Weekend Update

What happened to spring? Anyone? Seriously - last week it was GORGEOUS out (from what I could tell as I sat at my desk at work) and this weekend it was freezing - I think I walked through a flurry this morning!!

To chase away the "where did the spring go" blues, I took a trip out to the west end to go check out Home Sense and do some groceries.

Home Sense was PACKED. Seriously jammed with people. I guess everyone is into decorating these days! There was quite a bit of patio type furniture and clay urns etc for the garden (if anyone is looking).

I came out with a small mirror that I thought would look good in my front hall:

It's a bit smaller than I would have liked, but I think for the price (cheap) it might work.  I will likely paint it, of course!!

Then on a whim I stopped off at Home Depot and came across this little gem:

I just love her! It reminds me of this awesome rug that Sara at Russet Street Reno has in her dressing room.  When I saw the price ($250 for 8x10!), I knew it had to be mine. I mean ours ;-)

Although it looks a bit navy in the pictures, it is black with an off white pattern on it.

I'm pretty pumped about it. I was so excited that I didn't leave it behind when the cashier tried to tell me it was $400 - I actually walked her all the way to the flooring department and showed her the label. Ha.  I knew I had to have it!

Anyways - that's all for now folks! Hope you had a nice weekend!

Edited to add: I just noticed that the mirror, the pattern on the carpet and my background are all basically the same shape!! Weird?!
