Week 4. When the rubber hits the road. It's too late to lose those 10 pounds before vacation so to speak:)
Let's talk about a few things that have not worked out because there are always secrets out there....
Sponsors....I sent my list to Overstock and promptly got an email back saying they had nothing left in their budget to give.
Are you kidding me? I was the cutoff? Me. With probably the smallest budget of anyone?
Pissed.
I had the chairs and a rug on my list so I ended up having to buy those things. BUT.....I did not buy them from Overstock [like they care that I am boycotting them]....haha
The rug..... I like it but will say it is very thin so I ordered a rug pad from Amazon and for realz people it is just a piece of felt....no rubber on either side. Good Lord.
These chairs are awesome....I sent out the cushions to be covered because they came in a brown color.
I starting painting the coffee table and used the paint below....which I love....so creamy!
My Minted art arrived so I gotta start figuring out where it is going. Also I meant to order a 30 x 40 on one of them and ordered a 18 x 24 instead so there's that.....grrrrrr.
And Lamps Plus [sponsor] sent me these items....all perfection.
2 floor lamps which to my surprise for 99.00 are so good....heavy and a nice gold/brass finish!
This garden seat.
And this mirror.
My wallpaper girl came on Saturday....uh huh and hung my Pacific Designs [another wonderful sponsor] wallpaper. I love how it looks....a little vintage feeling. Also here is the vintage rattan bar that I found!

Can't wait to sprinkle these around my space so Nancy never has to worry about dead arrangements!
I snuck over on Easter Sunday to start a little styling....
I think my favorite find is definitely that vintage rattan bookshelf for 50.00. Booyah!
Baby steps y'all....the sofa came yesterday and it was a freaking game changer....gorgeous with that Schumacher stripe on it! Now I want a stripe sofa.
You know what's fun....being able to do anything I want....my sister gave me complete carte blanche and if the budget makes it a little harder it's worth it to have creative freedom!
Don't you agree?
Be excited for next week because the chandelier and curtains are happening today and tomorrow!
Don't forget....there are 19 other talented bloggers who are making it happen with their spaces!
