So I have been searching high and low for a large quatrefoil mirror that's NOT $300 or above. I'm wanted to use them for my master bathroom. So I wanted a pair. And spending $600 on mirrors that, let's face it, only my husband and I will enjoy seemed a bit indulgent.<br />
<br />
Especially since we just spent a mint on new carpet, tile and wood flooring!<br />
<br />
So I've been pining away at these gorgeous beauts for a while now and we took a saturday trip to Lowe's to get some faucets (yep, add another $500 to the tally of home improvement costs!) and...<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">TA DA!!!!</span><br />
<br />
There it was. The perfect quatrefoil mirror. Staring right at me.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">30 in x 30 in...FOR $64.97!!!</span><br />
<br />
Thank you Lowe's. I am forever your friend.<br />

My hubbie and I bought a new house (yippee!) and I will be posting pictures shortly.<br />
<br />
It's going to be a BLAST to blog about it because there are a ton of makeovers happening. I'm currently picking out paint colors, and the only thing we've really decided on is a gray for the living room!<br />
<br />
Benjamin Moore Imperial Gray:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IkMmLXWE_Ps/TFMPpjGxYCI/AAAAAAAAB3Q/N3HNqSEdwNE/s1600/MPC0005978-2T.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IkMmLXWE_Ps/TFMPpjGxYCI/AAAAAAAAB3Q/N3HNqSEdwNE/s320/MPC0005978-2T.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But I desperately need help! I'm looking for a cream, a smoky green/blue and a lovely darker warm gray all Benjamin Moore.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I find it so much easier to pick out fictional colors that actually commit to my own. I had it all planned out, but my adorably picky husband pretty much exnayed all of my fantasy colors, of which included a peacock deep turquoise for the entryway. So I'm at a loss and super frustrated.</div>Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00426147249913727641noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908465304245488927.post-9075809465005011572010-05-03T06:45:00.000-07:002010-05-03T06:45:33.628-07:00Thank you Shan!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IkMmLXWE_Ps/S97TZPJTtYI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/W-CSepmgiS8/s1600/Design+Gal+Header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="66" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IkMmLXWE_Ps/S97TZPJTtYI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/W-CSepmgiS8/s400/Design+Gal+Header.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I was so humbled and honored to write a <a href="http://saltlakedesignergal.blogspot.com/2010/05/guest-blogger-tart-paperie.html">guest post</a> for Shan and her blog, Design gal and her handyman.<br />

I mean, I get it for a baby's room. That's the majority of cool ones that I found. Like this one from Coolil:<br />

I know. Don't even ask.<br />
<br />
But the site itself is gorgeous and they have this beautiful little DIY on there for these charming little Easter Egg boxes. I'm usually not a fan of overly intricate antiquey things, but the possibilities are endless! I always forget about decoupage...<br />

This past week was insane, so updates are coming. And I haven't even had time to visit all of the wonderful blogs that I usually frequent. My deepest apologies!<br />
<br />
Secondly, my beautiful friend Stephanie is over in Haiti helping piece back together the broken hearts there. I deeply respect her and wish I had the gumption to drop my life and do something bigger than my day to day selfish existence.<br />
<br />
But alas, there are fabulous people in this world who DO do that, and to them I am eternally grateful.<br />
<br />
I religiously read her fascinating blog, <a href="http://stephprice.tumblr.com/">Heart to Haiti</a> . There was this picture that inspired the artist in me and I had to share.<br />
<br />
These are packages of scented candles on the store shelves - a huge luxury over there. Aren't they just lovely?<br />

<br />
Plus, it really ignited my love of reading again after I went though a dark period of constant work and didn't ever have a chance to get lost in myself. You know what I mean? There's nothing more satisfying to me than breathing and getting lost for a bit in something, anything, and realizing that hours went by. I've once spent 8 hours straight painting and when I was done began crying from joy. Yeah. I'm weird.<br />
<br />
And I just saw the trailer for this book of beauty and CAN'T WAIT! I think Julia is the perfect choice too. Oh yummy yummy.<br />

<br />
The illustrations are so whimsical and fun. You can buy all the cards <a href="http://www.lagomdesign.co.uk/product/?pid=29921">here</a> , but I don't have any idea if there's a place in the US or not.<br />
<br />
And his name is Mr. Sausage. I mean...how cute is that!?!<br />

Sparkles and soft feminine nudes.<br />
<br />
My hubbie and I watched the entire ceremony last night...except for a hour long stint of him snoring...but I was DAZZLED by Sandra Bullock, Demi Moore and Cameron Diaz. Gorgeous.<br />
<br />
Did you know that Sandra is 45!?! She looks not a day over 35. Ridiculous. And she's so much more hilarious and humble than I thought.<br />
<br />
And her speech made me cry.<br />
<br />
I'm obviously smitten with her.<br />
<br />
So here are my fave sparkle looks and nude looks:<br />

I find myself an hour into blog jumping and realize...hey? It's what time?! All I've been doing is BLOG JUMPING?!<br />
<br />
But I love it. And there are so many talented wonderful souls out there that I just can't stop myself.<br />
<br />
One of the things that I LOVE to look at are beautiful headers. I love a great header, and these are just spectacular. I'm so inspired by each of these in such different ways. I'm thinking of creating a "beautiful header award". Does that already exist? hmmm.<br />

My past week has been a tornado of work, and I think it might be getting back to its usual pace now!!! I so apologize for the absence and to show my appreciation, I'll be giving away a prize this weekend! So be on the lookout tomorrow...<br />
<br />
Ever since I spyed this trash chandelier in the Two's Company Dallas showroom this past January, I've been seeing them everywhere.<br />

</div>I don't know if it's a trend or I'm just now noticing these beautiful reclaimed art pieces. Discarded pieces of "trash" can really be so intriguing!<br />
