Sunday, February 23, 2014

Happy Monday friends!  Today I have some exciting news to share with you!   I've submitted a few items for sale over at Hunter's Alley, they have been approved and they are now live on their website.


Why yes that's a vintage palm frond chandelier. Find this beauty here.

And do this with it.


You can also find this super adorable little Chinoiserie lamp here. Perfectly sized for a book case or counter top a la this:


And just in case you're looking for a super glam decanter for your bar cart, I happen to have this.

P.S. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the the tree trunk and branches are metallic gold (!!!) and the blossoms are white.  

If you're curious about my other listings, see them here.

Wish me luck!!!

An Open Letter to Ruthie Sommers

Monday, February 17, 2014

Dear Ms. Sommers,

In a design world filled with shades of greige, clean crisp lines, bleached wood, and ruthlessly (no pun intended) edited interiors, I'd like to personally thank you for the colorful, vibrant, happy spaces you created that were featured in the March 2014 issue of House Beautiful.

You make it cool to combine feminine colors like turquoise and pink, and then you go the extra mile by topping it all off with a crystal chandelier, lots of flowers, silver candelabra, and a scrolly gold mirror.


       You make combining floral wallpaper with floral fabric look fresh and new! All this and flowery lamps with pink shades!?!  Color me enamored.


And you can layer some colorful pattern like nobody's business!  You make me want to climb into this page and ride out the rest of the winter on that sofa.

So on behalf of all of us on team Pretty, thank you for doing what you do, and for making it hip to walk on the pretty side.  Keep up the good work.

xo
Kim

Chic Bargains from Around the Web

Sunday, February 9, 2014

Happy Monday my friends!  It's been a whirlwind sort of weekend, but today I wanted to share some super chic bargains to be found on the interwebs.

Keep your credit card at the ready.

First is this lovely pillow cover from West Elm.  I love all things marbleized and this silk pillow is at the top of my list.  Currently on sale for $19.99

                                                                      here

Equally lovely is the green colorway


And from an unlikely source, these linen grosgrain ribbon trimmed curtain panels from Country curtains are crisp and affordable.


I'm not sure how I feel about this next one.  You be the judge.


Lowe's has a bootleg Sputnik for $189.

And finally, this blue & white paisley wallpaper from Wayfair is a super steal at $5.10.

And speaking of wallpaper, my friend Sharon from Novara Way is sharing a little wallpaper love at her place.  Read about it here.

Thinking Ahead for The One Room Challenge

Sunday, February 2, 2014

Are you planning to link up to Linda's next One Room Challenge event?  It kicks off on April 3, and for 6 consecutive Thursdays the blogosphere with be up to its elbows in progress reports and DIY victories.  If you didn't get a chance to participate in the last ORC Link party, I highly recommend it.  Participating in The One Room Challenge is truly the most exhilarating, stressful, and exciting things I've done since I started blogging.

If you check in on my blog from time to time then you already know that my house (aka Project Dollhouse) is a work in progress.  We're doing mostly cosmetic changes, but even these types of projects can be costly and time consuming.   I have to admit that the One Room Challenge has been instrumental in bringing a few of my rooms to completion.

In the first ORC I made over my family room.



And in the second One Room Challenge I made over my sweet little kitchen:




So what do I have my sights set on for this round of the ORC?  My living room and dining room. They're open to each other and so this ORC will be a 2-fer.

This shot was taken before we even moved in.  We are still enjoying those plywood sub floors only now this space is cluttered with moving boxes filled with all the stuff that goes into these rooms once they get done. It's the perfect candidate for an ORC intervention.

And here's a teeny tiny sneak peak. There will be blue walls.  Don't hate because I painted.  Look at the plywood sub floors.  There is plenty left to do to bring this project to completion.

So who's with me?  Will you be linking up for the next One Room Challenge?  It will be upon us sooner than you think!!
