One Kings Lane

28 March 2012

I might be a little in love with this online store, One Kings Lane.  It’s a home decor sample sale site.  I didn’t think I’d find anything I liked or a price I could love…until I actually clicked through the site.

$300 worth of damage later…I have a bunch of new stuff for the kitchen…and a brand new mirror for the bedroom.  Here are a few scores I found:

These Maison plates come in a set of 4 for $19. (All in French to go with my Parisian kitchen.)

Set of 4 Maison Mugs for $19. (Also, in French.)

Set of 4 Cafe de Paris dessert plates, $25.

Tea towels listing a menu in French! $16.00

But my favorite buy I can’t wait to get?

This little lady was $149.  I had a couple of choices and I went with this one because it was the biggest. 

I did pick up a few more French kitchen accessories in yellow to complement my kitchen and create a new tablescape. 

In other words, my Parisian kitchen is coming along just fine.  Just to give you an idea of the color scheme in my kitchen…it looks a lot like this (so dreamy)…

If you like what you see and love the prices as much as I do…head on over to One Kings Lane.  Oh, and when you sign up with that link, you’ll get a $15 credit when you join.

Kiss Your Life

19 March 2012

Now that my office re-do is finally coming to its completion, I’ve started to redirect my focus on a different room in my home…the living room. 

Technically, my living room has been done for some time now.  BUT…after my trip to Morocco, I decided to do something different with the decor and go even more Moroccan in the living room. But along with that, comes inspiration from different walks in life that just gives you a new way to look at life differently.  These next two prints actually make me think about how I should approach the next adventure.  Here are some items I found today that just remind you to KISS YOUR LIFE.

You can find this print at Joss & Main for a limited time (regular price, $320. On sale for $199.95).

This print is also at Joss & Main for a limited time. (Original price, $430. On sale for $294.95.)

This stencil got such a huge response on Pinterest that I decided that this is how my new wall is going to look.  You can purchase the stencil on Etsy.com for $44.95.

See the little peak of seafoam blue in the corner?  I’m thinking about that sofa in seafoam.  OR if I can find a similar one in steel gray…that would be even better.  You can find this collection at Macy’s.

Even though I like that one from Macy’s (and it’s about $300 cheaper) I am more likely to pick this one up from Raymour & Flanigan, just because of the size and it looks more comfy.  The only thing I don’t like about this selection are the pillows…but it’s not like I won’t be able to do my own stencil pillows from the same stencil design for the walls.  I could do DIY pillows in white/silver…or add a dash of color…like here (see patterns from the wall):

This is starting to look more and more like a spring makeover, right?

As the seasons change, I can easily just change up the pillows and the artwork.  Who knows, I may just change the walls, throw on a white slipcover and some new pillows and be done with it.  Then again…I’m still shopping for a LINEN sofa under $1,000.  Right now…I don’t think they exist!

But as far as artwork (beyond my own) that I’m adding to my collection…these two pieces just made the cut…

You can find this print HERE.

What I like about these 2 prints?  They can go in any room in the apartment.
