Fall Sale Items...


Here are a few things I got from Macy's recently, all of which were on sale, plus I had a 20% off coupon. Now I just need the weather to get cold so I can wear them. What are your Fall picks?

Instagram Decisions...




<-- These are "StickyGrams," or magnets made out of Instagram images.  $14.99 for 9 magnets with free shipping.  Each magnet is approximately 2" x 2."


















<-- These are from "Printstagram," basically your images from Instagram printed out on nice quality paper.  $12 for 24 prints.  Each print is 4" x 4." I think I have to go with these just simply because of the size, price, and Jen Jones from I Heart Organizing recommended them :)

Obsessed with Chevron

I really am obsessed with chevron.  Below are some images I have captured over the past few months. I didn't realize it is everywhere!! The left is the floor at the Beirgarden in New York City. The chevron on the right was the shingles on a barn in Pennsylvania. Love, Love, Love chevron!!


Change is Good!

We really lack a ton of space in our living room and right now have a wood coffee table that is pretty huge.  We move it to vacuum the rug and the last time we did, I think it hit us! We need more room!  We really would like to get an ottoman with storage to replace the coffee table.  I would love something light in color and soft, maybe the gray and white ottoman above...I also know my husband likes masculine things, and with the new gray chevron pillows combined with the green ones, he is pattern-ed out!  The ottoman in the middle above with the gold grommets is a matching piece to our sectional. I think that might have to be the one :)

Before and After - Living Room

I wanted to share a very special Before and After post.  The pictures on the left below were taken in September of 2012.  The pictures on the right were taken in Spring 2012.  We made a lot of changes. The biggest change that had the most pay-off was removing the old carpet.  We had gorgeous hard wood floors underneath!  I am going to attempt to give a run-down of the cost to re-do this room. Here goes:

Behr Paint: $60 (2 gallons)
Target Curtains: $100
Ross Curtain Rod: $30
Home Depot Rug: $300
American Furniture Warehouse Couch: $800
Etsy Green Pillow Covers: $76
Lowe's Floor Lamp: $64

Everything else we had already or was a gift! We are extremely happy and comfortable with the new space. What do you think?

Fall Shopping for Basics



So this may not seem like a lot, or even really very "Fall-ish," but American Eagle boyfriend jeans are my favorite jeans in the entire universe. When I saw that they had crops in the same style, I had to have them. Not to mention, they were each on sale for $29.99, but I found a coupon code online for an extra 15% off!! The tanks in the middle are from Target and are on sale this week for $5.  I got one in pink, one in white, and a patterned clearance tank for $2.40.  So my new fall clothes added up to $75 including shipping!  YAY! What is your Fall basic must-have?
