Check it out...my 15 minutes of fame....

Just kidding! But I was featured on an awesome nestie's blog (for those who don't know who the nesties are...they are a bunch of internet friends from thenest.com).

She did an article of finding treasures from thrift stores and turning them into pieces we can use now! My lamps were featured.

Check out the link and look at all the neat treasures that were posted! Take the time to look at her blog as well!

Pure Bliss...

Don't you just love lazy Sundays with your favorite scented candle burning, windows wide open with a slight breeze, your most comfortable clothes on and cuddling with the one you love or your pet while reading a book and relaxing?

Today is that day for me....it's the little things in life that mean the most!

My favorite things...

It's that time of the month....the time where I dish on my newly discovered (and some oldies) favorite things! 1. Sandals from Target! They always have a great and affordable collection of casual and dressy sandals. I bought this pair last week in brown, but I must say I am really wanting a pair in this wine color!

2. My new favorite Spring/Summer nail polish for a great pedicure: Opi's Done Out in Deco! So fun and fresh! Great way to welcome Spring.

3. I LOVE Votivo candles....one candle burns forever and smells up the whole house. My all time favorite is Red Currant, it has a clean, warm, floral scent. My mom is a huge fan of these candles and sells them on E-bay.

4. Imperial Trellis Fabric....it's such a fun design and it comes in all different colors and textures. It makes a great throw pillow or wallpapering one wall as accent in this design would be fun as well!

5. Open by Andre Agassi. I remember watching Andre growing up playing in Slams and playing at Wimbledon. I remember his crazy hair and jean shorts, so I thought it fitting to pick up his new book and read it. I am nearly finished and have found it to be a good and honest read into his life.

Guest Bathroom Reveal....

So, I am really bad at remembering to take before photos. I get halfway through my project or nearly complete with my project and a light goes off reminding me that it is now to late to take a before photo.

The guest bathroom before wasn't horrible...but the colors were horrendous. Every color the house was painted by the original owners had mustard undertones. The bathroom was green with mustard undertones...not calming or bathroom like to me at all.

We painted, added a few pictures and a new shower curtain and already it feels much better. Still to do: change the faucet, hardware and light fixture to an oil rubbed bronze and replace the baseboards. They are scratched and worn from 10 years of use so we will be replacing them.

Oh- and that hand towel is there for display and the picture only. It skeeves me out to have towels near the toilet.
