West Elm No.3

Tribal Bath Mat


Hammam Stripe Hand Towel


Modern Stripe Tumbler


West Elm Mag No.3 came to my door step yesterday and I found some goodies that will help with my bathroom re-design! The Chevron mat is $24, the hand towel $9, and the toothbrush holder $8. Easy and stylish ways to update your bathroom at an inexpensive price!

Bamboo Chairs = Love


So I am thinking about purchasing new chairs for my work space. I love love love the look of these bamboo chairs but with a price tag of upwards of $900 I'd be in the poor house. So doing a little research I thought that these chiavari chairs could be a good solution. Ranging from $30 to $70 per chair is MUCH better than $900. Happy Saving!

Savvy Housekeeping is my DIY ALERT of the day! After finding the green/black lamp above and realizing that the lamp was $229 alone and no shade included...creativity set in.

They used wallpaper to take the plain drum shade and make it fantastic. You can create this look by using any wallpaper, shade, lamp combo! Be creative and mix it up!
Remember any lamp base can be spray painted...this tip can take any drab lamp and turn it into an amazing accent in your home.

Getting ready for green!



As St. Patrick's Day approaches I have start thinking about my favorite color green. Here are a couple items that scream green and will still look stylish on or in your home! My favorite has got to be the pendent lighting...love the pendent look and the strips!
