A Little Bit of Everything....

Thursday, February 14, 2013

First, Layla Grayce is having a surprise 25% off site wide sale today! It applies to almost everything, and ends at midnight - don't miss it:


AND Home Decorators is having a surprise sale!



So this post is really just a 50 Favorites post because it is a totally random collection of rooms that I love.  I'm off to buy Valentines Day "loot," as my daughter calls it, for my favorite people.  However, our state legislators here made a law this year that kids can't have ANY candy, baked goods, etc., at school.  I totally see the reasoning, but like so many laws, I think it went a bit far.  What was better than being a kid and getting those little candy heart boxes with the sayings on them from everyone in the class?  And no birthday parties at school anymore either.  The schools actually said we should send in pencils for everyone in the class on our child's birthday, instead of cupcakes.  Ha!  Anyway, it makes me sad sometimes, so I am off to compensate by buying a ton of candy for my kids.  See you tomorrow!

Recreating Horchow's Discontinued, Ever So Popular Bedding

Wednesday, February 13, 2013

This bedding was from Horchow several years ago.  Isn't it pretty?


Since I started this blog, I have had more people write to ask me where it is from than I can count.  In fact, I think it is my most-asked question.  And I kind of hate that because I am constantly writing emails disappointing people, telling them that is is discontinued.  It makes me sad.

So, I decided to do a post showing you some alternatives that ARE available.  Here are some options - not all cheap, but similar looking at least.  You can click the links to see pricing, etc.  They are from stores like The Company Store, Serena and Lily, and higher end stores.  I almost gagged when I saw some of the prices, but a couple are affordable :)

My favorite, and I think the closest match:

 Mixed with cream shams and throw pillows like the ones in the inspiration photo, it would be very close. Not sure if these pillows match exactly, but something like this.

And here are some other ones that, with cream shams and throw pillows like the ones above, would create a similar look. The first one is by far the most affordable:

I really hope this helps those of you who were disappointed that the first one was discontinued.  I know how upsetting that can be, believe me!

And here are two sales I love today - modern furniture/accessories and mirrors. I KNOW the mirrors are a good sale because I bought the first one for  $439 and they have it for $229:
