These are some of my amazing finds this afternoon! 2 neat shelves, a gift box that I LOVE and some micro-fiber cloths! I also got this cute rug for my 1/2 bathroom on our main level!
I think it looks really good with the green walls... and it is a pretty small space... fits perfectly!
Now... I have also been working on some 'home decor' projects... here is my progress... I'd LOVE your thoughts!
Project #1. This wall is in our living room (down a couple of steps from the open kitchen/dining area)
I have finally decided what I think this wall needs...
Thanks to the wonderful prices at Target... I found these adorable shelf set
Here is the result! I don't know if this is the final draft of what I will arrange on them. But I would LOVE your thoughts here. I need a good place for this beautiful painting... my brother got this for me while in Florence, Italy! I. LOVE. IT. So I need a place to display it so everyone can see!
Project #2. I have been trying to decide if I need to do something different with my mantle. I am on the search for some white framed mirrors to hang above the fireplace... or 1 giant mirror... who knows... it is really hard for me to decide on this stuff.
***side note*** We painted the fireplace white- so please ignore the off-white tile b/c we have plans to change them, along with the fireplace front thing.
Here is a close-up of the mantel... I would love any suggestions you may have.
Ok... I got these adorable vase filler wicker balls... any thoughts on how to use them? I have a few empty vases I can try... but.. I was hoping to get some other ideas from my lovely readers! - No pressure.... :)
Hope you all have a great Saturday... I'm heading on a date with the hubby!
LOVE home goods. even when i'm having a crappy day, that place just makes me so happy. i can't walk out without spending at least $50. such an addiction. haha

I LOVE all of your additions to the house :)
ReplyDeleteI would probably spend every penny of my savings if I went into a store like that!!
Super cute wall!! I love how you arranged that just the way it is. I love your mantle! Mirrors would be adorable there, but if you wanted to change some things, I would try some flower in a vase or something since it's spring! Try different heights of things also.
ReplyDeleteThe wicker balls would look super cute in a small bowl on a coffee table or somewhere. Just throw them in something! They will look adorable!
Raylene!!! HI!!! Okay so I randomly found your blog from somebody who commented on mine?! Stacey from Whatever is Lovely. I was looking at her blog and happened to glance over at her followers and saw you:)
ReplyDeleteHow are you?! Love your blog!!!
I LOVE Home Goods!! I really like the trio of shelves. I think an over sized mirror would look great over your fireplace! I love what you have done so far, it is really cute!
