Great Lighting Find

Don't you love a great find? Items on sale make me giddy! Just look at this fabulous wood beaded chandelier from Pottery Barn Kids! It was $199 and is currently $118.99! Such a great price!

This would look great in any nursery, children's bedroom, or playroom! It adds warmth and texture to a neutral, or colorful space! It's darling in the above nursery and yet so simple! I sure wish there was a space for it in my home!! 

Kitchen Lighting

I've told you a million times how important lighting is and how it changes the feel of a space! Case in point, my kitchen! The builder lights had to go! They were small, an eyesore, and doing nothing for the space, but casting an ugly amber glare on everything! 

And, voila'! I switched them out for new Allen + Roth polished nickel mini pendant lights from Lowes! They were running a 20% off sale so they were $38 a piece! Now that, you can't beat!

Next up, we are switching out the light above the kitchen table! It's even worse than the pendants were! Details once I make a decision! 

Great Finds {PBTEEN}

I hope you're still reading after you saw the title and aren't rolling your eyes thinking I'm nuts for posting about a Teen store! Sometimes the best treasures are found where you least expect them. Case in point, PB Teen this time! I happened to find some pieces that are for anyone, not just a moody, sassy teenager! 

The bedding selection is pretty great right now! I'm eyeing several shams for our guest bedroom! And, have fun with your bedding, mix it up! Don't buy the 20 piece matching set EVER! I'm thinking the white shams with green dot edging mixed with the black and white ring sham would look dynamite! 

How about that Kelly green paint btw? Love! 

Such a glamorous chandelier and a great price point at only $129! 

Gold and polka dots, yes please! Too bad none of their sheets come in king size! 

Searching for a neutral rug? This kilim rug is just what you need! 

Now was I right? Are you smitten with any of these finds?

Friday Mood Board

Happy Friday everyone! I'm in such a spring mode right now that I decided to come up with this flirty and fresh mood board for a girl's bedroom and bathroom! The best part is that all of these items are from the H&M home line. I'm obsessed with their clothes so why not jump on the rest of what they offer! Check out some of the prices and you'll see what I mean! I mean, how cute is that star throw blanket and I'm dying over the pillow! Any little girl or tween would love a room decked out in this decor!

Have any of you shopped the home line? I'm curious to know if you have and what kind of quality the products are. I'm thinking they are along the lines of IKEA probably! Please share if you have experience them before! I'd love your feedback!

Good Deal, Great Find

Via

Looking for a new dining table? Wanting a weathered farmhouse style table? This Restoration Hardware table is simple and classic. But, why pay close to $1,000 when there's an alternative! 

Via

 You could score this Blanca Table at World Market for $499! It's similar style will please the eye and the wallet! 

Now, I'd say that's a good deal and a great find!! 

Steal of the Week

This beauty is finally mine!! I waited and waited thinking it would go on a deep discount and sure enough it did! I scored this Maddox mirror for $55!! The only bummer for you if you're envious is that it's discontinued! Boo World Market! 

However, if you love this 19th century style then you can grab the very similar Mansard mirror from Restoration Hardware. It will cost you a few hundred more though. And honestly, I prefer the finish of the WM version! 

Now, I need to figure out where to hang this fabulous find!

On My Radar

 Overstock is having a white sale which means their already reduced prices are even lower now! I was browsing their site and amazed by all the goodness! I spotted this gray Moroccan rug that I'm dying to have in my bathroom. 

This rug would be only $65 for a 3 foot by 5 foot! You can't beat that for a wool rug! 

And how about this blue beauty? Ugh, if only I had more floor space in my home for additional rugs! They are only too good to pass up. Maybe I'll just start hoarding pretty rugs!

When I was looking at rugs I somehow meandered over to lighting and decided this flush mount with all it's sparkling crystals needs to come home to my bathroom as well! $100 people! Why not?!

Are you a James Audubon fan? If so, you can get a 16/20 framed print for $60!  I adore this 'Great Blue Heron' as well as this 'American Flamingo' print! Both of these would be perfect paired together in any space! 

Are you an Overstock fan? Do you plan on shopping for something new for your home? 

Target Goes Pink and Gold

After all the holiday shopping conducted at Target I thought maybe I'd give the old Red Card a break. Then, I made the mistake of perusing their site for a particular rug and came across all the new and glorious Threshold items! Behold pink and gold fabulousness! I'm doomed! 

                       

Do you have a gold obsession like I do and need some personal restraint?

High/Low Chairs

HIGH- Spool Chair, Layla Grace, $1,452.00  | LOW- Spindle Chair, Z Gallerie, $599.00  |  

HIGH- Cardiff Tufted Armchair, Pottery Barn, $899.00  |  LOW- Home Loft Concept Club Chair, Wayfair, $324.99  |

I saw this high/low armchair comparison on Pinterest and thought it was definitely worth sharing with you! 

I can speak from experience and honestly say that the 3 beige low end chairs are fabulous finds! I've sourced each one out to clients before and they have all been very happy with the quality and comfort. Plus, you can't beat the prices! The Spindle Chair at the top from Z Gallerie is one of my favorites! Too bad I don't have a place in my own home for it! 

Lighting that will Surprise You

We all love a good bargain so I had to share a few chandeliers that I found that look amazing in person but won't break the bank! 

Totally loving this beaded chandelier from World Market! Plus, it's only $199! Such a bargain! It also comes in a larger size here which is still a score!

and how about this one...

This gray vintage chandelier has major design appeal! And....only $149!

If farmhouse is your style, then this is your light at $249.99.  It's such a striking centerpiece! 

Remember, lighting can make such a huge impact in a space but not a huge dent in your wallet with one of these finds! 

Do any of these fit your style? 

Stationery Love

Are you drooling yet? I'm obsessed with A)gold B)stationery and C) polka dots, so I think these are calling my name!! The best part is that these hit Target shelves a few days ago! Gotta love Sugar Paper products! 

I was even at Target yesterday but didn't have a chance to check out the new line because "A" was that kid at the store screaming and tossing the groceries out of the cart! Yep, it was fun! So, while she's at school today I'm headed back for a gander! 

Are you in need for some new stationery?! Run to Target! 

Sugarboo Love

Are you familiar with Sugarboo artwork? I'm so obsessed! The bathroom at our Mitchell Gold Bob Williams store has multiple pieces of this art and it's just so playful and whimsical. I'd love to start purchasing pieces for the girl's bathroom! 

I spotted it this morning on One Kings Lane and there are some great prices! Here are a few of my favorite pieces! 

Are you smitten yet?

A Surprising Find

Sometimes when I'm looking for one thing I unexpectedly find something great! Don't you love it when this happens? While perusing Target online I ran across this piece of fabulousness! 

This wood and brass cart can look like a similar upscale version after being styled. You just can't beat the $130 price tag when others are easily priced at $500 plus! 

I'd be interested to see if this looks as good in person as it does on my computer screen. Has anyone seen one or have one in their home? Please share if you do! 

Summer Sale

Have you checked out the Serena and Lily summer sale? Here are a few of my picks of what to scoop up! 

What's on your list?

Going Green

Reva Flats/ Half Placket Dress/ Flower Necklace/ Marc Jacobs Glasses/ 

Essie Going Incognito/ Chloe Marcie Tote

Are you going mad for malachite? What a great color trend! I just picked up the Malachite Tory Suede flats to add a dose of color to my fall wardrobe. 

And if you aren't into wearing green, how about adding it to your home?  

Via

How fabulous is the malachite on the walls?

Via
I'll take the lamps please!

Via

These emerald drapes are stunning!

Via

The small doses of green pop against the neutral sofa.

Velvet and green...

Do you have any malachite or emerald in your home? It is the Pantone color of the year you know! 

Sofa Happenings

Via

Hello Roberto my love! This just might be happening in our living room in a Graphite color! While I find nothing wrong with our current sofa, my hubby needs something more comfortable and suitable for lounging. 

Here's a reminder of what our living room currently looks like. The pillows have since been relocated upstairs. I have black and white La Fiorentina pillows in the chairs now. I also am thinking about a natural fiber rug or this one in place of the chevron.

Also, really digging this cocktail table! I've had my eye on it for a while and it's currently on sale for 15% off! I need something a little less traditional and lighter to replace our quick fix table that we've had for years. 

I saw this room this morning and fell in love! It really inspired me to make some of these changes. 

Via

Doesn't this room look so cozy and inviting with the ivory chair and charcoal sofa? 

So what do you think? Should I go for the graphite sofa? I'm thinking it will transition nicely into our space!

My Fall Wardrobe

So, what am I going to be wearing this fall you ask? Well, while I'm still toting around a baby in my belly I'll stick to tights, long sweaters, lots and lots of black, and my GAP skinny maternity jeans. After baby gets here, then I'll be switching it up for sure! 

It's such a liberating feeling to fit back into your pre baby clothes! I can't wait for non stretchy pants and normal waistbands! I picked up some items from my favorite sale, The Nordstrom Anniversary sale that I can't wait to wear when the weather is finally cool!

I'm not big on sweaters with bold prints or animals, but I did pick up this novelty sweater to throw into the solid mix. It can be my Bambi sweater! Wouldn't it be cute paired with these leopard print Ugg flats I picked up? I'd also throw on one of these Michael Kors hinged bracelets. I picked one up in orange and gold.  

This reverse collar blouse is a great essential piece that I can throw on under a cardigan, or jacket. The color is so vibrant and fresh too! It would pair perfectly under a quilted leather bomber jacket as well!

For casual days this Zella hoodie will be comfy and warm! Also, got these Zella move pants. I'm obsessed with this brand which is Nordstrom's activewear brand. The prices are so reasonable! 

My favorite item during fall and winter is a good pair of riding boots. I'm dying to put on these Melissa Frye boots when the season finally changes! 

What did you pick up at The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? Are you ready for fall like I am? 

Target Nails It Again

Have you been to Target in the last few weeks and noticed the new Threshold roll-out? Um, yeah! This new line is really killing it! I'm overly impressed by all the new furniture especially!

 

I purchased bar stools from Target almost 3 years ago when we moved into our home and they have held up fabulously! The quality really is great! I wish I could say that I needed new ones because these tufted cream ones are stunning!

 

                

 

How gorgeous is this velvet swoop arm chair? Loving this and the black herringbone colorway too!

 

 

 

I'm a total fan of this gray console table. The fretwork detailing gives it a more high end look. It also comes in a coordinating accent table.

 

This tray table makes a nice accent piece!

 

 

Who doesn't love a campaign style piece? This side table has to be my new favorite piece. Someone please by one! I have no place for it! You can't beat the $80 price tag!

 

Faux snake skin anyone? The gold hardware adds a classy touch!

 

Would any of these pieces fit your style and work in your home? I'd love to hear if anyone already owns one of them!
