Something most people who know me know that I LOVE a deal. Like LOVE LOVE LOVE a deal. I also really like cool old stuff too, and new stuff for that matter. Regardless, if I'm given a budget I will squeeze every penny till they scream. Haha. So when I found out that one of my favorite bloggers not only lives like 30 minutes away, but was opening her own booth at an antique mall, I was stoked. I told all my friends and all my friends were stoked.
See? Who doesn't love a deal?
Emily A. Clark is such a cool mama. I love her style in her decorating and I've mimicked a few things she's done, but also made them my own. For starters, I used all the same paint colors in my house off of the same paint strip. brilliant I say! So all the colors flow and are light and bright! Check her out if you have time!

| proof that I was there! |
 |
| Her booth on opening day! She had some great stuff! |
 |
| My friend got those jade colored bowls down low. So pretty! |
 |
| I got this globe and it came from a different booth at the antique mall, but for $12? Who can pass on that? |
 |
| My office as of right now. Actually all the kids books have been pulled off the shelf. Lucky me! |
 |
| I bought the bird print in the blue frame from Emily's booth. My wall is starting to take shape! |
 |
| Here's a sneak into a project I did this week. I painted out the ugly oak shelf! |
 |
| Styled for now, but I need to add contrast in the back? Paint? Fabric? I welcome all suggestions! |
 |
| I've considered doing the back in charcoal so the cords would disappear. No one likes to look at cords! |
I still have a tutorial on how I did my cabinets, in the works. Not everyone does it the same way and it's a big project for one person to take on themselves. It can be daunting and though my process may not be for you, it's worth checking out because in theory, it's easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Happy Weekend to YOU!
