 of these amazing ribbed chrome lamps from Target. I LOVE THEM! It was one of those purchases where they went in and out of my shopping cart like 5 times, until I finally pulled the trigger. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. We need two bedside table lamps, I think these are fabulous, and they are on clearance for $12.48 (down from $49.99)! No brainier, right? Now all we need are two lamp shades to go with them, so I played around on Polyvore a bit

March 13th, 2012 Thanks to those who entered the Hat Attack giveaway! If you haven’t already, it’s not too late! Check it out HERE. *** As if I didn’t have enough DIY projects swimming around in my head right now… here is another one that I must do! One of my ‘regular read’ bloggers Centsational Girl posted about overlays the other day… What are overlays you ask? Great question… They are basically fretwork panels that can be placed over existing furniture to add a little dimension. Here are some examples from the O’Verlays website: Keep reading…
December 7th, 2011 Oh how I love new furniture purchases, and this one is especially exciting because it’s a a custom piece! Back in May I recieved a gift card from my bridal shower (thanks!) to a very cool furniture store in my neighborhood called Bella Decor. But when I finally was ready to use it, I got to the store to find out they had closed!! BOO!! Well fortunately their sister store Sunshine Lucy’s which is just a town over would accept their gift cards, so off Tony and I went to spend our “free” money. That’s

August 1st, 2011 Ok, please don’t laugh at me (great start to a post, huh?) but I have been trying to master folding that damn fitted sheet ever since I was old enough to do my own laundry. I mean, nothin says a house full of pretty like an organized linen closet, right? Right? Who’s with me? So I posted what I thought was a helpful video a while back, but still… no dice. Well good ol’ Martha has offered a step by step tutorial, complete with pictures (I love pictures!) and so I’d like to pass on the deets to see if

July 5th, 2011 So I totally go through “room phases” where I focus on one part of the house for a few weeks, adding decor or just rearranging things with stuff I already have (preference). Right now I’m on a bedroom kick! A few posts back I talked about our new bed coverlet and my attempt to use a West Elm gift card to complete the look. Well, mission accomplished! I’m not a huge fan of purchasing a comforter/duvet’s matching pillow shams because when you have a bold pattern on the bed, sometimes the shams are overkill. So I found

June 30th, 2011 Thank you Citicard (and Tony and my recent flight purchases) for providing me with enough points to score home decor gift cards. This month, I’m heading to West Elm to pick up some goodies with my new found money. I popped in the other day for a little “pre shop”. Yes, I do that sometimes. Don’t judge I didn’t have the gift card yet, but I went in to check out the inventory. Sometimes I get overwhelmed when I have cash or a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. Anyone know what I mean? It’s like

June 14th, 2011 Ooooweee I love me a good deal! Lucky for you, I’ve spent a whole lotta time over at Crate and Barrel recently, and so I had to give you all the heads up that some of their gorgeous and oh-so-comfortable Marimekko duvet covers are on MAJOR sale right now. Get ‘em while they’re HOT!!! The Samovaari Collection in various colors like Leaf and Surf are great for coed bunk-mates, because they’re pretty but not overly feminine. Once was $109.00 Now is $39.95 Ok I have been eying this baby for MONTHS but already

May 26th, 2011 So our bedroom needs some major assistance. It’s one of the rooms in the house that few people see, and so I guess it’s taken a bit of a decorating back seat! In addition to desperately needing a headboard (oh the search has begun) we needed something pretty to hang above our bed. Of course, I wanted something original but not super costly. Oh, don’t we all Result? “Do It Yourself” I say! So I was totally inspired by these fabric framed photos I found while perusing Pinterest… Suzanne Kasler

March 11th, 2011 Oh how I love a good night’s sleep. I’m one of those people that could get into bed at 8pm every night and be totally happy. But what makes me even happier, is a brand new comforter or duvet to cuddle up to! Now in this case, comfort trumps everything. You want to look for something that feels good against your skin, can withstand a good wash (machine washable is always preferable) and of course, fits on your bed! But that doesn’t mean you can’t find a spread that also looks great! Anthropologie hands down has my FAVORITE
