There is something fabulously unsettling about this...

I love a good stripe.  This one pushes the envelope into crazy town and I kind of like that.  Maybe its because it reminds me of how my brain feels most of the time.  Not quite sure I could live with it, but it definitely makes a statement.  What do you think?

New Addiction

In case you haven't noticed I have a soft spot for secondhand vintage furnishings, and an even bigger soft spot for a great deal.  I am so addicted to Decorator Tag Sale.  For those of you unfamilar with this site its basically where designers like Amanda Nisbet, Sara Gilbane and other great talents sell their excess goods.  Here are some of my wants...
This Russell landscape would look great in my living room... $250, not bad!
Amanda Nisbet's lucite stools, $900 for the pair!


Remember her mirrors?  They can be yours for $400 each.

Chair for a grand.
This 5x7 dhurrie only $40!
Skirted table $50!


Want to cover a lampshade with your own fabric? This biggin' is only $10.
This set of pagodas for $50! Come on people, my palms are sweating...
And to feed my lamp addiction they have lots of unique ones I'm digging...
My wallet just ran and hid. Happy finds everyone!

My latest find

I'm back. I know things happen in threes, and when my sewing machine and camera broke I knew there was another glitch around the corner. That would be my Internet.  All is right in the land of Verizon again, sewing machine is fixed and I got a great new camera for Mother's Day... so its back to business. 

OK, so my living room is coming along with the help of my latest find... this credenza.   I painted it aquarium green. It looked like this a few hours ago...


Paint really changes EVERYTHING! I can't believe how much more alive the space feels.


My inspiration for the color came from here...


I have been struggling with tying in my red entrance and wanted to add pink. I found that small drawer piece at a thrift shop and spray painted it. I really liked the combo with the green from the Domino bible and the green in my Mom's needlepoint so I mixed a bunch of old paint and got my color.




The whole space is open so its been a struggle. I  am still trying out different fabrics for pillows and need to do a lot of editing and painting of other furniture pieces, but it is slowly getting there.

Remember the space looked like this when we moved in...
I have a bunch more before and afters I have been working on to share with you later this week!
