I HAVE FURNITURE!!!

Ladies and gentleman, we HAVE FURNITURE!!!!!!

I can't even stand it!! I actually have furniture in my formal living room!! I am still a little bit in shock, so forgive my excessive amount of exclamation points!! It has just been such a long road to get here!!

Saturday morning, the husband and I headed over to West Chester Ohio to visit one of my favorite places, the Ballard Designs outlet and the Grandin Road outlet. I am always so overwhelmed with the selection and the awesome prices. Both stores are FULL of great furniture and accessories right out of the catalog.

Grandin Road offers really great outlet prices and that day everything was an additional 50% off!! Gotta love that!! (I know the husband does!) Ballard had an additional 40% off all lighting, so along with furniture for my living room, I also scored a light fixture for my dining room!! Can you stnad it?? I can't!

Unfortunately, I was so excited and so in "the zone" that I forgot to take any pictures of the day!! I will take pictures of the furniture in the room and post pictures later this week!


I hope you all have a happy Monday!! I know I will! I plan to sit in my living room all day!!!

My New Egg Pictures

It never fails. When I am shopping for a client, I usually find something for myself. Today I decided to visit one of my favorite stores, Lola Rue. This store has so many great finds. Old windows, distressed and painted furniture, beautiful linens, decorative pictures. You name it, she has it. I love this store and would really just like to move in and live there! It makes me happy and inspires me each time I visit. Today while shopping for accessories for a client, I found these little egg pictures and could not resist bringing them home. I have no idea what I will do with them or where I will put them, but I had to have them. There was something about the colors and the simplicity that spoke to me. Lately I find myself drawn to bird themed items. I am not sure why I feel this way. Maybe its spring, the birds chirping each morning, sitting on the trees in front of my house. Or maybe, it is the little nest of baby birds under our deck that my sweet husband has become obsessed with! (He is always asking me to come and look at the birds!) Whatever the reason, the egg pictures made there way into my house. I am thrilled with my $8 purchase and can't wait to find the perfect display for my eggs. I'd love to hear your ideas! What would you do with these pictures????
