found another coffee table and decided not to go black this time. i thought the little scallop edges would look better with a creamy off white. it has cute little "turned" legs (isn't that what they call those with all the shapes and detail, or am i on crack?) and it also has two "faux" drawers. (i was all hacked off when i got it cause i was excited that it had storage and then i found out they were pretend drawers! so i'm telling you guys up front so you don't get all hacked off! hee hee) BUT even with the make believe drawers, this is still a charming coffee table!!
classic black shelf. stunning brackets from ballard designs!! shelf is 48 inches long and brackets come seperately...so that they can be hung 36 inches apart on the studs in order to make it extra secure (can you tell that was advice from my man?) then once the brackets are hung - you screw the shelf on with a 6 inch hangover on either side and voila' - a beautimous shelf!!!! 
Took me a minute to decide how i felt about this piece. but the more i look at it and the more i worked on it, the more i liked it. it's totally funky - the legs are round/square/oval, you name it and there is really cool carved detail all around the upper edge. it's a little smaller scale than some and so would perfect in a dorm or an apartment. it really is a FUN-ky little table!
There are two wall hangings here. One says Dream and is done in vibrant oranges, red, teal, purple, black on cream background. the fun part is that with both of these pieces, the pictures is changeable. a magnet attaches the acrylic 4x6 frame so you can easily change the photo. I think that's especially fun on the green one. it says celebrate and has little stars and swirls in all colors so it could go anywhere. i have five kids and my "thought" was that as one of my children makes a good grade, does a good deed, helps me around the house, is extra nice to a sibling, behaves well in church, wins the swim meet, does well at piano lessons - whatever!...their picture goes in the frame for a day or two. they LOVE being "highlighted" in any way and this is a fun way to let the whole family know that they have accomplished something worth "celebrating"!
So i found a plant stand, and i really liked the porch rail/spindle/bottom thing piece. liked the lines of the thing. so i aged, distressed, bunged and finished it and then got all excited to take pictures and therein lies the embarrssing part...it is i plant stand...and i have no plants. i have a black thumb and a wee pot of ivy is all i can grow. (and even that dies about once a year and i sneak out and replace it when my family isn't looking!) so...envision this piece with your hugely healthy boston fern on it. or a big ole pot of ivy and flowers. it would be beautiful in any corner, or really fun on your front porch or deck. or, i suppose, as i have it here...as an insanely high end table! hee hee
These are some way cool hair bow holders - awesome frames - incredible fabric and covered with (drumroll please...) chicken wire!!! which enables you to clip approximately 7,341 bows to each one! These are already on the blog i think... but apparently, none of you have discovered them (translation: nobody has bought one). which means one of two things....#1 - you have not seen them because you have not gone far enough back in the posts to discover them (no excuse for that!) or #2 - you saw them, but don't really know how incredible they are. SO...i am posting them again...but mostly because i need to say thank you to Tracie who is the owner of Elequa Salon and Spa here in Acworth. (770-974-2670) They are now on display in her spa. She is amazing (and no - not because two pieces of my junk are in her store). They are a full service salon and spa (facials, waxing, cuts, color, massages, listening ears, hugs...) they offer it all. Tracie is immensely talented, takes all the time in the world with you - listens and everyone i know leaves happy and feeling beautiful (and if she can do that for ME - she's a true miracle worker). So i just needed to take a minute to say thank you and encourage all of you to take what little money you may have left after you buy MY STUFF and go see her!
