I haven't wandered around Target or HomeGoods much lately so when I found that I needed things from both stores, I happily jumped in the car and headed out that way.

Target had a variety of adorable nightstands to fit anyone's fancy!



I really liked this python fabric covered end table. We are currently trying to decide on how to decorate the master bedroom and I loved the cut, the color (its a gray/off white color)  and the adorable hardware on it.


I am looking for end tables for our office area and came across these lovelies as well.



After I galavanted around Target, I headed to HomeGoods. We received a Keurig Coffee Maker as a wedding gift and ever since we received it, I have not set foot in a coffee shop since...well, ok, maybe on special occasions or trips. With the individual coffees, milk and vanilla syrup (I drink vanilla lattes religiously), we clocked each cup at $1.45! HomeGoods sells the Green Mountain Iced Coffee in French Vanilla for $8.99 per box (of 16) so I purchased two!

While walking around, I noticed the horse trend. There were horses EVERYWHERE!





Have you noticed any trends in your furniture decorating adventures?

The Draper Room is almost complete! I've finished adding the major pieces to the room such as the brass etagere, nesting tables and the coffee table. There was one area though that looked blank. It sits in between our dining table (the only thing in the room that doesn't go with the decor lol) and the kitchen. I'd been searching up and down to find a skinny drawer/shelving unit or curio cabinet so that I could move our delicate wine glasses, bar accessories and other items down from the cabinet so that they won't be potentially damaged. I've always been a fan of faux bamboo pieces but couldn't find anything within my price range that suited my fancy. A few weeks ago, while searching on Craigslist for "drawers," I came across this lovely set.



And I just KNEW that was the piece I had been searching for!

In my beedroom inspiration board on Pinterest, I'd pinned several images just like her. Here were some of my favorites:


Curious to see how original she really was, I found a great blogger who talks about the Dorothy Draper "Espana" dresser here. Per Dayka Robinson (who has AMAZING STYLE BTW) "A true Espana dresser will have a finished back" and mine does not. A true Espana dresser is also extremely expensive and the chances of me stumbling upon a set like that on craigslist for $65 is slim to none. Nevertheless, I fell in love with that dresser online and then when I saw her in person. She is beautifully lacquered and has no damage to her! After asking the store manager about her, he said that she was leftover from an estate sale. (I love finding out the history of each piece I buy)

So, I excitedly hauled her home and placed her in the desired spot.

The other day, I was browsing in a used furniture store and came across this guy...


He one minor blemish on him and for only $16, I couldn't resist! Have you ever had one of those moments when you're just browsing and you find "IT" and you just know that's the one? That was one of those moments! I love the lines on the mirror. It just makes it even more Hollywood Regency looking!

Even the hubs was intrigued by it. He then asked how many celebrities in the 70's  partied with this tray... (oh my). We both took turns styling the tray and this is what we came up with

He chose:
A simple decanter with his favorite whiskey and a souvenir glass from his favorite beer event.

She chose:
Flowers and a textured container

Two totally different looks with 1 tray. How do you style yours?


Cheers!
