Look for Less- Herringbone Throw

I love a good throw blanket and am loving the herringbone design lately.  I found a great look for less if you are feeling this look as much as I am but don't want to sacrifice your children's college fund to get it!

Porcelain and Ivory Herringbone Throw | World Market
Porcelain Herringbone Throw
$29.99

Here's a close-up of the herringbone detail.


And here is the look for much more from the fabulous Serena and Lily...
$250

Isn't the herringbone throw just the perfect addition to a neutral couch!  Love it...just not for $250!  


I'll take the World Market version any day, even if the herringbone detail isn't quite as distinct!

And that's your look for less, ladies and gents!

Some Sweaty Class Finds

Funny Seasonal Ecard: My favorite thing about summer is having a valid excuse for my excessive sweating.

Lord, if that wasn't true today.  At 105 degrees, my trip to Class and Trash was a sweat fest!  I was dripping in sweat, and ladies, it wasn't cute!  I fully expected to pull up and see it closed because they don't have AC and it is crazy hot, but Lisa and Kenny are troopers and fight right through it for their customers!  Love them!

In between wiping the sweat out of my eyes I spotted some really great stuff!

This buffet was a STEAL at $88.


Class and Trash (second floor) $88

Love this primitive Desk.  So much character!  Great for extra seating in a family room and what a great convo piece!  Love!


This might be a paint me project but I loved the lion head pulls.

Ooops!  Forgot to get the price but my best guess is....dirt cheap!

Love this sewing table base with the distressed wood top.  

Class and Trash $98

And the piece de resistance...


How amazing would this look on some hairpin legs and used as a table.  I mean, I die!

 Really, I do.

Those drawers, you can't recreate that kind of chippy goodness if you tried!

Class and Trash $40

Loved this chandy too, a real beaut.  
My mind was so blown from the above drawers that I forgot to ask how much.


And I'm sure there were so many more cool finds but 
I was sweating from places I didn't even know I had sweat glands 
and I was lookin' a hot mess!  

Not as hot as this dude but a close second!


(and the pink bleep is for my mother...who still gets mad when I swear)

If you like the Class stuff (and how could you not!) Call them or visit them!

I'm Baaaaaack!

Hey everyone!  Long time no see!

We just got back from visiting my parents in Connecticut and I have to quickly share my mom's latest redo with you.  She found these tables at Goodwill for $4.99 each...


They are Ethan Allen but the tops were seriously beat up so she took her hand sander to them and found a gorgeous wood grain underneath...



The left is after sanding and the right after applying a walnut stain and spray painting the bases white.




I just love the pattern on the wood.  Too pretty to paint!


Alright, I'm off to do a massive amount of laundry and try to get back into the swing of things!  I haven't really parented in over 10 days as my kids played with their cousins and ignored me most of the trip as I sat around sipping on Skinny Girls and the Vino by the Long Island Sound.  Tough life ;)  Reality has just smacked me in the face as my children are fighting like cats and dogs and its a bazillion degrees here in Richmond!

Dropped a few things off at Class and Trash yesterday and found some pretty little things I wanted to share as I was browsing after my drop off!  

ADORE this asian style console.  How fabulous is this, seriously!?!?

Class and Trash $110

And compared to some very similar tables on the market, it's a steal!!!
angelo:HOME Kara Console Table

 Asian Inspiration Wooden Console Table
Shades of Light $999.00

Love this look, for whoever is lucky enough to snag it from Miss Marlynn's booth at Class and Trash.  Throw a few garden stools underneath and your in biz-nas!



Some other fun and wallet friendly finds included this beauty right across from my booth.

Class and Trash $98

Love this painted mahogany chest...make a great larger nightstand...

Class and Trash $98

...or cute next to a chair like this one...minus the ridiculous price...

$818

Love a good butlers tray table...closest thing I will ever get to having a real butler.

Class and Trash $42

and I found basically the posh twin to our Class table at a much steeper price.  

Butler Specialty Company 2427024 Plantation Cherry Occasional/Accent T
$194 +

Alright Ladies and Gents!  
You know the drill!

Thing-a-ma-jigger

Happy Monday everyone!  
Hope the weekend was fabulous!  

So I have a question for you today.  I picked up this "thing" yesterday and I think it's a napkin holder but can't be sure.  I love the clover design on the metal and of course the gold.  
Think it would look pretty on a table top vignette.

Help a sister out!  
Napkin holder?  Any other fun uses you can think of for it?

Glammy Tray, on the Cheap Y'all

I'm so into trays lately.  They make the perfect little addition to any table top vignette so I thought I would try my hand at whipping up my own glammy tray, on the cheap of course!  I hopped over to Hobby Lobby and grabbed one of these wooden trays.  Online they are sold in sets but in the store they are sold individually. 

Unfinished Wood Tray Set
Hobby Lobby
$12.47 for a set of 3

Grabbed my rub 'n buff...


...and I tried to find a link for the snake skin fabric I used but had trouble.  
It's like a heavy vinyl-ish feel so I didn't even glue it in there.  I got it from the fabulous U-Fab.  Ugh, they had some UH-MAZ-ing stuff in there when I stopped in the other day.  Wanted. it. all.

After a little of this and a little of that, here is my finished product.  It literally took me 10 minutes.  Maybe less.  I would have spray painted the tray, which would have cut my time in half, but it is hot as biz-alls out there.



The jars you can find at any Goodwill and the flowers are courtesy of my front yard 
and my hot gardener (better known as my husband).

  

Isn't the tray the perfect addition to my little map drawer table?  
Well I'm keeping it REALLY real today people...
the map drawers are the only thing looking good right now...

this is the state of the rest of my room!!!




For real...that is not a joke.  

It's so weird because every other day it looks just like this ;)  


And no, I didn't just rush around cleaning it up!  
This is from my home depot starburst mirror post!  
It's still a hot mess in there!!!

Summer break is really crampin' my style!
