1. I recently picked up some great, inexpensive sandals for the summer.
The pair on the left is from Marshall's and the pair on the right is from Target.
2. I picked a pink paint for the office and primed over the red. I chose Cameo Pink by Ralph Lauren (the lighter of the two). Now I just need to paint!
3. Earlier this week I went to Sleepy Poet looking for a client, but found this genuine Currier & Ives lithograph on sale for $25.
It's very yellowed, but I love the rich reds and blues. Maybe I'll look into restoring it.
4. I also picked up these cool vintage bottles with numbers (purely decorative). I got "29" which is our anniversary date.
When I got home, I showed them to my husband. He immediately said EWW why did you get this?! I didn't understand, until he flipped the bottle around:
The back reads 'The Embalmers Supply Co.' I was worried it would be a bad omen! But then I said "well Matt, till death do us part."
5. Soo I've changed my mind on these pendants. While I really love them, I have decided darker fixtures would be a better choice, especially against the white cabinets.
Before I list them on Craigslist, I thought I'd ask if any of you out there would like to purchase them. They are glass and brushed nickel. $40 each + shipping. You can purchase just one if you'd like. Email me if you are interested! brynalexandra at gmail.
Okay, I've got to start listing the items I'm changing out on my blog!! Though craigslist seems to do the job! Janell
ReplyDeleteWhat's the paint color there in your breakfast room? I love it, and this would be perfect for my accent wall I'm redoing soon. Thanks!
