First, E's rug. The great thing is that it is soft (chenille) even though it is part jute. I would definitely feel comfortable using in a nursery/children's room. And, I got a 5x8 for $114.00.
Next up, have you checked out Ikea's bedding lately? They have some very cute options. I picked up the Emmie Land Duvet and Shams for $19.99! Plan to use it in our guest room.
I love how this blogger used it in her bedroom.
And, this blogger.
Next up, new lamps I purchased for our family room. They are SO much better in person. And, I got them more than 60% off at the outlet so it was a no brainer.
Suzanne Kasler's gourd lamps in Camel. They are beautiful - I've bought a lot of lamps in my life and these just scream high quality. I know I will have these a long time and I love the neutral color. Ballard Designs is holding a 20% everything sale right now.
Do you see Luke's artwork in the background above? I have a budding artist on my hands.
Excuse the wrinkled linen pillow and the non-existent drapes. One thing at a time…..:) Hope you have a wonderful start to your week!
Lovely! There is nothing like a visitor or house guests to motivate one to nest. I love your affordable finds. I think I have a lamp addiction.

I was just looking at those very lamps this morning. Love seeing them in context.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I'm a huge fan of the Ballard lamps.
ReplyDeleteI think you just got me to buy a rug. I've been himming and hawing over a rug for A's room and I think I just might make the purchase right now. And my friend, these things take time, so take your time getting your house together. I bet these small improvements went a long way. And that bedding is IKEA? I was just there and didn't see these although I did not look thoroughly at the bedding section. I was strictly there for lamp shades and drapery panels.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lamps, and Luke's artwork is fab!
ReplyDeleteI HAVE seen that toile Ikea bedding and commented several times that I wish I had a place to use it. It's lovely and I hope you'll share the guest bedroom space it's going in!
ReplyDeleteThose are great lamps! And you are so smart taking your time decorating your home. I wish I would have slowed down when we were first married...I would have had a lot less buyer's remorse. Now I'm slowly taking things to consignment or putting things in garage sales so I can replace with things I truly love. I have that Ikea bedding in twin size in my daughter's room and it's really pretty! And Luke's art looks great on your shelf!
