The Stars Have Aligned

Paris Hilton thinks it would be HOT if you voted for my monster wall in the Vintage Revivals Room Makeover contest.

The voting ends tonight at midnight, and I’d really be forever grateful if you would take a few seconds and vote for me (#73) and my living room.  I really am truly grateful for everyone who has voted so far – thank you!  We have no idea how many votes each entry has received, so EVERY vote is very important.

Brad Pitt?  Well, he’s already cast his vote.

Victoria Beckham wants you to help me make this room really Posh.

If I win, this random dude is even going to let me borrow his really tall ladder.

All silliness aside, I’d be honored if you’d cast one of your five votes for me.  Just visit Vintage Revivals and click the little star underneath #73.  That’s all you have to do!

Plus, I promise that when I make a little announcement in a few days, you’ll be really, really glad you voted for me. 🙂

Thank you for your support, my dear friends!

One Change Leads to Another

by on 14 Comments

Last week, I ran into SteinMart to see if they had some cute pajamas for a “Jammies and Jewels” Royal Wedding watch party I was attending early, early on Friday morning.

I didn’t find any.  But, I did find some delicious new chandelier shades on clearance for just $2.94 a piece.

I think they are so fun!  I was shocked at how perfectly the blue in the shades matched the blue on my walls (Smoked Turquoise by Glidden).

Now, I feel like I need to do something more with my chandelier, which is what the builder installed and definitely not my first choice in light fixtures.  I’m seeing some spray paint in my future- perhaps in turquoise or bright green.  And if I don’t like it?  No biggie.  I never really liked it to begin with.

As with anything I do, one change often leads to another.

Speaking of changes, if you haven’t already voted for my room – #73! – in the Vintage Revival’s Room Makeover Contest, please, please, please do.  I would be forever grateful.  So would my husband, as I had him painting our master bedroom all weekend long (we aren’t finished, but SQUEE! it’s awesome) and the thought of painting the living room makes him really, really grumpy.  Click here to vote – all it takes is one click, so you could do it in like 15 seconds – or 5 if you have an internet connection much faster than mine.

P.S. I have no idea why my photos are kind of yellow on top. I’m sure I’ve hit the “make the top of your photos yellow” button on my camera and didn’t know it.  That’s really annoying.
