I love my new brass side table that I scored on ebay for a steal of a deal! It looks perfect in my home and what I love is how unique it is! It was such a surprise today that I accidentally stumbled upon two very similar tables on 1stdibs...for $5200! Well, guess I lucked out!

Decor Daydreaming

Just playing around doing a little decor daydreaming! This little living room setup is extremely out of my price range, but a girl can dream, right? Some of this stuff is vintage from ebay and 1st dibs, some designer and some from chain stores. One of my favorite things has to be that Designer's Guild Cabriole cut velvet in Duck Egg on the bottom right. I would upholster two of those wing chairs in it if I could. To die for.

Faux Bamboo Chandeliers

I'm moving soon, so I have many thoughts swimming through my head about how I'm going to decorate the new place. I have lots of lamps but have never bought any actual light fixtures such as chandeliers or sconces, since I've always been a renter. Luckily my current apartment has gorgeous ceiling fixtures.... Yet unfortunately I can't take them with me .... Thus my hunt for chandeliers begins. I've really been into the faux bamboo chandliers lately, especially the pagoda-shaped ones. Anything faux-bamboo and Chinoiserie-esque is good in my book! Ebay always has gorgeous ones, very similar to the ones on 1st Dibs that they charge an arm and a leg for.
