{ Man Cave }

quite a sight, ehh?

I know it's a lot to take in.

Bear with me...

It'll all make sense in the end.

(Does anyone have any A.D.D. medication they can share?)

Jonathan Adler comes to Atlanta

Finally!  The long-awaited Jonathan Adler store is opening in Atlanta.  I was able to get a sneak peek tonight right before I attended the Switch Modern Spotlight on Design event, thanks to Liz Lapidus PR. 

Before I show you the images, let me just say that the store is gorgeous!  My pictures definitely don’t do it justice.

I’m looking forward to spending more time in this inspiring store tomorrow night during the grand opening event, and I’m even more excited about getting to meet Jonathan himself!

{ Simple Pillow }

This cutie pillow was made in minutes...

no sewing involved what-so-ev'a

Here's what you'll need

I fell in love with the fabric , and bought everything they had.

I plan on using it for cafe curtains on the sink above my window

in my new kitchen...

(are ya' payin' attention...

ehh-hemm...NEW KITCHEN)

Believe it

First I cut a bunch of shapes out of the fabric with pinking sheers
I like the frayed look
(if you don't, this project's not for you)

I also cut a strip of coordinating fabric to run along the side

Then I just glued the pieces randomly around the pillow
with fabric glue

(pillow case from IKEA, like four bucks or something)

Cute-pa-toot I tell you!
Now, kids, dog, husband, get away from my new pillow!

{ Farmhouse Mantel }

A few weeks ago, John, from 

Stable Tables,

made me this mantel

I finally got around to taking some photos of it.

I love the rustic chunky-ness of it.

I think I need some white or silver

candle sticks for Spring/Summer

But I love the layered effect of the wreath on the door.

The brass part of the fireplace I could do without.

Have a great sunny day!

Friday Find

I’m really excited to share this amazing find with you today. 

I was over at Lakietha’s blog reading about her newly updated entry table and I fell in love.  The dresser that she refinished is gorgeous, but I was more in love with the hardware that she put on the drawers.  It’s to die for.  She found it from a source that I had never her of called MyKnobs.com. 

This is an up close and personal shot of the pulls.

I was sure that these pulls were going to be upwords of $15 or $18, but to my surprise they were only $2.87!!!  Can you believe it?!?  I sure couldn’t.  I got to looking around on the rest of the site and found some other amazing buys too. 

$3.99

$2.23

$2.63

$3.99

$4.40

$6.60

I would love to have these polished nickel on my kitchen cabinets in my new house!

$9.53

Head on over to MyKnobs.com to check out all of these amazing finds.

Have a great weekend!

{Progress in the Quick Fix Bathroom Project}

lot's of progress in project quick fix..

I know it doesn't seem like much, 

but remember the before

I used oil based KILZ to cover the old gray & pink tiles.

I let the KILZ dry for about 24 hours.

Then I covered it in latex semi gloss

{Swiss Coffee - by BEHR}

the vanity has been painted the same black as all the doors in the house.

I don't know why I left the toothbrush holder and the soap dish pink?

no knob yet, still deciding

shutters are up

wallpaper is down

and something has to be done with those brass hinges...

it's amazing what a black toilet seat can do to a white toilet.

and one more addition to the room,

if I can get someone to remove the toilet for me...I've got a great surprise

{ Spring Room Arrangement }

sort of...

I had a girlfriend come over and help me move some furniture around

*{thanks Jen}*

I had this sweet little Armoire since Camille was a baby,

but I didn't know what to do with it anymore.

It definitely needs a fresh coat of paint.

It was up in the 

{Mom Cave}

but there was no purpose for it there,

and it was just taking up room.

{valuable "mom" room}

My sister-in-law suggested I put it in my bedroom for Danny's clothes

so, I've been pushing it around my bedroom all morning

over here...

so, then I had to move the blanket chest somewhere

over there...

over the the other side...

too much on one side?

what do you think?

I love this free decorating, and I seem to do it pretty often.

It freshens up the space and makes you think outside of the box.

do you rearrange your furniture every couple of months?
