I wanted something tall because my ceilings are tall and of my furniture feels like it's all the same height. I came across this picture on Apartment Therapy. I loved the etagere and how they were using it at a bar/bookshelf/display case. Thus it became my dining room inspiration!<br />

And then I saw this one. And I knew I had to have this EXACT one. I did an image search on Google and found that it was made by Milo Baughman and can run from $500-$2000 online!<br />

I ended up finding one on Craigslist up in LA. It was brass and I had chrome accents already in the dining room chairs and lamps. So I thought I would spray it chrome. Fortunately for me the woman sold it before I could get there to pick it up. I spent the next several hours kicking myself for not offering her more money, not being quick enough to email her, etc. It was a deep sadness for missing out on the PERFECT piece of furniture.</div>

Thank goodness for the Craigslist App. I was laying on the couch wallowing in despair and decided to tweak my search criteria. It was listed as a "trophy case". And it was chrome. I emailed them immediately. It was the best fifty dollars I have ever spent. Granted it was in horrible condition. I spent 3 hours lovingly restoring it to it shiny chromeness. And here she is...</div>

Poor guy ended up spending most of the time on a ladder hanging and re-handing draperies and art. First up was the draperies. I have been obsessed with this pattern for years. I am so excited that I finally got to buy these curtains. My friend Summer has an amazing online store for pillows and curtains. I purchased them from her website <span style="color: #b45f06;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/nenavon">www.etsy.com/shop/nenavon</a></span>.<br />

Next up was picture hanging. I have these four pictures that I had taken in Italy years ago. I hung them with the starburst mirror, but ultimately I would like to do a gallery wall above the sofa. For now, I am using what I have and saving $$. </div>

And lastly my dad convinced me to buy a TV! I had not owned a TV for three years and never really missed having one. Something switched in me after buying my home. I wanted to hang out in the living room, but there was no reason to. It needed an anchor, and it has become my new beloved TV. I am happy to say my evenings are now filled with all shows BravoTV. My dad would be less than proud:)</div>

The first lesson in home ownership for me was surrendering to the fact that I couldn't do everything at once. Of course being a designer I want it to look "finished" NOW, but my bank account said "wait, take some time, ouch you are hurting me!" So I am learning to be ok with the rooms looking 1/2 done all the time.<br />
<br />
I have also made a very conscious decision to bargain hunt, wait for sales and use coupons whenever I am going to make a purchase. Example, the picture below. I knew I wanted to purchase both items and instead of going out and buying them STAT, I waited. I got the mirror on clearance at Lowe's and saved $20. I also got the table on clearance from Cost Plus. I think the original price was around $150, I snagged it on sale for $99, with an additional 10% off coupon! woo hoo, a bargain shopper was born:)<br />

Next up, the fridge. It was something I obviously needed in the kitchen and wanted Stainless to match the other appliances. I scoured Craigslist for days. Most of them were running $250-$350. I kept waiting for just the right one and ended up finding someone that had only used it in their garage for drinks. It was in pristine condition and I got it for $200.</div>

And then there is this beauty! I had been wanting to get an ottoman that I could use at a cocktail table. I started looking and was shocked at how expensive they were. $300-$450!!! and none of the fabrics were all that great. I went to a store near my house that re-sells model home furniture. This sad ottoman had obviously been around for quite some time, the fabric is an awful denim, that had faded from where a tray sat on it for years. I asked for a discount and was told no. So I waited. I went back a few weeks later and talked to someone else. She said the ottoman had been in their store for over a year and a half. I again asked for a discount and she said yes. Originally $145, I paid $85! Of course now I have to pay for fabric to recover it. But all said it will still be less than a new $300 ottoman.<br />

Then I headed back to Craigslist for some dining room chairs. I have the Ikea Docksta table, however the top is in horrible condition due to sitting outside for a year. I was kind of at a loss of what to do with it when I found a great deal. I got a table and chair set for $40. I put the glass on top of the Docksta and will use it until I find something better. I love the chairs, they are the same style as chairs by Marcel Breuer(1928). I looked online for Breuer chairs, and they usually run around $150 each. So four for $40 was a deal in my book. Again, I need to recover them. I am still trying to find the perfect fabric...<br />

As for the table base, I may put it back on Craigslist with the smoked glass when I find a new dining table<br />

A few months ago I became a homeowner! It has been exciting, scary, fun and a bit overwhelming at times. I have found some amazing pieces on Craigslist, sales, etc and it has given me the desire to start documenting every step of my design process. So follow along with me from the beginning...<br />

After moving in I was completely overwhelmed with the responsibility of having to EVERYTHING on my own. I definitely had buyers remorse and shed more that few tears. My friends were amazing during this time and came over and unpacked boxes for me while I was out of town. I came home from my trip to find my house looking like this!<br />

go bold and daring and paint my living room teal!</div>

My living room is now a beautiful blue gray and the "poop brown" is long gone. Why did I live with that horrible color for so long?! Anyway, here is a quick shot to show you some progress. I ended up canceling my online light order and purchasing the almost, exact lamp from Z Gallerie for just $20.00 more. I just couldn't wait another month for this beauty. Now I need a "Handy Man" to come install it!</i><br />

I have been bombarded with Christmas decorations in every store I've been in this week. Didn't it used to be the stores would wait until after Thanksgiving to start selling holiday decor? So here it is November 16th and I am trying to decide what kind of tree to get this year.</i><br />
<br />
<i>I have always had a real tree. I love everything about them. Picking them out at the tree lot, setting them up, decorating while drinking egg nog, etc. But this year I am torn... I live in a teeny tiny apartment, so I have to get a teeny tiny tree. Real teeny tiny trees aren't that fun, and I am kind of in love with the idea of a retro white tree. I feel like if I don't get a real tree I am somehow "cheating" on Christmas. But these pictures have been with me all year and I really want to have one of these trees to look at for the next month!</i><br />

It's off by 3/4". Can you tell? I can, and it bugs me. I'm pretty easy going, but when it comes to design, I have serious OCD. Now every time I walk by, I look at that wonky knob and get frustrated.<br /><br />I have thought about what options I have. I can try to fill the hole, paint and re-drill, however, the drawer is press board, so I am not sure that will work. Secondly, I could call the lovely 800 that came with the packaging and see if they can send me a new drawer front. Or I can just live with it, which </span></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">is probably what will happen considering it only cost me $35.00<br /><br />Next up, pillows. I've ordered the fabric and having it sent to my mom's house... hee hee! Guess what we will be doing for the Thanksgiving holiday? And then onto lampshades. The cone shades on my lamps just won't due. They are begging for these.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4y8az4OVntC0BEzgJNlQcLb_5T7gici3YRYRpGdXUvyuqicOSDrjJe2CXFhGqyBwIP9lmjsHMTRbwPEF9Ns3YU-CCX6F8JB34Vbg9lEJV2PejVH7ZjS6i3LXoXHhy0V5fNHSCCJLcijL7/s1600/20189.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 223px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4y8az4OVntC0BEzgJNlQcLb_5T7gici3YRYRpGdXUvyuqicOSDrjJe2CXFhGqyBwIP9lmjsHMTRbwPEF9Ns3YU-CCX6F8JB34Vbg9lEJV2PejVH7ZjS6i3LXoXHhy0V5fNHSCCJLcijL7/s400/20189.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537002247063262978" border="0" /></a><br /></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">DesignRN</div>designRNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08309346505239711375noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643788715258002301.post-81690757367023590812010-10-22T15:07:00.000-07:002010-10-22T15:28:28.792-07:00Shopping<span style="font-family: georgia; font-style: italic;">While I should be spending my days off unpacking the heaping mess that is my new apartment, I've been shopping instead! Yay, I'm excited to start decorating, but don't want to pull the trigger on anything yet until I have the space unpacked and the layout set. I did purchase this nightstand because it was on sale for $35.00 And then I had to get this knob, because it would look so cute on the nightstand.

I knew it was happening up in LA on Melrose, but to my surprise it was also at Fashion Island in Newport Beach. My friend and I were killing time before our movie was starting and stumbled upon this fun event. All the stores were staying open and most of them were serving "Two Buck Chuck". Because both of us are designers, we skipped the clothing stores and headed straight for the home stores. First up was the new Kreiss store. They have re-invented themselves recently. I always remember them being more Caribbean inspired, but now they are all dark wood, modern lines, etc. Sorry for the bad iPhone pics, but I'm still carting around my 1st generation phone:(<br /><br />Kreiss's store window.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dRDqIFRc32hO5Alwg9M_Li7u6U9-jtxycgHw_AD2mtLfksKI3BnLGrXkE23OvfYBnxClUsivOD7791r9u2sNI1MhhcJ_L7DptQxOLop37mQBtnU_z3XTnAkgVWK5lIklNFG6ENhmWjs3/s1600/IMG_0811.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 475px; height: 356px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dRDqIFRc32hO5Alwg9M_Li7u6U9-jtxycgHw_AD2mtLfksKI3BnLGrXkE23OvfYBnxClUsivOD7791r9u2sNI1MhhcJ_L7DptQxOLop37mQBtnU_z3XTnAkgVWK5lIklNFG6ENhmWjs3/s400/IMG_0811.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516933227971500370" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Next up was Room Service.

The Ikea version would do, but I still didn't want to pay $179.00 for it. I'm going through a frugal decorating phase which is proving to be fun to see how close I can get to the designer version for cheap. I am not kidding you, I found this table for $25.00!

The day after my last post I had to put my dog Jasco to sleep. It was the hardest decision I have ever made, yet I am comforted knowing he is not suffering. I was blessed to spend 13 incredible years with him and will miss him forever. There has been a lot of change in my life the past two months, all of it leading to something great I am sure of. So sadness aside, I am starting a new routine and will be back to blogging next week, because it brings me joy.

I have been living out of a suitcase and boxes for the past two weeks and in desperate need of something to put clothes in. So late last night I decided to troll Craigslist for a cheap dresser. Most of what I found were ugly old Ikea dressers or something from the 80's laminate heyday. Then I found a gem! Emailed the woman selling it and picked it up this morning for 40 bucks.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh5To8drQOFhJGNF-U7Ziwm2X_Rn8CypizKvWe-cUSCFsS1ChbTrNuj1O8GZ1TRjyhPDCLoZD480TjI-G3YFbNCGTYDIXdI_vfOY_JyHoTC05GcW8yxx8uKeFPgz9MmUFFniCJvqG4CPkR/s1600/IMG_0785.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 441px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh5To8drQOFhJGNF-U7Ziwm2X_Rn8CypizKvWe-cUSCFsS1ChbTrNuj1O8GZ1TRjyhPDCLoZD480TjI-G3YFbNCGTYDIXdI_vfOY_JyHoTC05GcW8yxx8uKeFPgz9MmUFFniCJvqG4CPkR/s400/IMG_0785.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509413647451212114" border="0" /></a><br />Now I need to decide what to do with it. I had my first inspiration idea before seeing it in person. Something like this below by Tobi Fairley. I would probably use a dark charcoal gray paint instead of black.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizxeeLcLMSdR8ntGzrNHI_OwbIhC5nYY7Uf61mrIU7XhBEz9SQ4mNvpcE9WUyO_4oJFndtzzs32JB5D_vGWnqdXDFYx30VyVOFBP1NsWf1pDCj1LhvgONQvQLCk0RLaqNws794HNRYL-k/s1600/dressertobifairley.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 339px; height: 422px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizxeeLcLMSdR8ntGzrNHI_OwbIhC5nYY7Uf61mrIU7XhBEz9SQ4mNvpcE9WUyO_4oJFndtzzs32JB5D_vGWnqdXDFYx30VyVOFBP1NsWf1pDCj1LhvgONQvQLCk0RLaqNws794HNRYL-k/s400/dressertobifairley.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509413820603145074" border="0" /></a><br /></span></span>But then I saw the dresser in person and it has a great burl wood pattern on the front, so I am a bit hesitant to paint it.
