Obsessed with – Moody Florals!

Hi All!!

Have you been having a wild and crazy week, too?! I figured as much!

Well, maybe you can take some time (I hear inhaling/exhaling 3 times helps with the over-whelmsies – I have not tried it since it takes so long!!), breathe and feel soothed by these amazing botanicals.

What makes them special? The dark background! I’m so obsessed with this look right now!

It’s like I’m in an Austen novel and all I have on my todo list is wonder why Mr. Darcy is so mysterious…in a sexy way.

And obviously, I have to include some fun interiors showcasing these smart florals!

I feel a sewing project coming on!!

Happy Creating! Jessica

Popping Tags at the Restore Store – Spring 2015

April 29, 2015 venicepup

About once a month I take a little detour to check out the pieces at my local Restore Habitat for Humanity Store. If you remember, this is where I scored the HUGE pile of cabinets that later became The Mother.

So really, you just never know what you’re going to walk out of there with!!

And spoiler alert… I did come out pretty darn happy with one of these pieces. Try to guess!!

FullSizeRender-4 copy 3 — Chandelier with potential! $25

Dresser $195 Remind me why I didn’t buy this beautiful thing?!?

Cabinet with brass handles (so much nicer in person) $200

FullSizeRender-4 copy 2 — Chaise (take the skirt off!) $150

FullSizeRender-4 copy — Bench with gold metal legs – $100

FullSizeRender — Awesome side board $495 Imagine all the cool glassware you could store here!!

FullSizeRender-4 — Pair of Side Tables $140

These are the listed prices but if you ask nicely you can usually get a bit taken off the top.

Like Red Velvet?? I did too, so I snagged ‘er up for $40!

I couldn’t resist those shell details!

And neither could Cruz, one of my twins… the other was the opposite of amused.

Actually that’s us at Sprout’s, but that’s how we roll… Slow and loco.

Do you frequent any great spots for gently used treasures?!?

Happy Creating! Jessica

Duvet Choices

Hi All!!

Remember those books you used to read as a kid that allowed you to choose what the main character would do next? Like… “Should Billy go through the evil, enchanted forest or Should Billy tell his mother about breaking her mirror?” You would always pick the forest.

Well, this is how we are going to make a few key decisions in Savannah’s room.

If she picks X bedding, then we’ll go Y route… See? Just like the book!! And then, she can play an active room in deciding what goes into her room.

In my opinion, bedding is where we HAVE TO start. So that’s just what we’re going to do!

Speaking of opinions, um hello! Got any?! Please share!! Then we can all pressure a sweet 10 year old to do what we want… buah, ha, ha!!!
