Steal of the week.

2014-08-17T17:17:00.001-05:00

Todays steal comes from Joss and Main. Just incase you are not familiar with the site, it is a daily deal site, that has several deals for a few days and then those deals are gone. Sometimes, you might be lucky to catch the same deal again after a few weeks. If you do see something you like, and really have to get it, I say bite the bullet because chances are you might not be as lucky to catch the deal some other time, or even worse, due to the popular demand of such sites, it might be sold out if you take too long thinking about it.

I have been searching for a zebra hide rug for a long time. Although I have come across quiet a handful of them, they were either too pricey or looked too shabby. Today, Joss and Main is having a lofty living event sale and they have this chic zebra rug that just happens to be the right size I have been searching for. 4'6" X 6'6". Best of all the rug is priced at just a little under $210

If you are in search of a zebra rug, I would urge you to head on over and see for yourself. Create an account here if you do not have one already. Its totally free.

Today's room of the day is this dark toned room, laced with brass detailing. We love the prints on the french chairs and we love the dark wall/shelf color. Although the walls are dark, something about this room still screams cozy.

What do you think about today's room of the day? Yay or Nay?

Crushing on :French Settees

Hello people. Today's post is about a piece of furniture I have always been intrigued by, which has now turned into full blown lust.

I am talking about the French Settee. Since I just completed a history of furniture and architecture class, I though I could share just a little bit about what I learned about french settees before showing you some inspiration pictures.

The French Settee is furniture that was designed in the Rococo period, which falls in the 18th century. By the end of the 18th Century, the Neo Classical period came around and the French Settee was transitioned in features.

One major way to tell which period a French Settee is mimicking is to look at the legs of the Settee. French Settee's influenced by the Rococo Period have legs that are curved, while those influenced by the Neo Classical period have legs that are straight.

Now enough of the technicalities. Lets get on to the pictures I am coveting.

I hope you like these pretty French Settee's as much as I do. Don't forget to comment and subscribe.

Easy DIY Idea

2014-06-28T22:42:00.001-05:00

I love target. I often catch myself looking sideways on the highway to make sure I spot a target sign. Once I do, I find my way to the nearest exit and into the Target store I go. I find that several targets have different merchandise stock, from their dollar bins to their home improvement section.

Yesterday, I wandered into a Target store, not really looking to buy anything, and stumbled across a piece of furniture that could easily be spray painted to mimic a very high end look. Although, I left the store without the chairs (since I really do not have a need for extra seating), the hoarder in me still wants to buy them and store them for future use.

Here is the chair I came across in Target. It is currently not listed online, but the site might get updated with this soon.

Here are some of the pictures of chairs with a similar look. These chairs range anywhere from $1,500 to about $6,000.

Here is how the Target chair can be transformed to give you the look above.

Chair: Target(Not yet listed online) Spray Paint: Montana Gold

I hope you enjoyed this very easy tutorial. If you do try it, be sure to let me know.

Happy Friday people. I hope you all had an awesome week.This post is coming a bit late, but its always better later than never. This week, I have five fav links in the blogging world to share with you. Lets dive right into the links shall we?

This week, Paloma Contreras of La Dolce Vita continues with her clients home reveal, and the one word I would use to describe this young lady is GENIUS!!! Really. She is my inspiration, and I hope to someday meet her, even if it's only for a few seconds. Head on over to see the before and after pictures. You will be amazed.

Project Reveal: A Glamorous Before and After Part 3

I usually find it hard to make salad dressings, which is why you will never see me eating a home made salad. Emma Chapman of A Beautiful Mess have made this recipe that looks really delicious and I have a feeling this might help me start making my own salad. I cant wait to give it a try.

A home reveal I have been waiting for, for quiet some time was released this week. I am talking about the home of Monika Hibbs of thedrscloset. I saw snippets of her home on Instagram and was eagerly awaiting seeing the rest of the house. The wait was finally over this week and boy, was it totally worth the wait. Check out her house tour using the link below.

Home Tour

This week was truly a week of great reveals. EmilyLarkin of materialgirlsblog showed us her bathroom makeover. All these pictures of breath taking bathrooms make me want to redo mine. Looking at the before pictures, you would never have imagined the after would have turned out as amazing as it did. Take a look at her brilliant redo below.

That's all for my Favorite Links for the week people. I hope you enjoy the rest of you Friday evening.
