Curtain Tie Backs

I was checking out my new copy of Restoration Hardware when I saw these rope tie backs.  I decided I wanted them, and HELLOOOOOO I was not going to pay $67.00 for them.  This is Restoration Hardware tie backs.

I decided to just go to Lowes and get two 3ft pieces of rope.  Total cost $3.50.  Love it !!

I've Been Busy

Sorry for no posts the past couple days, I have been busy!!  I have done two projects, with a possible third on the way.  I just don't have time to take pics and all that business right now.  I will post them both tomorrow.  Happy Friday...!!

New Seating At The Barski

So I showed a picture of the barski and have thought that we really need to get some new barstools.  The ones that are there now are kind of 80's, and not that interesting.  I was thinking about getting something like this.

I kind of like the idea of having arm rest.  The images above are from CSN stores.  The prices are not that bad, but with Christmas around the corner we might have to wait a little while.  Here is a pic of what we have now.

Finally Happy

I have been trying to figure out what to put in this one spot in the house, and I finally figured out what to do.  I gathered up some frames I had kicking around here, took out the glass, and hung those babies.  I love how it turned out, in fact I think it's my favorite thing I've done in awhile.  I love the fact that it required very little work, and no painting.    Check it out.

I Went Shopping 4 Real!

I did a little Christmas shopping with my Mom yesterday, and it wasn't at Goodwill, Salvation Army, or Recycle North.  I have not been to a real store, other than a grocery store in I don't even know how long.  We went to downtown Burlington.  The first store we went to was Urban Outfitters.  That store is so cool!  As I have mentioned I am totally into records right now, and apparently so are a lot of people.  They actually sell vinyl.  Santa Claus (i.e. my Mom) is getting me Bob Marley Legends album........HOOT HOOT.... oh, and speaking of hoot, hoot, Owls are the biggest thing since slice bread there. 
Here are some pics from their website.

They also have the best bedding!  Oh my gosh I just love them all, especially the first one.

We also went to "Old Navy" you have to sing that when you say it.  We got some cute stuff there too!  Little Noah got a cut pair of Ugg style boots.  Adam got a winter hat, and I got some stocking stuffers.  My Mom bought the place out.  She got me those skinny cargo pants that probably everyone has but me.  Love them.  When we were leaving we stopped by Charlotte Russe and we both got matching shoes and sweaters.  She got the style below in black, and I got silver.

My mom didn't get the sweater below, but I did. The shoes and that sweater have Thanksgiving all over it.

In closing, I know it was long post.  I just haven't been real shopping in so long, and I probably shouldn't.  Have a great day.
