WINNER ANNOUNCED

Winner of the Gift Card Giveaway: #7 Chasing Davies
Thanks for participating. Continue to read. There will be more.

Inspiration

Do you know how you have no clue what you want to dowith it, but you know you want to build around a piece that you like? Well that is how I am feeling about Mid Century credenza's.


One piece was found on ebay and the other on craigslist. I have learned that local shopping for these items gets very pricey. I am talking up over $500 and as Whitney Houston use to say..
"HELL TO THA NAW"


But luckily both pieces are under $250 here. The key is finding someone that doesn't have a clue what they have in their home..Someone kinda like me 2 years ago.

THE RUGS FROM MY LAST POST CAN BE FOUND HERE.

ROAD TO REDEMPTION 2

Here is how I am feeling about one part of the wall. I mean business here. I cant say that I am going to get all this done before the year is up because of Christmas, but I am going to have my stuff together.






ROAD TO REDEMPTION 1

I am in need of a rug...My formal is in need of real help. It is just missing certain
things to bring it all together. I am loving the gray, and the blue option the most.
Keep in mind I still have not selected a "color" as an accent in the room.

The lighting option I think has me more on the fence than
the rug. But I think these are nice, and in the running. I just dont
know if I want a hanging light or not.

Fierce

I saw Christian on Oprah yesterday and feel in love again. I had no clue he came out with a book, so I had to buy it fast. He could roll with me anyday.
You can pick this book up here.

Finally....

We have a project underway tomorrow. I cant wait to see finish product. I posted about it here a while back. Wish us much luck.


Nate and Marni

I saw Marni and Nate in Glamour Magazine and was very excited to see what he had done for his sister. He used items from his line with HSN to help furnish her pad. I will add that the Marni is sitting on my very own office sofa.

Randoms about me

I enjoyed the Q and A so much I decided to add more....



Randoms About Me


1. I am a home body


2. My Grandmother would not allow me to share clothes in High School with friends


3. I cant stand a dirty kitchen


4. I believe there is a difference between nasty, and messy. I get messy sometimes, never NASTY. That's just gross. My example of nasty is hair build up in a bathroom on the floor, sink...anywhere. Or dirty dishes under a bed, car, or sofa. My idea of messy is magazines on the floor with heels next to them. Or bills pilling up on a nightstand. Those things to me are easy fixes. But the nasty stuff requires a cleaning product. I had to get deep on this one yall


5. I kept my hair long for over 25 years


6. I have learned that my true best friend sleeps next to me


7. I installed flood lights on my house as project years ago


8. At work I show my family off more in photos, than verbally because I keep to myself so


9. I was spoiled by my Grandmothers from birth until they died


10. I gained over 50 pounds with my first child. My pre baby weight was 117


11. domino magazine stays at my bedside. I rotate them. They are apart of my mess


12. My Aunts and Uncles still look at me as the baby


13. I use to want 3 kids, but happy that I stayed with 2



14. I am afraid of most dogs


15. I dont watch scary movies


16. I wake up on the hour and get ready in 25 mins. And we are out in 5 mins


17. My husband throws my candy away


18. I love to talk on the cell phone on my way home from work to pass time, and hang up as soon as I pull up into the garage. I am not a phoner.


19. I dont always like going to the movies, but happy after that I did


20. I am in Walmart at least 3 times on Sunday

Carlos Falchi for Target and Guess Kudrow Pumps

I can not wait to see these in person. I am usually on the fence about these bags, but I think I will put my funds into at least one. The prices are sickly good, and they are cute. These bags with the long strap I see thrown across a tee with some boyfriend jeans. I see the clutch with some skinny jeans and a bold top or tee. Also below are the Guess Kudrow pumps. I spotted them in People Style and well. I shall be ordering these bad ass shoes and then hanging up my pump card for a minute. They would look so hot with some skinny jeans, some boyfriend jeans,and even a black
suit with a sleek shirt...Do you like them?
