Just back from Atlanta, I took a quick trip by Ikea to see what was new. What was meant to be a quick jaunt in and out turned into an hour and 1/2. There’s SO much to see in this fun store. I stopped by really to pick up a set of beautiful drapery panels [...]

There were so many neighborhood sales this weekend, I could hardly decide which one to hit first. So, I hit Brook Highlands and then headed over to Northlake at Greystone to see what was left.

Living Room Updates

April 20, 2010

You’ve seen the salon wall with the gold table underneath. Several of you said I must get rid of that table, that it just wasn’t big enough. But, you know what? I like it a lot and think it fits that wall just perfectly. I can’t have anything really wide in this walk-way, there’s just [...]

Thrifty Treasures: For $27 and Change

April 11, 2010

It was indeed a good yardsale Saturday and I had a lot of fun scoping out a few deals. Found this chair, which I’m not sure where I’ll put (probably one guestroom), but it called my name at $15 and I think it will look fabulous with a coat of paint and some new snazzy [...]
