{Lace LOVE}

I am obsessed with all the LACE this season. 

It's romantic, sexy, and stylish.

LACE + GOLD = LOVE 

We have seen it used this last year in weddings for decor or even on wedding cakes.

It has also been used in unexpected places throughout the home. 

On walls, bedding, and even floor stencils. 

I can't help but *drool *over all the LACE!

{loveseat inspiration}

I just love Turquoise and Hot Pink together. Don't you?

My inspiration came from this design board below seen on ISuwannee 

{You must hop over and check out the blog, AMAZING!}.

Specifically, the adorable love seat above upholstered in David Hicks la fiorentina fabric.

I just LOVE this fabric!

Here it is again but on a Vintage French settee featured in Domino.

All I can imagine is a cute little love seat at the end of my bed covered in a fun pop of color. 

Of course, it has been an obsession and I must find something ASAP. 

I grabbed my laptop and started scouring my top three sites. 

I ended up coming across this OMG High end Baker piece {if you don't know Baker Furniture you must check out the website {here}}. 

This is one of those pieces that you would have probably said pass but to someone like myself this is like hitting the jackpot! All you DIY'ers out there are totally drooling right now. All you Designers know Baker Furniture and especially know how much they cost so for you and your client this is a total SCORE.

Check out this Empire Baker Loveseat!

It is from a Newport Beach Estate and as you can see is FILTHY but CAN YOU JUST PICTURE THIS COVERED IN David Hicks La Fiorentina fabric???

Sadly, it is too big for my space and I wont be able to use it now {wiping my tears}. 

So ladies and gents it is up for sale once again!

Leave me a comment with your name/email address/questions and I will contact you with all the info.

{craigslist SCORE!}

As many of you know I love me some Craigslist and those close to me know my home is fully furnished from Craigslist, Thrifts Stores, Flea Markets, and Home Goods {and of course Anthropologie}.

Today, I am so excited to show you a piece I found on Craigslist and share how I got it. 

The room I am focused on today is my bedroom. 

My bedroom colors are yellow, black, white, grey, and a touch of purple, a little Hollywood Regency, Modern Twist.

When I decorate a bedroom I don't normally start with the nightstands but in this case I will make an exception. Why? Oh, because I found the two most AMAZING pieces. 

Yep that's right, isn't she lovely and the best part is she was only $75.00.

Now because this piece is original vintage from the 1960's-1970's era the possibility of finding another piece to match is near to impossible. I was thinking I was going to have to find a vintage side table that would go with this beauty and match the yellow with paint. 

Until, I was searching Craigslist last week and came across this magnificent vintage Hollywood Regency style night stand!

First off, the color could not be any more PERFECT, right! 

Second, REALLY, a Vintage Dorothy Draper style night stand has been a dream ever since I saw this credenza Vanessa De Vargas styled. You may have seen this shot on {DecorPad}.

I was secretly disappointed that there wasn't two nightstands so if I wanted to change things around later and turn it into a credenza like above, I could. However, I am not COMPLAINING!

The BEST part of this find is that I did not spend a penny. That's right! I ended up trading a different table that I no longer was using, it wasn't really my style anymore anyways. 

As many know, I am very budget minded when I shop like most of you are or having to be now. 

Today with the economy the way it is, people are having to downsize, losing their houses, and can't fit there stuff into the new place. 

The way I see it is, why not be creative and help each other out. It turns out to be a WIN, WIN for both of us! 

If I know I have something comparable to what they are selling. I will offer to trade. It may not always work but in this case I got LUCKY. 

This was too big for them and it was PERFECT for me! 

SHH! Don't tell anyone my secret but if you happen to try it out, you must leave me a comment and tell me all about it.

GOOD LUCK SCOURING!

{Check back as I have a very special bedroom DIY project coming up and I can't wait to tell you who I am collaborating with!!}

{dilemma of the week}

Okay, I have a dilemma this week and need your help blogger's!

I just moved and I am trying to decorate my new place. I have been searching for a new rug for my living room, after scouring every online rug store and seeing who had the best sale going on.
I finally decided on a rug from RugsUSA.

chevron (black and white zig zag)

I love the choice I made but now here is the problem. I have a 3 year old who runs around all day, who likes to change her outfit 10 times a day, each time putting on a new pair of shoes. 

The front door also opens into the living room, so when people enter they will be entering onto the rug. 

How do I keep a black and white rug from getting super dirty from all the foot traffic?

I could ask for people to take their shoes off when they enter. However, I am still afraid I will have a dark trail across the rug where people frequently walk. 

Do I scotch-guard it before laying it down? Do I have it cleaned more often?

I am so nervous that I don't even want to lay it down! Any suggestions....

While I figure out what I am planning on doing with the rug situation, here are a few other rugs I was considering from {RugsUSA}.

{FYI: They are having an amazing sale going on, anywhere from 20-50% off rugs. 

Don't wait go check it out NOW!}

Which rug would you choose?
