We're Getting There

This weather stinks! I wish the sun would come out! One of the good things about rain (besides providing water to plants and animals) is that it makes me feel slightly less bad about sitting in front of my computer for hours looking for sconces (lights for those lacking a PhD in lighting terminology. lol) for our master bathroom in our new house (that we still have not moved into- if you're wondering).  Yes, I know it's exciting. Try to contain yourselves, but this is what I have been spending my extra time doing.  Sad, but true. Instead of trying to fit a larger vanity with two sinks into our master bathroom, we decided to buy two smaller vanities, one for me and one for hubby.  My mom said she saw this setup in a model bathroom and it looked pretty good, so we decided to go for it since it would work better in the space that we have.  Take a look at this old picture of our master bathroom: One vanity will go where the sink is and ...

You Light Up My Life

Lately, I am totally obsessed with MANY different things.  Here are my top 5: 1) Mirrors , 2) Pinterest , 3) Bright Colors for my Spring Wardrobe, 4) Decorating in Grey and Yellow and 5) Lighting. In the new house, we're going to need a lot of new lighting.  I'm planning on putting chandeliers EVERYWHERE- the master bathroom, my dressing room, the dining room, the foyer, the re-designed sunroom and possibly the kiddos bathroom too.  Well, when I said I was obsessed, I wasn't kidding! :)  A lot of the new chandeliers are less traditional and aren't what come to mind when you think chandelier. So without further ado, here are some of my chandelier inspirations: Simple and Classic Sausalito Chandelier from Horchow Sleek and modern Arteriors Glass Ball Chandelier from Horchow This is my fav. Love it! Lucia Chandelier from Horchow This one is a lot of fun! Capiz Shell Pendant Light from Horchow  Lovely! Fas...

I'm a BIG fan of mirrors.  I think buying an amazing mirror can take a space from being ho-hum to over-the-top .  I also really love mirrored furniture, especially tables.  Here are some of my current favs.  Now, I know some of these are pricey, but we're talking inspiration here.  If these are out of range for you, you can always try a similar style at a discount home store like Home Goods.  Do you have a favorite store where you can always pick up great home decor? I think these would look great on either side of my bed Pottery Barn Park Mirrored Bedside Table or these Sarried Astrid Lamp Table (just sold out on Joss & Main) This would look lovely in my 'dressing room' in my new house Pottery Barn Park Mirrored Tower Dresser I MUST have this mirror Horchow Knot Mirror Talk about a MAJOR statement Horchow Janice Minor White Porcupine Quill Mirror Very similiar to the Horchow knot mirror Amanda Erin- Michae...
