Thrift Store Find

After my last appointment today I stopped by my favorite thrift store and Wednesday's are Senior Citizen's day where anyone over the age of 65 receives 65% off of most items. I have never been there on a Wednesday and I think I'll stick to my early Saturday Mornings with a cup of coffee.

I have been eyeing this chandelier for about 3 weeks and after doing some research last night and found this Buichurch for $220 I had to go get it... What do you think?

Hollywood Regency Wing Back Chair

Is all I think about when I found these amazing chairs. Its a private auction and I'm hoping it stays within my budget. This chair would go perfect in our Master bedroom.

Maybe even a cute Gumball leg side table But would look for something with mirrors...

Furnitre Shopping For the In Laws

Sunday's project was taking my Mother in Law Furniture shopping for her living room and Dining room. She just sold all her furniture so we are working with a bare area. She has textured walls painted in a Flat Smoke Grey color (Very similar to our bedroom color but a lighter shade) that makes it look

like concrete walls. She has a set of these Wall Art from Bed Bath and Beyond with a Few dark Wood frames with white art. Taste: Very Modern, clean lines Colors: Very natural colors with a pop of Color. Hopefully sometime this week I'm going to take pictures of her area. First stop was Ikea to compare their quality and price. Next was Z Gallerie. Let me just say.... Wow. I am in Love with this store and right now they have 15% off furniture sale going on. Here are some the top picks Rex This set is more her style, Very crisp clean lines and wide (she has a really large area).This Sofa in a Chocolate Leather With 2 of these White Chairs on each Side Then we saw this 80in Dining Room Table Bryon Gravity And These White Floor Vases Then went to Lunch at Lime... YUMMY!! Have you tried this place???? It was such a cool day, so we sat outside and had some beer with tacos. Yummy. Then West elm, and found these white vases (but we are going to Ikea) Last stop was El Dorado. And found these chairs in White Lets see what we come up with, Ill keep you posted

How to install Cabinet Knobs

Happy New Year!!! Wishing a healthy and happy 2010.

I love days like these... a vacation day off to be able to stay home and finish up some projects. Earlier this week our knobs for our bedroom nightstands came in from ebay seller Jetfast, and they are so beautiful. My Amazing husband installed them and I am in love. Here is a After & Before pic of our finished night stands We have painted them (Instructions on How to Paint cabinets). How to install Cabinet Knobs Step 1 - Measure your cabinet length and width to find the middle of the cabinet. Then cut blue painting tape and place it towards your middle of your cabinet. finally double measure and mark your middle. Use a drill bit that is the same size of your screw and drill into the cabinet door. Step 2 - Get your screw On! Place screw in the back and screw on your knob. Some of these after market knobs have certain screws that are either too small or not universal. If you are going to recycle your old screws from you previous knob it might not work, which is what happened to us since the new screw were too short. So when I went to Ace Hardware to purchase the new screws a wonderful sales attendant recommended me to purchase a threader. Its under $2.00 and all you need is a plyer so that you can 'thread' your knob. This is a great tool, I was able to also use it on the closet knobs. Great money saving tool! What to do if your screw it too long? Add a spacer. I diged up our 'extra screw jar' put to see what we can use as a spacer and drum roll please... a nut!! Yes a nut that is suppose to be installed somewhere in our home but have not figured out where. so for now they will be perfectly hidden behind each cabinet to secure the knob. Stay tuned for my master bedroom makeover...
