recent goodies

I've been trying to control my spending, especially on things that just need to wait- for like when we have a house. But sometimes I just can't pass up a good deal. Here's some fun little things that I am proud of!

trellis wastebasket from Home Goods. Yes I did need a trash can, it will go in my future office. =)

 These little goodies showed up the other day- chevron vanity trays that I ordered from Onekingslane. I have to admit I was a little disappointed with the quality, but I'm certain they will still be soooo attractive in my house ;)

And lastly I have a story to tell, in pictures....

Exhibit A

I've loved this pic for quite some time (from Lonny).. the green campaign dresser, the bamboo gold mirror.

 Exhibit B

Ebay $600... need I say more?

Exhibit C

Craig's List $30

DONE and DONE!

 Stay tuned for a DIY coming this fall =)

centerpieces

Browsing around HGTV (I have a lot of time on my hands), I came across a sweet article about how to decorate your table which got me thinking.. man my table really sucks. Not just my temporary crap rented table out here, but my table back home. I need to invent in some pretty fresh flowers weekly, I'm convinced. My husband would be cool with that right?

Anywho, here's some ideas to make your centerpieces super stylish =)

Well it sure helps when you've got a freakin awesome light fixture hangin down right? 

I like the simple, yet fancy vase with a pop of color from flowers

 Set of 2 decorative vases or urns, oversized.

 Saw this months ago on the decorista... I've never loved burgundy more in my life! Love the idea of having several little vases with flowers, perched on a pretty tray

 Instead of a cluster, try a row of matching flowers, in colored bottles... Obviously for a longer table

all-white vases but not matching. i like

 this is fun, especially if things aren't too busy... collection of random things (but color-coordinated), lined up along the table with flowers

From effortless-style blog, I LOVE that she made these "vases" from tissue holders! The color combo here is killer

love my goldies

I have a slight fascination with gold. Remember the day when silver was totally in style (as far as jewelry goes) and gold was totally NOT? Times have changed my friends, and I think gold is just so classy especially when paired with black.

I love me some color, but there's definitely sophistication and drama and sexiness with some black and gold goodness

love the super ornate mirror against rustic brick... THAT is how you mix styles people!

Note the awesome carpeting, and I always love me some black & white stripe!

 UMmm can I have this staircase for Christmas?

 Love this office... it's dark and mysterious to me, (maybe TOO dark) but it's from the Wall Street movie and with the natural lighting from the huge window, it probably totally works!
