Friday Finds

I hope you are all getting ready for a long Labor Day weekend.  If you happen to be shopping during the holiday, I have a few finds you should check out.

This chain-link pattern Noble Essence shower curtain from Dillard's is just divine.   The good thing about bathrooms is that they're small so it doesn't take a whole lot to make them stunning.  This curtain would go a long way in transforming your space.  And best of all, it's half price!  Originally $50, it's now been marked down to $25.

Now that the weather is finally cooling down, why not spend more time outside?  These Palmetto all-weather wicker accent tables from Pottery Barn will help you do just that.  You can use it as a table or a stool in your outside area.  For $74 (originally $149), why not?

Since football season is beginning and Halloween and Thanksgiving are just around the corner, it's time to start entertaining!  What better way to showcase your yummy treats than on Martha's (yes, we're on a first name basis) adorable cake stands.  Originally $42, this 12" round cake stand is now $25.20 at Macy's.  If round isn't your preference, they also come in square shapes.  All sizes are on sale and look great stacked.



Want to get your table into the fall spirit, but in a subtle way?  Try these Sonoma Home napkin rings from Kohl's.  On sale for $1.99 (originally $3.99), they will add just the right touch of fall to your dining space.  



And let's not forget our pups.  Look at this adorable windbreaker by the Humane Society of the United States.  It's on sale for $5.98 (originally $11.98) at Toys R Us.  I think our baby, Remington, might need one of these :)

 I hope everyone has a fun and safe Labor Day weekend!  We're off to spend our's in Dallas!

Our Living Room Mood Board

Our living room is slowly but surely coming together.  The biggest To Do's are ordering a new media console, painting the room (which is unfortunately open to the dining room, kitchen, office and breakfast area which means lots of painting to be done!), order a few lamps and a console for the long wall behind the couch. I realize I haven't shared any pictures of our "new" house (we moved in at the end of last October) with you guys.  So here's a glimpse of the living room before we moved in. This is what you see when you walk in the front door.  The dining room is on the left, the living room is straight ahead and the office on the right. A closer look at the living room.  Florida loves their plant ledges...I do not.  You win some.  You lose some.  I also want to replace the tile around the fireplace.   A view from the back of the living room looking toward the front corner of the house. The room behind the half green wall is the o...

Guest Room Before and After-Healing Aloe

 Here is a shot of the room in all of its coral glory.  Great for a teenager, not for a soothing guest room. And here is the Healing Aloe after.  Healing Aloe is a color by Benjamin Moore. It was hard to get a good shot of the true color, but it is more of a seafoam than gray. Aside from painting the walls and buying a new white quilt for the bed, everything else in the space we already had--most of which are hand-me-downs (bed and dresser) or thrift store finds (lamp and side table).  It will all be sufficient for now, and hopefully a space that our guests will love. I'm very happy with the outcome and the progress of one more room in the house coming closer to completion.  One down, three to go (at least in the painting department!)

Table Decorating Contest

Jon and I are leaving to spend a long weekend in San Antonio with his parents and his brother (who will be town from Arizona).  But before we go, I wanted to leave you with some pictures from the Officer Spouses Club Table Decorating Contest that was held last night. I called Jon on my way home from base, and he immediately asked "How was the contest?" to which I responded "Victorious." The 32nd FTS, our squadron, took first place! The theme was Silver Screen so we decided to focus on famous quotes from each movie genre. Each place setting featured a different movie. We had a "drive-in" for our center piece where clips of the famous quotes were shown. Welcome to the Jayhawk Drive-In! Wizard of Oz place setting. The glass had a button you could turn on to make the water swirl and look like a tornado inside. Also notice the witch's feet sticking out from under the plate :) A close-up of the yellow brick road I painted. Silence of the Lambs pl...
