1. Bragging rights: I found this Barcelona chair on Craigslist for $60. Yup...$60! You can see that the previous owner destroyed it by reupholstering the leather with this God-awful fabric, and apparently, the owner's kids stomped on the leather straps, so several of those will require modification. So, I paid $60 but will have to make a LOT of repairs.
2. Missoni for Target
So, I was able to luck up on a couple items from the huge Missoni release on September 13. I got these canisters, a laptop sleeve and a pair of the suede shoes.
3. Painting
I made this by using some old sample paints purchased from Home Depot. It's currently hanging (above that beautiful vent..lol) on a wall in front of the to-be-repaired Barcelona chair.
4. IKEA Cabinet. I was looking through my favorite blog, 'Made By Girl', where she showcased her floating cabinet installation project (here). I was IN LOVE with the project and wanted to try; but since I rent and am not an professional cabinet installer, I thought I better not really try it..lol. So, I bought this TV stand/buffet from IKEA instead. I'm currently displaying several art and Interior Design books (held together by horn bookends), some driftwood I bought at a flea market and a vase of peacock feathers. In the drawers, I'm storing shoes...see, my place is old. And with old means the closets are depressingly small...so there isn't enough storage space for my shoes. This works..
5. Speaking of shoes...I recently acquired these from one of my favorite retailers, TJ Maxx. Guess open-toe leather booties. Pretty sexy.
6. Book Fetish. Well, I've been on this Art and Interior Design book fetish lately. The Paris one really isn't a book, it's actually for storage..lol. But I have been buying a lot of books lately, I swear. I'm still waiting for their delivery; but I'll send pics of them as soon as they arrive.
7. Bedroom...I'm in the process of switching up my bedroom and found these pillows from Etsy, the nightstands are an "IKEA Hack" of the West Elm Parsons table, the lamps and curtains are from Target, and the duvet set is from IKEA.
