The look for less:Jonathan Adler lamp

I love this Jonathan Adler lamp

What I don't love is the $395 price tag...Ouch! Especially since it would most likely be in a child's room giving it a very high chance of being broken.


This lamp is the perfect choice for a Jonathan Adler-esque makeover, and at $74.99...(cue Bob Barker) the price is right!!

A little high gloss white spray paint and you have a very similar look for over $300 less than the original! I have to say that I actually like the base of this lamp better than original version. Sorry J A!

Home Office

I'm obsessed with Home Offices these days. We've never had a home big enough to have one. Hopefully when we move in the near future we'll have the space for one. Until then here is some eye candy......

Light Switch

Currently we have a horrid 90's ceiling fan our Living room and ten feet away in our Dining Room we have this gorgeous (and original to the house) chandelier.

So in an effort to pull these two rooms together we ordered this pendant light from here

 

I think it will do the trick nicely! 

Quiet Time

I'm taking a cue from Marianne and doing a Quiet Time post every Sunday because it is something that's very important to me.

Insane in the Membrane

For the past two days I have been dealing with this

 

Our poor 9 month old has double ear infections.  : (

Needless to say there hasn't been much sleeping going on at our house...so what did I decide to do at 6am this morning?

 I'm going to be really sore tomorrow!!

Fabric and a Fish

This fabric (from this post) arrived bright and early this morning

 

It was accompanied by this Holly Hunt upholstery velvet (from the Great Plains collection)

 

 

These pictures don't do it justice, it's so beautiful in person!

These also tagged along.

 

I have big plans for these in our future home office!

All fabrics are from my favorite site: fabricguru.com

Check them out!

In other news, while at my local Ross this week I picked up this guy for $5.99

Look familiar?

 

Except this guy goes for about $240!!!

I'll probably use him in our future office on my desk for pens, scissors etc. 

Until then, here he is chillin in my china cabinet (middle shelf on the right)

 

(Sorry for the glare! It's SO beautiful today, I couldn't bear to close the curtains!)
