Eureka! - Wall Art For The Fashionista

So this week, I had a light bulb moment.  I suddenly had an idea to create some timeless fashion prints.  I did my best to infuse my own personality and originality but I wanted them to be classic and able to be mixed and matched with other wall art so I kept it clean and simple.  Let me tell you, this was so much fun!  Hope you like them.  They are all available at www.alligatorbay.etsy.com

Get Your Shine On With Chandeliers

Hall of mirrors (palace of Versailles)

There is nothing more glamorous or opulent than a beautiful chandelier.  And if there was any doubt about that, I refer you to pictures one and two in this post. And I rest my case.  If a chandelier is in a room, guess what everyone will be admiring?  The chandelier. They are bold, unapologetically amazing and drop dead gorgeous!

Call me crazy but I want a chandelier in my bathroom or in my kitchen.  Am still undecided as to which I will go with but I really like the look.  I used to want one over my bed until I pictured it falling on me as I slept.  Let's just say I got over it after that. Real fast.  In the bathroom though, it does not have to be directly over the tub (in case you're nervous about it falling).  Just place it where it can have great visual impact and get ready to be wowed!

Chandeliers usually are quite expensive so while many of us want one, due to the hefty price tag, it will most probably remain on our wish list.  It's a whole new day as far as options are concerned though.  From reproductions to purchasing used pieces, you now have many choices.  It is finally possible to have the chandelier of your dreams without sacrificing your budget.  And here are a few places where you may find chandeliers at a fraction of the price.  It requires a little tenacity and patience but it is so worth the time.

1.  Check out your local thrift store/s 

2. Garage Sales 

3. Etsy

4. Craigs List

5. lampsplus.

And there you have it lovelies, another one of my decor infatuations.  Hope this inspires you to consider chandeliers in your decorating........you won't be disappointed. Ever.

Am Baaaaaaaaak!

So its been quite a while since I blogged. I had so much going on that unfortunately writing took a back seat for a while. Well, I am back again and this time I am determined to enjoy the journey, wherever this takes me. I realize now that I never started this for any other reason but to have fun, explore and meet people from all walks of life. With this in mind, I am throwing myself into this with wild abandon, bring it on!


Now on to something I just have to share with you! First of all let me just say how much I love burlap, I know its not something most people announce to anyone but hey what can I say, burlap rocks if you know what to do with it! Check out these beauties that I found when I was browsing Etsy merchandise. By the way make sure you check out all the other fab merchandise from this seller, heres the link.
