Nice glass!

I was lucky to find a 4 piece set of glasses with my initial on them while thrifting at The Salvation Army. Best part - the set was only $4.

 Sweet and sophisticated!

 

DIY lamp idea

This DIY is really simple. Not so much of a DIY, but more of a clever positioning of household items.

I recently moved into a flat in a downtown area, where you sacrifice size for location. My living room is pretty small, and only has electrical outlets on the left side of the room near the front door.
In desperation of a cheap yet chic lamp that would illuminate the whole room, I had to get crafty.

I originally bought this paper lantern lamp kit at my local TJ Maxx on clearance for $4. (Such a good deal, I had to buy two!) After bringing it home I realized the thought of having a cord hanging across the room as soon as guests walk through the door made me cringe.

In a jiffy I grabbed a basket (also bought at TJ Maxx on clearance for $3) and put the lantern inside the basket.

I think it turned out to be very unique and beautiful!

These boots are too cute.

Came across these boots last week for $10 at a resale shop by my home. They have that look and feel of being perfectly broken in, right from the start. I can't wait to wear these ones out!

Sometimes price is worth the product .. in this case it was!

I was searching online a few years back for a swanky new swag lamp & I stumbled across this gem. It was listed at a resale store a few miles away for $50 and I just couldn't resist. In this case the higher price was definitely worth it! Every guest in my house raves about this lamp, and I enjoy looking at it too!
