Sunday Ramblings

Sunday, March 1, 2015

Hey ya'll!  I hope you have had a good weekend so far!  While I took the boys to a birthday party at Monkey Joe's yesterday, Handsome Hubby installed my chandelier and teal velvet curtains in my office (check out my design board in this post). They look amazing!  I am hoping to get some good pictures today to show you, but it is gray and gloomy and the lighting is terrible.

Today is the first in a series I will call my Sunday Ramblings which will combine awesome products I have found online, cool home tours, what I have purchased recently and more.

#1 Dining Chairs

We purchased some new chairs from Target on a whim.

Kinfine Morris Oval Back Dining Chair with Arms $119.99 and ships free.


They are currently on crazy sale with 10% OFF WITH CODE

I think they are a great look for less option for these Restoration Hardware Chairs:

VINTAGE FRENCH ROUND FABRIC ARMCHAIR $349

#2  Sanela Curtains

My go to curtains in long length are the Ikea Sanela Curtains. They come in beautiful colors and look luxe.  




#3 Kirkland Accessories

Gold Sphere
#4 Joss & Main Jewelry

#5 Infinity Scarf
Aztec Print Infinity Scarf

#6 Kirkland Lamps

Caribbean Coral Table Lamp
White Lattice Ceramic Table Lamp


Seaside Mosaic Lamp







Home office aka Mom Cave sneak peek

Thursday, February 26, 2015

OMG!  Raleigh shut down today as a result of 1 inch of snow yesterday that melted completely. Now the forecast says we might get a foot of snow!  Good thing I have a bottle of wine handy.

I showed you my home office design board in my last post.  Here's a sneak peek of the update in progress.

I fell in love with the gold and white chevron dish and cup at Pier 1.  They just had to come home with me.  I think they were intended for a bathroom, but they are perfect for my desk. I can't seem to find them online.  If I do, I will add a link.

In the mean time, here's a couple more gorgeous home offices that I have rounded up.

 I can't wait to install the new curtains and chandelier! Stay tuned for more.




 Lisa @ Shine Your Light has a great cornice board tutorial.  I am hoping to use her advise for hanging the new cornice in our bathroom.

Home Office and Craft Room and Guest Room

Monday, February 23, 2015

Thank you for sticking with me after my whining complaining about bathroom lighting.  Since we can't find lights that we love within our budget we are going to get the room painted, hang new mirrors, hardware and cornice.  But first we (Nick) have to fill the nail holes and caulk the molding.





I took advantage of the warmer weather this weekend and worked on some spray painting projects.  My creative design juices have been on over drive as of late and I am bouncing around ideas all over the place!  I got cracking of sprucing up my home office aka craft room aka second guest bedroom.  I didn't want to spend a ton as I don't work from home typically and I don't know how long this will get to stay my girly room since our two boys currently share a bedroom.  I threw together a bunch of stuff that we already head and am making over some finds in order to give the room a cohesive look. Hopefully I will have a real sneak peek for you in the next couple of days. 

Do you have a multi purpose room in your house?  Do you have a girly space of your own or a man cave?

Bathroom Lighting Woes

Saturday, February 21, 2015

Are you all tired of the "Blizzard of 2015?"  We got 1 inch of snow and 1/4 inch of ice in Raleigh and school was closed ALL WEEK!  My whole family is ready to pull their hair out.  Now that the weekend is officially here and our new bathroom lights arrived, I was hoping that we could get the majority of the bathroom redo finished. And that my new bath would look like this:

Yeah right!  I don't have that kind of reno budget but a girl can dream.


I opened the light boxes and they are gorgeous!  I paid close attention to the wattage when ordering the lights and these take 3-65 watt bulbs.  Not bad. But, they are chandelier bulbs which put out less lumens.  Womp womp.  So now we are back to the drawing board.

I am considering these, but am not sure about the shades.

This light would be perfect for the boys bathroom.


I love this look! But it wood involve an electrician and cutting the mirror.


Decor Pad

This look would allow us to use the new mirrors, but still involves an electrician.

I can't find affordable (under $200 each), beautiful, bright light, 3 bulb chrome lights anywhere! Extra points for chrome or crystal accents. No fabric shades.


We struck out at Lowes, Home Depot, Joss & Main, Overstock, and Lamps Plus.  But maybe we missed something.  Any suggestions?
