I feel a DIY coming on…

I have been searching high and low for the perfect chandelier for Emory’s room.
No such luck.
I have found a couple that I love, but they are WAY out of my budget, so I guess I have no choice but to DIY!
I have seen several DIY capriz chandeliers before, but this one by Lisa Roy took my breath away.
It doesn’t look homemade, which I think is SO important in any DIY project.
Mine will have to be much smaller, but I think it is just perfect.

You can see the full tutorial here.
Do you think I can do it?
I’ve also have some other things up my sleeve for Emory’s room.
I took back the rug, it just wasn’t doing it for me…
And, all of her black picture frames have been spray painted gold!
Hopefully I will get them up soon, I love them.

Chic on the Cheap!

I spend a lot of time shopping online for e-clients.
Which means, I often come across great deals.
Today, I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you!
First, we all know how popular sunburst mirrors have been in interiors lately.
Kirklands is selling this one for $59.98 (currently on sale!), which is a steal for its size.

Kirklands also has this slipper chair on sale for $89.99!
Really?! $89.99 is such a great price for a side chair!
And while you are there, you can also pick up this side table on sale for $59.99!
Love the color.
World market always has the best textiles, but I am particularly in love with this pillow for $19.99!
It is such a beautiful floral with great colors.
Or, Wisteria has this pretty little pillow for $49.00!
Love.

And last but not least, Home Decorators has these adorable shield back chairs on sale for $136.99!
My mom ordered 6 for her dining room. 
They are going to be amazing!
It’s always fun to find chic pieces for cheap.
Now I just have to resist buying them all…

Gallery Wall Update…

I am making some progress on my gallery wall.
Ok, maybe just a little, but I have moved things around…imagine that?!
Do you spy my new Utah map print?
It is from my newest sponsor Livy Love Designs.
She has the best prints, and I especially adore her map prints.
Since I am sure we will live in many states before medical school and residency are over, I thought a map of Utah was the perfect addition to my gallery wall.
You can get your own custom map print here, and for only $15.00!

You may of noticed that I removed my Ikea silhouette. I think she will go above my television, or maybe I will bring her back, I am crazy like that!
And while I was taking pictures of my gallery wall, I realized my house was clean and the sun was shining, a true miracle really.
I couldn’t resist snapping a couple pictures of my living room…
Doesn’t a clean house just feel so good?
If only it could stay that way…at least I can refer back to this picture this afternoon when it is trashed again?!

Fabric Crush: Schumacher Zimba

When I came across this home designed my Melanie Tuner Interiors, I was speechless.
My favorite part, the drapery.
I am absolutely crushing on Schumacher’s Zimba fabric, especially as drapery.

So crisp, clean, and beautiful!

You can purchase this designer fabric here, for a mere $70.00/yard.
Although they would make some spendy drapery, I think they just might be worth it…I am in love!
What do you think?
