Tales of a Wandering Shopper

Hello there. Hope all is well with you. Things were a little bit slow at the office the last week or so, so I had some time to window shop. Here are some of the little goodies I came across. This little guy is a vintage planter. He will be making an appearance on our Easter tablescape. Who doesn't love Home Goods?  Seriously.  They had a bunch of super cute storage options for the boys' play room, lovely lamps, and beautiful picture frames at budget friendly prices.  What more can you want? These were too cute to pass up.  All of the boys' junk  toys will be going into these. I had to have all of these lamps.  Yes, every single one . I was really trying to figure out where these would fit in my house.  Unfortunately, sometimes you can't force something.  Boo! Love the color on these. I love the 'artichokey' shape of these lamps.

Happy Wednesday! When we first saw our house the Master Bedroom looked like this: No complaints.  It was a good size and got a lot of light. Then it looked like this: We took out the carpet (it was a bit more worn than we originally thought it was.), repainted in a similar hue that had more grey than blue undertones and redid the floors.

The closet in the Master Bedroom looked like this: Remember the lovely wallpaper hiding behind the clothes? It's pretty hard to forget, but if you did, take a look at this old post .  Still a work in progress, but now ...

Keep it in the Closet

Closets are SO important.  We put a bid on a house during our recent house search.  Though we loved the house, there was one problem- closet space.  The master bedroom had only one small closet.  It had barely enough room for one person, let alone two people to share, and there were no alternate closets in another room that one of us could use.  If you're going to move out of the city- and an apartment that actually has good closet space-you need to have ample closets.  Needless to say, the deal on the other house fell through and instead we found OUR house.  Hooray!  Though there is only one closet in our master bedroom, and it isn't huge, there is a dressing area down the hall with two closets and a shoe closet that I have decided to take over. Yeah! Finally! A girl's dreams CAN come true!  :) So, now we have to deal with redoing the closets. Let's start off with the closet in the master bedroom: Clo...
