A Few Changes, A Give Away and an Affiliate


I know it sounds like a lot, I guess it is.  Let's start with the changes, remember here where I was asking for some decorating help?  Well, I want to thank everyone for their comments and want to share some of the changes I made.

Of course this doesn't mean I'm done making changes to these areas, these are just the current changes.  Who knows if I'll ever be DONE!  My poor family.  =) 


Okay so this was the area over the fridge last time I posted.  Such a sad before picture.


And after!  I like this much better, but I still have to fill the space over the cabinets.  Yes I have too!


Mantle before, not so great.


Mantle after, huge improvement.  I love the layered mirrors.  I still have some tweaking to do, but I feel like I'm finally headed in the right direction.


Trunk before.  I have no words.


Trunk after.  Have I told you I love mercury glass?  I found these and the runner at my favorite local place.  I refolded the burlap underneath and Ta Da!  Still needs some adjusting, but what doesn't?


Buffet before.  Sigh.


Buffet after.  Okay, so I didn't do much here, but I did score these great mercury glass candle holders.  My jaw dropped when I found them.  I think I may have even did the jumping happy dance clappy thing I sometimes do.  MAYBE.  To know for sure you'd have to check the surveillance video at Marshall's.  I know I need to change the kids picture out, but it's the most recent I have, so there it stays.



Okay, enough changes, now on to the give away! I just love 'em!  This is really only a sneak peak.  The give away will start as soon as I reach 100, I'm 2 away...so any day now.  I guess you'll have to check back.  This is a preview of what you will win.  A Nest pillow from Sommer at Designer Garden.  Like I said, once I reach 100 I give you all the details.  Pinky Swear.



Other exciting news, I have a new Affiliate!  Yippee!  It's Live the Life, at KristieApproved.com.  I'm going to be doing their workout/diet plan starting Monday.  I'll do a post all about it.  It's a 12 week plan, so I'll be doing a weekly post to keep you updated of my progress, and the word is they might be offering a give away or discount code to my readers.

Thanks for coming by and following me back. I got the green and ivory toile chair at the Ethan Allen warehouse sale a few years ago for less than $500 (it retailed for $1300 because it has a different coordinating fabric on the sides which I guess makes it more expensive there as well). It was a great find.

Great makeovers! I like the tailored runner on the trunk much better. I like the layered look on the mantel, too. Nice!

Looks like a fabulous diet plan! I'll be cheering for you!

Have a great weekend!
