Baby Grand Piano

I just LOVE craigslist.org!! It's a treasure trove for the patient and sometimes you find the BEST things when you're not really looking.

Today was one of those days for me.

I just bought a Baby Grand Piano for wait for it, wait for it... $175.00!!!! Yup, I sure did!  (that's not the actual piano but it's the same style that I bought)

I was trolling the List early this morning and not really looking for anything in particular and came across an ad for a baby grand piano. I was like hmmm, this has got's to be a typo. So I emailed the seller and sure enough, it was actually selling for $200.00 and STILL available.

I went to see it and the seller's mom was so nice to me and was chatty, which was great because she had a BEAUTIFUL house and I couldn't help but gush at the fabulous decor. She shared with me a super inexpensive reupholster and a great fabric manufacturer, both friends of hers. She even offered to help me reupholster my Regency dining room chairs. 

So when I finally got around to writing the check, she said, "Just make it out for $175.00"  OMG!!!

The piano is in excellent condition and only needs to be tuned. I'm stoked!

Now I just need to figure out how to incorporate it into my living room design. Yea me!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Today is my birthday and I'm enjoying all the attention, cake and hilarious times with my family and friends.

I'm Happy!

The visual masterpiece was created by Americana Cinema. I wish I knew about them when I got married. They are FABULOUS! Maybe we will commission them for the renewal.

Congratulations Coco and James!!

Linda Evangelista looks BEAUTIFUL in these Talbot's ads and if the intention was to get a younger demographics attention, mission accomplished! I'm totally loving that camel coat. Dare I say, I'm taking a trip to Talbot's?

It was LOVE at first sight when I beheld the fabness that is the Burberry Funnel Neck Aviator Jacket. It needs a home in my closet, post haste!

Light Love

Just a few lighting choices that I'm thinking about making new additions to our home.

Although I've never been a fan of bronze in my home's decor...the first floor lamp has me reconsidering the metallic.
