Thursday randomness

Well, it's kind of discouraging not hearing back about our bathroom so far. 
Trying not to get too down about it. 

I'm giving it a few more days and then I'm calling it and I'll post the after pics here for all my loverly readers.

In other random news, 

Craigslist:

Brass Swan side tables

Brass twin size headboard

Pretty baubles

Great resource for Hmong fabric-make your own pillows people!

The best bamboo roman shades (put one in the new bathroom-gorgeous with white/cream walls!)

That's all I got today....date night tomorrow night with my main only squeeze and getting my hair did by my fab sister in law on Saturday. New color ya'll, pretty excited!

If you follow me on Pinterest that explains the hair cut/color pinning mayhem that ensued earlier this week....my apologies.

Whatcha up to this weekend???

Matte Black

You know I read somewhere (Living, Etc?) that in Jenna Lyons now infamous black bedroom/bathroom, they used chalkboard paint on the walls to get that extreme matte look and texture. 

Posting will be light next week since we'll be knee deep in our bathroom remodel.

Have a great weekend!

Napkins | Lamps | Mirror | Pillow

Turkish towel | Floor lamp | Ceramic night light | Pillow

Sputnik style light | Throw | Fur Pillow | Floor Lamp | Pillow

Yep, all those goodies are from Wally World. 

Shocked?

Me too.

The ceramic night light looks way high end in person (they had a few other animals too) as do those orange lamps. They also had a really cute owl lamp that if spray painted white would look exactly like the West Elm one.
I snagged that chevron hamper last night, it's even better in person (more gray/cream than black/white) and looks great in the bathroom.

Speaking of which, bathroom remodel starts in one week!

So excited!!

EBTH

Do you know about EBTH, Everything But The House?

Part ebay, part 1st dibs.

EBTH is a revolutionary online personal property and estate sale service provider. But that just scratches the surface…

Our History:

EBTH was born out of a passion for antiques, a desire to change the way that they’re discovered, and a commitment to providing sellers with a better alternative for selling their property. In 2008, Jacquie Denny and Brian Graves posted the first estate sale of its kind to EBTH.com. As word of the new and unique service began to circulate, the phones started ringing…and they haven’t stopped since. Today, we perform an average of 20 – 25 sales per month and our business continues to grow. We pride ourselves on our world-class service, a hard-earned and well-respected reputation, and a track record of success in profitably selling everything but the house. Others have tried to mimic our concept, but none have the experience or expertise of our team at Everything But The House. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished and we’re eager to share our story with buyers and sellers across the world!

Here’s how it works:

1. People come to us to help them sell a house full of items that have accumulated over a lifetime.
2. Our expert staff works with the seller to evaluate their items, catalog, and photograph them. All items are uploaded to our website for sale.
3. All sales last seven (7) days and each and every item starts at $1. We also offer an in-person Sale Preview that gives interested buyers the opportunity to see every item in person.
4. When the sale ends and all bids are final, we collect payment and facilitate pickup.
5. For the buyer, it all ends with the purchase of something that they love. For the seller, it ends with a detailed inventory of what was sold and a quick payment.

Here are some of the items they have for sale right now with their current high bid:
